Some of it was HDN fault for playing him injured ( just like how he almost destroyed Payton Hillis) but mostly he just can’t go the whole season without getting hurt. He’s a big crybaby.

He’s a decent, injury prone guy. Those are a dime a dozen in this league.

Oh, and he’s a fumbler. If not for the high draft pick, and the dysfunctional team he plays for he more than likely would have been cut by now by most NFL franchises. Winning ones anyway.

If you don’t want to be called injury prone, how bout you maybe play at least ONE full season with the Raiders! I’m actually pissed he even had the nerve to get his butt on his shoulders about something that is so widely known by ANY football fan much less the media and Raider Nation!! I hope I’m wrong but I will be amazed if he makes it to week 10 healthy! Taiwan Jones should look to make the most of his time in Oakland if these injuries continue to happen though.

He coulda been a contender, but he’s really nothing but a pretender.

You can’t fake being made with a glass jaw.

Official Bust.

The fast, young WRs beginning to get it? No more Michael Bush breathing down your neck?

I’m hoping we can finally see what this guy can do for a full 16 game season this year. Could be exciting times in Oakland.

Turf toe went away, and breaking your orbital bone is nothing but a fluke.

No doubt about it.

He does it all and he does it all very well.

Who else can you say that about?

If he stays healthy for the next 3-4 seasons, he could put up some special numbers.

If, if, if…

Go RAIDERS!

But I don’t question his willingness to play.

Injurys happens, everyone is injury prone. It’s the NFL
Defenses gets paid to stop you, too bad for him though & his past.
This is now the future, the Raiders will move forward and advance to the playoffs, from there it’s anyone’s game! #raidernation!

No longer…he’s useless late in season with seeding and playoffs on the line.

If he plays 16, or even 15 games, he leads the league in rushing and the Raiders make the playoffs.

McFadden has something to prove in this area. As a fan I’m pulling hard for his health and I’m sold on his abilities, but injuries this year could dampen my fire for him.

Fred Taylor had the same problem, but he kept on keeping on. Coughlin constantly listing him as questionable, even when he had a torn groin, didn’t help though.
