Quote:What I'm saying is that the marketing folks at the stadium recognize they need to do other things to keep fans interested during a rebuild.  Brunell was borderline, but the expectation going into last season was that this was going to be a bad team, so it was a smart marketing decision to induct a guy who is still very popular among local fans despite being gone from Jacksonville for a decade.  The fans had something to look forward to, and it was actually a nice atmosphere for that game.

 

Jimmy Smith SHOULD be in the pride, but his off the field antics hurt him.  I can see him eventually getting in, but the longer it takes, the less likely it seems that will happen.  Like Brunell, there are still a lot of fans who would love to see him in the pride.

 

Putting MJD in the pride would not cheapen it one bit. His numbers are more than adequate to warrant consideration.  If this bothers you, feel free to root for the team you actually are a fan of. MJD is one of the best players to ever put on a uniform for this franchise.  This isn't the NFL Hall of Fame.  It's the Pride of the JAGUARS.  You seem to struggle with this.
