Quote:I was calling for them to deal MoJo 2 years ago when he still had value... and was bashed mercilessly for that idea by this board. They all said that idea was stupid.



I read an article on ESPN recently that showed a graph of when NFL RB & WR "peak" and then start to decline...


In both cases the players' statistical production peaked at 27, - they made a point to include even Adrian Peterson as one who contributed to this trend as his stats declined at 28....


but the interesting thing is the RB's decline was FAST after that point, while the WR's curve of decline was much more gradual.


Most RB were pretty much done by 30, with only a few having productive seasons past that...while WR's were productive into their low to mid 30's.


Now, in cases like Gerhart, I do think the decline will be skewed because as mentioned, he doesn't have the wear and tear because of much fewer carries to this point.


But as it was, I was right. We absolutely should have traded MoJo 2 years ago, despite the mouthbreathers objecting that idea.
