Nnamdi is still the man. I've always had respect for how he carried himself on and off the field, so I still wish him well. Although I think it's funny that he left thinking he would be going to a contender, when the Raiders are playing better than that "contender" right now, and has a better record. Wonder if he wishes he wishes he was back in Oakland right now.
I will say this, Bush is a beast and someone we need to keep on the roster. I would trade DMac if he isnt willing to play a Reggie Bush type role on our team. He cant be an every down back, imo. Bush seems to always get the job done and I think we are better team with Bush getting 15-20 touches a game. He is bigger and seems to be able to take the pounding week in and week out. McFadden can be used in other ways and still be effective. I dont know, something that crossed my mind.
I love DMac, but the kid cant stay healthy for more than 10 games a year and I doubt Bush will stick around if he is the two behind McFadden. Hue needs to figure this one out. Bush is a beast at 245 and always seems to get the job done when needed. Any thoughts?

It's a tough decision. Without thinking about it, most people would say McFadden is better, but Bush goes off basically every time he starts. I think McFadden can be an every down back, but that aside from the injury issues. I don't know, its gonna be a tough decision. I really hope they can somehow get Bush to stick around, but it will be very tough to keep both.
I think Bush's value is huge considering McFadden has never stayed healthy. McFadden is a star running back tho, but Taiwan Jones could be the missing speed if McFadden were to be traded. TJ (not housh) just needs more PT to see if he's able to weed out those rookie mistakes he tends to make.
Fuck that, keep all 3!

rolling with bush and trading mcfadden is a huge gamble. we've seen this before with backups looking great until they go to another team and have to be the man for a full 16 games. then they start looking mediocre, remember lamont jordan? the only way to keep bush is to make him the starter and pay him starter money. so mcfadden would have to be traded . it would be stupid to not trade him if bush was made the starter.
