There were many fans who wanted to resign MJD to stay and Jacksonville but Dave let him walk. It's a great thing he did not resign him because Drew has been a flat out bum this season.
The stats are just horrific

Even though the jags for some odd reason don't use their salary cap he atleast saved us a ton on not resigning this guy.
He was clear he was done, even while he was still here. He never looked the same after he returned from lisfranc.
Only 3 seasons over 1K yards rushing, wow.
I think that was pretty much a no brainer. Running backs have notoriously short shelf lives and MJD was showing the effects of the injuries. The only Caldwell move that really had me wondering what he was thinking was letting Daryl Smith go.
MJD was not released. His contract expired. I hate it when people call that a release.
David Caldwell had a plan to start over at the running back position. Now we are starting to see some clarity as the offensive line improves at run blocking.

What's sad is his average is higher than Slowby's and he was cheaper. Where Caldwell made a good move letting him walk, but still made a bad one signing Slowby.

You hate it when people don't understand?.... Hmmmmm

Toby's been injured since game 1. Y'all know that, right?

I'd hate to be the one that left your toilet seat up....
It was a pretty easy decision if you ask me, especially considering his downturn, and injuries, the last several seasons he was here.
I was happy with the decision not to resign him, unless it was for a fair deal for both sides.

lol same as mojo, he got rid of one bum for another.
Gotta admit, I thought MJD was gonna have a major comeback year this season. I was way off. I actually think he played OK towards the end of the season.
But he's pretty much wound up in the Black Hole and he's now way to slow to escape the event horizon in Oakland. Looks like his career is pretty much going to collapse upon itself and become a singularity never to be seen again in the NFL universe.

Unless we are talking quantum physics. Drew can utilize the flux capacitor to fall into a worm hole and become the best in an alternative universe.
The sad thing is he burned a few bridges here with his comments. All he had to do was eat some humble pie, say a few nice things about the organization, etc and in a few years you would have yourself a nice sideline reporting gig or commentator spot similar to what Fred is doing.

MJD never had any interest in staying in FL past his playing days. He couldn't wait to get back to the west coast. I can't help but notice how he's completely faded from the media spotlight since going to the Raiders though. Turns out no one is interested in talking to you when you're washed up and bitter
That chip on your shoulder can only take you so far. Eventually your body can't respond to that kind of motivation as well as your brain can
Does he make it into the Pride?
I still miss seeing him in a Jags jersey and hate seeing him in a raiders but I mean the stats say alot.
I still hope Toby does something worth the money we gave him as well.
It was a good decision not to renew his contract. Much the same with Cecil Shorts unless he suddenly catches fire.
