Quote:I loved MJD as much as the next fan while he was here with the Jags. He was the face of the franchise for a lot of years. But is he worthy of being in the ring of honor? Not to me. He leaves with just over 8000 rushing yards and 68 touchdowns. Impressive stats, but not worthy of the team's hall of fame. When compared to Fred Taylor, the yardage looks pedestrian. I think honoring the all time greats of a franchise should be reserved to just that, all time greats. History will tell if I'm right or wrong, but what if a couple backs end up between that 8000 of MJD and the over 11000 of Freddy. Do they automatically get in as well? And if so, does it start looking watered down?

 

I have no problem with the names in the ring so far. Outside of Jimmy Smith, I just don't see another player who should be even close to considered for the ROH, including MJD.

Personal Iives aside: One was a druggie while the other is a whiner

 

They both had great Careers.  Jimmy leads the team in all meaningful receiving category's while MJD has the all time TD and season rushing record. I guess it also comes down to is what you consider to be "pride."

 

Are we counting just their playing careers or them as a individual?  If we are counting both then neither should be in the pride but if it's just careers then they both deserve to be.
