Quote: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. 

You can spin it however you see fit. 

 

He was coming off of microfracture surgery to his knee and a rushing title that was the 3rd lowest total yards in a decade.  He also had compiled almost 1,500 carries during that stretch which included more than 950 carries in 2009, 2010, and 2011.  He had taken a beating, and the knee was already a concern.  

 

The combination of mileage and injury concerns were already there when you wanted to trade him.  If I recall correctly, you were saying the Jags could probably get a 2nd rounder for him.  Another laugh.  When it was pointed out that he had more value to this franchise than he did in trade, you dismissed that because that's what fantasy GMs do. 

 

It doesn't matter if there's reason behind every boneheaded trade scenario you float out there.  You're only doing it so that when the team doesn't do as you demand, you can whine incessantly about it down the road.  We know the deal.  It's your schtick.  Do I need to dredge up your admissions again?
