That's right, in those 17 losses JaMarcus has led us on one touchdown drive that wasn't a short field or a quick strike or in garbage time when we were down by 20+ points. He did it in the second drive of the opener against San Diego this year. Every other touchdown drive has been a long pass, like the ball to Louis Murphy against San Diego; or a short field, like the one-yard drive against K.C. at home last year after a pick; or in garbage time, like the meaningless points we put up against the Broncos in the 4th quarter when they went up 27-0 in last year's opener.
That's probably why when the Raiders got down by 14 today, everybody knew the game was over. He can't lead us on touchdown drives. It's a remarkable statistic. It means that in losses the Raiders are never, ever controlling the ball. They either get lucky or they don't score. That's it.

Volek for Mcfadden straight up.
I think this the The Kipper’s idea.

Meh
another speed guy that can’t stay healthy? I’d send Volek for Bush and a 4th rounder.

Dude its the raiders

I'm pretty sure the Patriots own the Raiders 1st and 2nd round picks for the next decade
Al Davis traded them to Belichick for a magical phone that works anywhere, and doesn’t have wires!

we do need another RB though....cuz Michael Bennet died right?
If not then why is he taking up a roster spot…or did we cut his ass?

He's been inactive
I believe for every game this season. As it stands, the Chargers have four RBs active each week, which is a lot considering the injuries we’ve had on the lines. Having five would be too much.

He played in Weeks 2 & 3.

Can you blame McFadden for being "hurt"?
He is clearly doing whatever he can to dissassociate himself from that team…

I thought he played in week 2 when LT was out.
Everyone bemoaned how few carries he had.

You're right
he was active for that game and even ran well when he got the ball. Perhaps they’re saving him for the 2nd half of the season?

They must have really hated gartrell Johnson.

There just wasn’t room on the roster for a project RB. If he would’ve cleared waivers, he’d be on the practice squad.

that only makes sense if LT gets hurt again and they actually use Bennett.

We should give the Raiders a first rounder just to keep Russell their starting QB
