Quote:He deserves to go based on his numbers alone.. He was the only player we had worth mentioning the last 7 years besides scobee.This is easy he will be in there.

It's not only about the numbers.  If that was the case, Jimmy Smith would have his name up there by now.

 

MJD will get consideration when the time comes.  It's not happening any time soon.  But, I'm sure he'll get a thorough evaluation by whoever it is that makes the decisions as to which players go into the Pride of the Jaguars.   I don't think MJD was ever a mediocre player undeserving of the honor.  In fact, I think he's probably done more than enough to warrant being in the ring. 

 

What he said in his parting shot will linger with fans, but so will the highlights of his career.  Those will ultimately determine where he lands among the all-time greats. 

 

The guy was the face of the franchise for several years, and it was a well-deserved recognition.  Aside from a few hiccups, he represented this team extremely well both on the field and off.  It's unfortunate that it ended the way it did, but that's the business of the NFL, and MJD is all about the business of the league.  When all is said and done, it wouldn't bother me one bit if he was inducted into the Pride.  He was the only shining spot during a pretty down time in franchise history.
