Quote:People can't see the forest through the trees. MoJo is done. He's where Freddy T was when he went to New England.
I had and i think most people had respect for Freddy when he left and went to the Pats, i can't say i have respect for Mojo, and i may not be the only fan who feels that way.
The bottom line here is that MJD is an aging back with 1800 carries who has started to show signs of decline due to injury and conditioning problems. Toss in a holdout, and he sealed his own fate as far as his long term future in Jacksonville. There's a reason he wound up getting a pretty cheap deal in Oakland, and why no other teams made a serious run at signing him. He landed in a no-man's land where careers go to die.
Had he not held out, and took his conditioning more seriously, he probably would have been given an opportunity to wind down his career with the Jaguars. He sealed his own fate by his actions.
Gerhart should be able to put up solid stats in an offense that is more than likely going to change its identity from a running attack to a more balanced, or even more pass heavy system.

I was strictly speaking from a production point of view, but I agree with some of the above. I had more respect for Mojo prior to his behavior/ actions over the last 3 years.
Everything about the Fred Taylor situation was handled better than the way things played out for MJD. Unlike Drew, Taylor accepted the role of mentor here in Jacksonville, and was willing to take a different role in the offense toward the end of his time here. He didn't hold out, and he continued to work hard to maintain his physical conditioning.
After he was gone, he never took shots at the team. He was rewarded once his career ended with a spot in the Pride, and he was embraced by the organization and the fans as if he'd never left.
MJD could have learned a thing or two from his mentor about doing things the right way. He chose to listen to his agent.
MJD has a Napoleon Complex, simple as that.
If Caldwell is "gambling" with the way he handled the MJD situation and our RB group... I'd say he's gambling on the penny slots.
Every move a GM makes is a gamble. Paying MOJO starter money is high-risk, considering his recent production. Move on, better things ahead for the Jags no matter who carries the rock.
Quote:Serious question. Are you on drugs?
AP tore his ACL towards the end of the 2011 season. He came back and didn't miss a game in 2012 and rushed for 2,097 yards. How in the world is that him shaking off the rust??
Also, MJD is no where near the talent AP is.
Ummm what he do last year?? Thats what im referring too.
Quote:Mojo is old and worn down.
Gerhart is not.
Simple stuff.
LOL
Gene Smith was the biggest gambler when he was in town. Word is his draft board was a giant 50 inch diameter dart board that he threw at blindfolded.
Quote:Ummm what he do last year?? Thats what im referring too.
So, you're saying the rust was somehow time delayed? He put up almost 1300 yards rushing with an injured groin. What did your beloved MJD do coming off an all you can eat buffet off season last year?
Do you have any idea just how buffoonish you sound?
So much hate. So little reason.
Quote:Ummm what he do last year?? Thats what im referring too.
If what AP did last year was rust, then MJD sure could have used some of it.
Quote:Hmmmm ill take 1.2 mill Mojo ova 4 mill Gerhart all day everyday..Ijs.. and playing behind a bad o-line isnt worn down..
I've Luvd MOJO for many-a-years. The face of our organization for the past six years.
He chose to depart.
He chose to test the market.
He chose to sign w/"The Raiders" instead of our Jaguars.
He chose the path that he's taken so I say that "The Train has left the Station and MOJO isn't on it...
It T'd me off because I had to remove my Fathead and give ot to an eight year old Knot Headed Lil Boy...
Dang Nabbitt!!!
NH3...

Drew was a good player and got paid $30+ million from the jaguars to play. He performed well and got paid fair for it. I did not like the fact he decided to hold out and came into camp out of shape last year. (Even with injury he flat out got fat) I think it worked out for both sides that he found a new team. I dunno if he still is a feature back
You know what (balls) move I really want to see Dave Caldwell do? Trade up with Texans for the 1st overall and sign Clowney, giving the Texans are 3rd in this draft & this years 4th round pick & next years 3rd (or 2nd if we have to)... I would hate to see Clowney as a Texan and to have to face that twice a year.

that'd be a terrible trade, imo.
Clowney looked beastly against college olines.
I don't think he'll be so scary in the pros. And I don't think he is worth trading up 2 spots and trading away picks. Certainly when it is very possible the tinhorns go QB and Rams take Watkins or Robinson...
Stick to your board and pick a guy, or trade BACK for MORE picks.
Don't be afraid of what another team may or may not do or what some player may become.

I agree.

It's a good thing you're not running the show then.
