Quote:I think a player should have to at least have been selected in the ProBowl three times during his Jaguar career, been considered the best if not (top2) leader statistically for his role/position for at least one season in his career, and broke a Jaguar record for something such as most yards ever by a player or touchdowns, fgs, etc...   before being considered for the Pride...

Looking at that MJD has done all of those things... 3 time probowl player, 1st in rushing 2011, 2x first team All Pro, 2 time NFL alumni rb of the year, jacksonville all time rushing td leader among several Jaguar records...

I honestly dont see how you couldnt consider MJD Pride of the Jaguars, but if they want it to be an even more impressive performance than Maurice Jones-Drew did they should consider removing QB Mark Brunell.  I mean he too only went to the ProBowl three times during his career, his SB win was as a Saint, He only was the passing leader one season 1996, similar to MJD achomplishments (except QB based). 

and (i know this will upset everyone reading this)

You mind as well remove Fred Taylor from the Pride of the Jaguar as he only went to one ProBowl 2007.only made the 2nd team All Pro 2007 one time the same as MJD (except MJD made 1st team twice).  He is in the top 10k while MJD has not made that list, he had over 700 more carries than MJD.

 

Look Im not saying to remove either of those two because they deserved to be in the Pride of the Jaguar, what Im really saying is MJD should be added too.

Fred is 15th all time in rushing yards missing a total of 55 games.

He also is tied for 5th in most TD rushes over 50 yards, and owns the record for longest TD rush in NFL playoff history.

A key part of a team that made an AFC Championship appearance.

 

Whether you like it or not Fred deserves to be in the pride more than MJD does (don't give me popularity accolades)

 

The real question is... where do we draw a line? What is going to be the standard.

 

Should we come up with a checklist?
