Still I think managing to play in most of the games is the least that should be expected of any drafted player. That he was run into waiting a defender's arms, or tossed a checkdown pass so often is not a particularly noteworthy thing in my mind. But, hey, you do you.

Wasn't that exactly what they did with MJD?  Who was taking carries or catches away from him when he was setting the previous mark? Why can't we be glad that he didn't just roll over and die when he ended up in the doghouse? He has no control over where he was picked. We picked him where we did to make him the workhorse, and guess what, that's what he did.

What is the expectation for him? 2k yards? Running the turf right out the stadium? Buying all season ticket holders a jersey? I don't get it.

For me... he's just so boring to watch. He runs straight ahead and falls down. There's nothing special about his game. I think that's why a lot of people don't think he's very good.

I'm not saying he's terrible.. he's just average and boring.

With Freddy every play could be electric; that cutback was a thing of beauty, probably best in league history.

MJD you never knew what could happen... group of three tackle him, he squirts out the other side for a TD.

We've been blessed with electrifying RB play in the past
