No one hates Amelia. In the interviews I've read with him, he seems like an all-around decent guy. He's just not an all-around decent football player. He's the type of guy that, if you need two yards, he'll get you one. If you need half a yard on fourth down, he'll get stuffed for a one-yard loss. Maybe a role as more of a blocker/receiver at fullback or H-back would suit him better, but as a running back, he certainly appears to be a lost cause. He's not the reason the Jaguars are 1-9, but if he were half as good as advertised and picking up even 3.5ypc, the team would be in a much better place.

 

If nothing else, his failure has allowed D-Rob to emerge, so that's a plus.
