Michael Bush fullback?

"Running back Michael Bush has resisted Cable's idea of switching him to fullback. "He can be a special, special fullback in this league," Cable said. With Justin Fargas as the starter and Darren McFadden healthy after his turf-toe problems, Bush is stuck at third string. The Raiders are down to Lawton at fullback after losing Oren O'Neal in training camp and Justin Griffith four weeks ago, both to season-ending knee injuries." - Tom FitzGerald, San Francisco Chronicle. Tom Cable = Tool

I really, really wish

He hadn’t been drafted by the Raiders.

I share

your exact same thoughts, and pondered why they picked up McFadden??? When Bush was healthy and would have easily been taken in the first round had it not been for the leg injury.

ALso wish he didn’t go to the raiders, but i dont think they should have passed on McFadden either. Unlucky for Bush, but not a bad pick when someone that talented is there. Hopefully Bush will get the hell out of oakland, even if he just moves across the bay. i can’t think of a more screwed up franchise in sports. He’ll get his shot someday, but hopefully it isnt wearing black and silver.

McFadden Is Good

dont get me wrong but when you have 2 good backs already, I think they could have been much better suited picking up another skilled position. Just my $0.02 but I respect your opinion.

Sad thing is he has been there best back all year. When he and Mcfadden split he did better. He and Fargas split.. same end result.

Hold out MB get out of that shit hole

Disgusting

He’s too talented to be third string. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks out, in Oakland or elsewhere.

Yea, give it time.

He’ll have his day in the sun.

Go Cards!

He needs to go to a team that needs a strong power running game. Something to rival the Giants. It’d be great to see him wind up with the Eagles as their division answer to Jacobs.

Not saying it will happen, just that it could.
