Quote:MJD has given us a couple of pro bowl years and 1000 yard seasons as well as a rushing title. There is no doubt he has given this franchise and city his best effort. However, I think MJD's stardom and hype has done more negative to this franchise than many understand.

 

His first year starting, Jack Del Rio at the time decided halfway through the season that running the damn ball 20+ times even on 3rd down was the right thing to do. At that time, We had Fred Taylor as well. The tandom wrecked face until he was cut. Ever since, Every single coach that has passed through here has leaned on MJD almost to the point of avoiding the passing game at all.

 

I am of the belief that in the last 5-6 years, This league has been transformed into a passing league and as such you CANNOT win a superbowl with a potent passing attack. Even the steelers won the superbowl by passing. Yet, Our recent coaches think MJD could change that fact. HE cant. No back can. A potent passing attack isn't born by adding a better QB or better WR's. Its born and developed by using it. Its like a muscle. The more you use it, The better it becomes.

 

Overall, MJD needs to go. He's been exciting to watch but coaches have been leaning on him way too much. Its time to lean on the passing game. WITH OR WITHOUT a good QB. Thankfully it seems Fisch and Bradely are taking the passing game more serious. I think itll improve bigtime as we go forward.
