TMD likes to play GM in hindsight because MJD had the injuries coming off of that season.  Nobody can predict that.  What he likes to do is float trade scenarios for ANY player that is productive because to him, draft picks hold more value than productive players already on the roster.  He prefers unproven to proven. 

 

Saying I prefer unproven to proven is a bit of a broad brush. 

 

I wasn't suggesting to deal MoJo in 2008, when he was proven, but still had significant tread left on the tires. I was suggesting to deal MoJo by 2011 when it was getting to the point that the decline was on the horizon and the value would never be higher. Add to that the Jags weren't a winning team at that point WITH MoJo, so there really was little reason not to explore trade possibilities and recoup a valuable draft choice to help for the future. 

 

In almost every trade scenario I make there is reason behind it. Its not just blindly trading arbitrary players for picks, just because.
