Let's see. Davis = bone-on-bone right knee. Slaton = spinal fusion. Foster = pulled hamstring. Yeah... Spoiler
He's up there with receptions for RB's. I think CJ's too talented to not bounce back especially now with Britt out for the season, the Titans are going to be running a lot more. He just needs his confidence back.
McFadden is the protypical RB.. Foster is #3 for now only because he needs to have a great year again... Thats still damn good for someone in a Texan uni.. After Bob McNair overpays for him to stay, then lets see if he can keep that same tenacity... He's top 3 for the next 3 years for sure...Unless the Titans decide that its not Hasselbeck or Locker's team but Chris Johnson's
Idiot Texans fans. Jesus, I haven't even had my coffee yet and I have to refute nearly a full page of half-truths and just flat out ignorance. You're all too caught up in a mediocre team with a cream puff of a head coach and a Good Ol' Boy owner who doesn't draft "questionable characters". Foster and McFadden's stats over their last 16 games played is pretty close to identical. This isn't some "3 game stretch" where McFadden suddenly decided to be good this year, he's been damn good since last year. If you stupid honks knew more about the league, you wouldn't need so much help for your piss-poor fantasy teams. No wonder that thread is like 3000 posts long.
OK, maybe so. But re-read the bolded part above and think about it. We are talking about Chris Johnson! I just checked his receiving stats. Nothing special at all. He only has 189 total yards from scrimmage the entire season. His 6 receptions against the Jags were for only 25 yards. He needs to find his head and screw it back on.

one advantage foster has over mcfadden is that bob mcnair will not be feasting on foster's blood in order to keep him alive for another 176 years. that and he doesn't have to play in front of tens of thousands of illiterate scumbags playing dress-up who are more likely to die at each others' hands in o.com's parking lot than to witness another decent season out of the raiders. poor mcfadden. tuck rule.
I think McFadden is for real. He had a 5.2 yards per carry last year. But now he's scoring more, and the Raiders are winning, which make his achievement that much more noticeable. This guy is ridiculously explosive. AP and McFadden are of the same breed. Hopefully this guy stays healthy (playing at least 14 games a season). If he is, look out. He has a chance to come at the #1 spot. The dude is carrying basically the offense. I don't care what Jason Campbell's QB rating is, the Raiders go as McFadden goes. That's why I give AP credit. He produces regardless of his surroundings. CJ is a legit top 3 RB. No way should people fault his slow start since he had that contract negotiations and didn't get any reps in. The Titans' rushing offense is pathetic without Chris' normal production. The reason it's hard for me to put Foster way up there is b/c his O-line is so great. Tate is basically producing "near" Foster's production last year in terms of rushing, and the Texans' are still 5th as a team, which is BETTER than last year (138ypg this yr v. 127ypg last year). Can you imagine AP/McFadden/CJ running behind that O-line? It'll be like Madden on HOF mode. Houston's rushing offense this year averages 138 yards per game, 5th in the L. He might stay on the cheap rate if the Texans keep producing that way with him riding the pine.
I think I'll take Mcfadden right now over Foster just because Mcfadden is so damn explosive. The dude could be having a bad game and then BAM bust one for about 50 yards to get things going. Anyone who runs for 177 yards on the Jets is for real.
So the last 16 games? That includes McFaddens last game and Fosters being pulled out for a hamstring. How about last 17 games then, magically if you add the 17th game it's Fosters domination of the Colts. Let the year play out.
I actually compared Foster's 16 games from last season, and McFaddens 13 from last year plus 3 this year.
Lol, so you are saying Raiders ran a better offensive system compared to the Texans last year??? Let's face the fact here, McFadden is more talented then Arian Foster. There is a reason he was a top 5 pick and Foster went undrafted.
So, you think any QB is better than Tom Brady, just because Brady went in the 199th pick? There is a reason why qbs like sanchez, flacco, etc. where picked way before him? or there is a reason why Alex Smith was the no.1 pick and Aaron Rodgers was the no.24 pick? the draft position doesnt have anything to do, with how good you are in the NFL. if they would the draft again, foster would be picked in the top 10, or top 5.
