MJD played most of last season overweight.  He looked slow and sluggish at times.  I think that's a primary reason why the Jaguars were less than aggressive in keeping him around.  He'll go home to Cali and he'll fade away into the twilight of his career.  He might have "something" left, but he's running on fumes.  Too much mileage on those legs, and the injuries have been adding up over the past few years.

 

I've always been an MJD fan, but the guy hasn't been running away from anyone for a few years now.  Even in the season where he won the rushing title, it was one of the lowest numbers ever registered for that honor in recent years.

 

He brought Jaguar fans a lot of fond memories, and he'll always be appreciated for that.  But, the last couple of seasons have shown what happens when you're used like a work horse and expected to carry the offense for year after year.  Couple that with the style of back he is where he seeks out contact, and that pounding does nothing to prolong his career.
