Quote:So by your logic, Maurice Jones-Drew should never have been played at running back because he was an excellent kick returner. Got it.

 

*please note, I am not comparing MJD to Todman, just pointing out the idiocy of the statement.

 

Not true. Fred Taylor started and MJD was the backup. Then when MJD clearly showed he can take 50 percent of the carries, JDR made someone else the kickoff returner.

 

Green Bay did the same thing with Randall Cobb. As a rookie he specialized in punt returns. When he became good enough to start at WR someone else started returning punts.

 

Jordan Todman never showed the potential to be great like MJD and Cobb. He is not one of those players whose stats scream, "Make me a starter!" So he is best suited as a KR.
