Montford Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Just curious as to would Run DMC even come close to having a Vick-like takeover of the fans hearts. Can we even expect him to be what Adrian Peterson has been to the Vikes in his first year? I also hear alot of chat about the Pats taking Macfadden....but why would they do that...dont they have Laurence Marooney whom is a great young back? They just gotta decide to run him more than 9 times a game, but they seem sit as far as franchise RB goes. Sooooo...Macfadden could very well be avaibale to us.

SpikeSpiegel Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 well we could try to re-energize with the draft...like picking reggie bush, but I think wins would have a better overall effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGA Homers LOVE Van Gomer Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 No one will have a Vick like takeover. No one will match the hype he had coming out of college.That being said he will excite the city much more than a QB would.Then there's the whole he's the Razorbacks best player and him coming here would be a nice jab to Petrino.If only there was some way we could get McFadden to convince Petrino he's coming back and then bolt on him at the last minute.

jidady Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 As the best player in the draft, he would energize the fan-base. He's also one of the three or four best RB prospects of the past 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo...Macfadden could very well be avaibale to us.There is no perfect solution but he's the closest thing to a buzz we could ever imagine taking in this draft.Jake Long isn't going to do that and neither is Woodson/Ryan/BrohmNone of them have that Wow Factor or hype around themMy problem is that people are acting like McFadden is all sizzle but no steak.The guy is the freaking real deal and the Bush comparisons are starting to ##### me off because their situations are COMPLETELY different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogFan Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 A 'dirt bag' is a coach who leaves his team less than 24 hours after winning one of the biggest games of the season against LSU and won't even see his team through the Cotton Bowl...not THAT is a Dirt Bag neamed Huston Nutt!!!!In all actuality Bobby had to take this job with the Hogs right away because otherwise it would have been offered to someone else and when he learned that Auburn wasn't up for hire since Tupperville extended his contract it was ARKANSAS he wanted and to get it he had to act fast. We are so happy to have him here with us and are looking forward to a great year. Having recently moved from GA I know the feelings that the area had for Bobby...however, this man walked into a hornets nest with the Vick thing going on and basically a hostile team. I can't blame him at all for wanting away from all the drama. I support the Falcons wholeheartedly and know that in the long run this is best for both teams! Hope you Falcons will do the same.

busboyisback Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Montford (12/12/2007)Really now? I dont see him that good.Then you haven't watched him play.Or if you are, you like the media who hasn't hyped him up must be having a Reggie Bush hangover.But the bottomline is that there is less than a handful of backs that have done what he has done in his three years in a conference like the SEC.Without controversy you can say that he is up there with Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker as all-time college football greats.We're talking about a guy who would have been the 1st pick in a draft that consistent of Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson. Think about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montford Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 -I dont see the logic behind the Pats picking him tho. Marooney is a very good back. They're happy with him. -You gotta be careful mentioning Macfadden's name in association with Herschel...youll stir up some strong feelings. Herschel was just ridicolous...Ive watch Macfadden play a few times but didnt catch a Herschel-like performance...maybe one in a Falcons uni is in store.

taylor228193 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I don't think that would be a wise move. Our offensive line is in shambles and, while Adrian Peterson is an amazing back, the Vikings have one of the best run blocking teams in the league with Hutchinson, McKinney, and Birk. Who do we have?

Montford Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 We've got Forney, Mcclure, & Blalock as a foundation on the line. We could add to that to be a good unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do we have?It's much easier to find an OT in the 2nd round than it is to find a talent like McFadden.Besides, at some point talent can mask weaknesses. Look at Norwood's production vs Dunn behind the same line.McFadden would take pressure off of the interim QB while a QB of the future develops all while putting butts in the seats.And maybe he gives us the mojo to keep the NFC South trend going.

DeathFromAbove Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 If there is one thing that NFL experts almost universally agree on it's that drafting RBs low in the 1st round is a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush had never been a between the tackles feature RB in his college career. McFadden has been just that at a high level against the top defensive competition in college. He's done things the SEC hasn't seen since Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
