Quote:This is like the 2nd comment i seeing u hating on MJD. I dint get it for the years 2006-2012 he was the only reason jacksonville had national spotlight, he was consistantly a leading rusher. Pretty much our only relevant playing for years. Show the man respect

There is more to 'respect' than stats on a football field... it involves the whole person. MJD was a hold out player when he was our only offensive weapon, leaving the team and the fans in the 'lurch'... and you find that 'respectable'? You mention how he was our leading rusher, and he was... but you also need to see that in the whole context and realize that he (MJD) was the beneficiary of an inept offense which basically limited us to nothing but a running game. How can you not be our best offensive weapon when for years you were essentially our only offensive weapon? That MJD was the leagues leading rusher one season shouldn't, under the circumstances, be reason for accolades but for consternation at how poor our offense has otherwise been as a whole.

 

He has been an outstanding running back, no question. But put him in the pride after being a hold out? No.
