As for his receiving, when we've got Moss, Porter, Curry, and Jordan on the field, I'd just as soon NOT see a lot of swing passes to the Fullback, thank you very much. Having said that, he's twice had seasons of 30+ receptions. To put that in perspective, Mike Anderson has NEVER had a season with 30+ receptions - and that includes when he was the starting running back. Reuben Droughns has only done it one time - last year, when he played half the year as featured back. In fact, Rob Konrad has more receiving yards... and more receptions... than Mike Anderson and Reuben Droughns COMBINED!. But now you're saying that the guy can't catch? Come on, now...

And he's "over the hill?" This will be the dude's 7th year in the league. He came in one year ahead of Droughns... are you saying that after this year, Droughns is "over the hill?"

Come on, people... why not just give credit where it was due and say that the Raiders got a good player at a good price?
I think he's a stiff.

But love him without regard if you must.
