Will he help that poor offense in Oakland. I don't know, but I think it's a good move for them. He sure played well in the Super Bowl.

    don't know that it will be much of an impact with that wreck of a team. As a side note, looks like Rueben Droughns and Jacobs will be sharing the load for the Giants, a definite loss there with no Tiki.

    I think Droughns will be a capable replacement for Tiki...the Giants will be fine.

    Agreed about Droughns, remember he played well with Denver and his first year in Cleveland was very good as well, the Giants did good in signing him. Rhodes will not help much at all IMO, whats going on with Jordan?

    decent pickup for the raiders IMO. they have to start somewhere!

    If the Raiders want to start getting anything going in the right direction they need to get some offensive lineman, Jordan IMO is a better back than Rhodes, so no improvement with this pick-up.

    I see Rhodes quickly becoming an unknown - kinds like Edgerrin James when he left Indy. And with the Raiders having no real passing threat, he's going to do even worse than the ol' Edge. Too bad...he had potential.

    Did someone just say that Fatty Lamont Jordan was a better back than ring-wearing Dominick Rhodes???? I guess someone slept
    through the 06 season!

    I guess people have forgotten Rhodes hasn't had a 100 yard game since 2001?

    Rhodes sure duped the Raiders into giving him money.

    Actually the guy hasn't touched the ball enough! He showed what he can do when he is the man back in 01. This year lost a bulk of the
    carries to Addai. The guy only carved up the "greatest defense in the world" in the super bowl. I think he will be alright.

    MUCH better than Jordan
