Sorry to burst your bubble but he's just not that good right now and may never fully come back from that Achilles. The clots game? You mean the game where he rushed 23 times for 64 yards and 37 of that came on one play? Just look at the decline man. Since week 4, he has progressively gotten worse.

JRob was really good before his injury but there's a reason the Jags moved on from him and there's a reason the Jets are using him. He just doesn't have it anymore.

I mean, you're making my point for me...  Dude still had explosiveness, and was a good vet that could teach ETN a thing or two.  

Instead, we have a 2nd year ETN that can't hold onto the ball or figure out when to take a hit or when to just get down/out of bounds. And we have a new group of RBs that are less than the one we traded.  All for a 5th round pick that will wind up on the practice squad at best.

It has turned out to be a bad trade.  It's OK to admit it.  Again, the Achilles obviously was going to shorten his career.  But he had gas in the tank, and his talent and experience with this current RB corps is absolutely more valuable than a 5th round pick, prima facia

Hahahah it has actually been a good trade for the Jags. A 5th rounder for a guy who can't even get playing time on a team that currently doesn't have their top 2 backs? Not sure at all how this is a bad trade for the Jags. He might not even return a 5th round pick because he never plays.

It's ok to admit he's not the same back after an achilles tear and that he may be cooked.
