Will Darren McFadden be a great or a bust?

Question

Well, im really now sure if the guy will succeed. Some say he's an Adrian Peterson, but who knows he might be a Reggie Bush type player.

We all know camps don't mean much, but reports are he is absolutely dominating so far.

Will he be really good or bad in his NFL career. Im not for or against either side, but whoever can give the best analysis and proof for their argument wins.

Answer 1

WHEN I SAY DMC YOU SAY MVP!!

Answer 2

He can't be great without a decent O-line.  He'll be called a bust because he won't produce.  But it won't be his fault, since he is surrounded by too many mediocre players.

Answer 3

McFadden will be great  and he will also be Rookie of the Year

Answer 4

More like Reggie. Not sure how he'll do in the league since he plays for the Raiders. It all depends on how well the actual team does. If the D can't do much and Russel sucks McFadden will look horrible.

Answer 5

let me see how he will do in the first  3 weeks of the regular season before I make that decision. It really all depends.  

Answer 6

he's gonna be a monster on the field no doubt!

Answer 7

I think he will be good, but not great unless he goes to a team with a good O-Line.

Answer 8

Probably closer to Reggie Bush.

Answer 9

I think he would be good he played for a different team,the raiders seem to suck the life out of some players

Answer 10

Wow, he is dominating against the Raiders, lets just put him on the list with the 49ers and that one pop warner team.

Answer 11

I think he will be a great player. he's somewhere in the middle: elusive like Bush, yet has some power like Peterson.

The most convincing fact for me is that he played at Arkansas, where they run the ball almost all the time: inside and out. McFadden proved he could run in between the tackles, and be the home run hitter on the outside. Now he's not going to run over anybody like a Earl Campbell or Larry Johnson, but he can plow over some defenders when need be. He's also a pretty good receiver, and can be used on those trick plays as a passer.

I don't why people think he's Reggie Bush. I'm a die-hard USC fan, and Reggie barely ran in between the tackles, and was used all around the field because honestly, he wasn't that dominant as an actual runner. That's why they had LenDale White, so they can have Bush run outside, and used as a receiver.  

Answer 12

i lean closer to reggie than Adrian.  

Answer 13

they will use him more like reggie. The fact that fargas is a capable back and that russell could use a another target will mean more slot from mcfadden
