Quote:Shefter was asked if the Jags should trade MJD since they are in full rebuilding mode and Shefter says it probably won't happen, due to obvious reasons that we have discussed.  He did go on to say MJD is averaging 2.3 yards per carry this year and hasn't even come close to a 100 yard game, and there wouldn't be any teams knocking the door down.  Then reality hit when he said "He is an older back" 

 

Of course we all know he is older and injured.  Its always tough to let go. 

 

So that leads to my question to all of the die-hards on this board.  I was hoping the die-softs wouldn't chime in with the usual "One-Liners"....but a reason behind your opinion would be appreciated. 

 

With the way this year is going, and with the way that the season is probably going to end up (2-14 or something along those lines).............Is it safe to say this is MJD's last year in Jacksonville?  I'm neutral on this topic as of right now.

If the current trend with the roster is any indication, there's no reason to think MJD will be back next year.


Regardless of what the rumor mill might be spinning, the reality is he's an aging running back who has suffered two significant season ending injuries, he's getting close to 30, and he's got a ton of mileage on those legs.
