Can someone tell my why there's a dilemma in Oakland as to who the starting RB should be?

Question

They sign a beast like McFadden for $60 million and he's not the starter out right?

Who would you have starting?

Justin Fargas

Darren McFadden

Michael Bush

Answer 1

Fargas, and i was a fan of michael bush when he came out of Louisville so get him second, just use mcfadden once in a while and line him up as a receiver, hes just gonna be like bush not able to run up the middle and unable to take big hits or break tackles he was way to overrated coming out of college.

Answer 2

Well even though hes a rookie I would still have McFadden starting, hes pretty d**n good.  

Answer 3

Defiantly Darren McFadden.There should be no question

Answer 4

My guess is because McFadden is still unproven in the professional arena. Just look at Bush from USC to the Saints, it doesn't always translate. he's going to have to earn that starting position just like everyone esle

Answer 5

theres no dilemma! its a dream!!! fargas is the starter. and he deserves it. He plays with alot of heart. Unfortunately he doesnt have the skill set or possible upside that mcfadden or bush have. Mcfadden can cut and is FAST! bush is a d**n train! they guy is huge and he can take hits, look forward to him laying people out. and fargas is experienced and once he dedicates himself he goes fullspeed! this is good and bad. good because it eliminates hesitation bad because it limits improvisation. look for mcfadden and bush to start takin over half way through the season

Answer 6

Have you seen Fargas run. that guy is pretty good. And im saying this as a bronco fan

Answer 7

Its only a dilemma because Al Crazy Davis is calling the shots .

Answer 8

Well hes a rookie and you can never trust a rookie 100%

I would start Justin Fargas and have darren McFadden come in once in a while and then next year start McFadden

Answer 9

No dilemma.  NFL teams are moving to using several RBs as a general rule of thumb.  Gone are the days of running a guy into the ground.  Fargas is a solid powerful back that will most likely see the bulk of early down carries; however, I'd certainly look for split back formations involving McFadden as well as lining him up at receiver and getting him in space.  

Answer 10

Yes, Fargas is pretty darn good himself, just like Chester Taylor of MINN, who eventually backed up Peterson.  I don't see McFadden having a year like Pete last year, but, Fargas has always had a tough time staying healthy, because he runs upright like Robert Smith, former MINN RB.

That being said, Bush is also a beast!

Answer 11

honestly all 3 are showing great potential this year..but i agree mcfadden should be atop that list.  Al Davis plays like that though, same thing last year with jamarcus russell.

Answer 12

What dose it mean to be the starter, it means that the player is in the first play of the game, and that's it. And what dilemma, having Fargas, McFadden and Bush as running backs, is a coaches dream. As far as who will get the most carries, it we be the back that is playing the best that day. McFadden will also line up in the slot and as a wide out also, so he will be on the field more than Fargas and Bush. You Kids have really overrated being the starter.
