Fred got a lot of national love when the Jags were relevant in 98 and 99, though arguably less than he deserved.  Any other year, Fred would have won OROY byt he came out the same year as Randy Moss.
Fred definitely deserved an All Pro nod over Marshall Faulk that year. 

But then the sportswriters forgot about him, mostly because the team was bad.  The injuries came after he was already out of the spotlight.

He will be a HOFer eventually, tho it does really suck that he became so severly underrated, it's at a point where I'm fairly certain if you ask non-jaguar fans who the best RB the Jags ever had more people would say MJD just because of the fact that the media loved him (rightfully so) and because he's in the media.
