I got to give Caldwell some credit on the MJD release

Quote:MJD should be under consideration, but no way should he be a lock.

He had 6 good years. The first three he had to split carries with Fred Taylor, and started very few games. And he still almost reached 1000 each time. He was the face of the franchise for a few years, but ultimately never paid off much.


Maurice doesn't quite have the numbers you like. Or the playoff appearances as a starter. (He did have one year of making the playoffs, along with Freddy T).


Barry made the playoffs 50% of the time, and is the #3 all time leading rusher. He never had a season with less than 1000 yards, and even had 2000 one year.


Fred Taylor is the #15 all time leading rusher.


MJD is #44. He is tied for 31st for most rushing TD's; Tied with Eddie George and Thomas Jones.


Mark Brunell is #35 for passing yards For the record. And 48th for most passing TD's.

I'm not sure MJD had the longevity here to be in the pride though. It's a shame, really.
To add to that MJD is currently about 100 yards behind Herschel Walker on that list. He's in some pretty good company and anytime you can say a player is in the top 50 at his position all time he should be strongly considered for entry.
