And Frank Gore, Henry, LJ, Rudi, SJ, Alexander, Maroney, Thomas Jones, A. Green, Benson, etc have been such better options? It's been a tough season overall for RBs and so far MJD has performed right around where he was drafted. It might not be as good as owners wanted, it might not be as steady as owners would like, but he's RB11 in scoring in my main league which is actually better than his draft position. Let the hate go man. You really can't spin this one.
I'm sorry, I thought that since you were using FT's #'s that this was a FT vs. MJD comparison.I'd like to see how MJD sizes up week by week against such guys as oh...say.....LJ, Gore, Maroney, Rudi, SJax, etc....you know, guys he was drafted after or around.I'd say that MJD owners are plenty happy in that he has been a boom/bust type RB2. While he may have hurt for some weeks, he has also likely been a big contributor to a couple of wins. He's no lower than RB#15 in most leagues and even higher in some formats.In my league we get return yards and he is currently RB#6 (I drafted him 9th overall). Not exactly a bust and light years ahead of Fred Taylor.And sorry I seem like a n00b to you, just calling 'em like I see 'em, SwitzHUCKS.
Or not. In every league I'm in, the Drew owner (who drafted him in the 2nd round) is in 1st or 2nd place. Look around the league, switz. Most of the RB's drafted ahead of Drew have been monumental busts. Their owners have suffered worse than the owner that took Drew.
Bloom is the EF Hutton of FBG - you would be wise to listen.
Yup.I've watched every Jaguars games. Drew has come up about 5 yards short of having 5 more TD's.
I can't complain. On his TD today he got it three straight times, including on fourth down and goal when he scored. They easily could have kicked the FG.
He's 11th in my non PPR league. Although I don't start him much...
He and MBIII look a lot better befcause another back wears down the defense till they come in. We will see when they get fulltime jobs if they really are true top backs. Fred Taylor gets no respect for the good career he has had.
He's 11th in my league but he won't get the start. Fred goes for me this weekend.But being 11th puts him squarely in the non-bust category. He may be streaky as can be, but he's not a bust.
Yeah. He was taken on the turn in most drafts so he performed as expected. Not great value, but not a bust.On the turn in a couple leagues I took FWP and MJD. While they did not exceed their draft slot like I thought they would, they ended up being the backs I should get there.
Quite happy, Slappy. Won with him AND Romo. Can't wait to see his numbers this week vs. Oakland. Balance is the key.
I'm betting he made a number of owners happy they started him against Oakland... 96 yards receiving
Interestingly though, it looks like he's going to finish with lower numbers in almost every category than he did last year...Less rush yards, lower YPC, less TDsMore rec yards, higher YPR, but 0 rec TDsOverall, while I doubt the MJD owners will acknowledge it, MJD has to be a disappointment, as many expected his numbers to go up, not down. He still has good numbers, and is undoubtedly one of the most talented young runners in the NFL. Maybe next year Taylor will be gone, and MJD's opportunities will increase.I however would say he definitely is NOT the bust of 2007... there were quite a few players with higher expectations that were busts IMO.
Yes, I did think his numbers would increase, albeit slightly from last year. However, he performed at an appropriate draft position where I got him so I can't really complain.I'm betting he made a number of owners happy they started him against Oakland... 96 yards receiving
He has one good game, the game you happen to watch to know this?So where would you take Drew in a redraft next year?Where does He rank as far has RB'S go?Yes will hold you too it.BusterTBronco said:
Many expected his numbers to go up? You realize he had 15 TDs last year? We knew going in Taylor was starting. Fred stayed healthy, and MJDs touches stay down. He finished right around his ADP RB11-15 range. He had ups and downs likes most players. No one expected 1,500 rushing yards and 18 TDs. Most people had him around 900 ish yards and 8-10 TDs, which is more or less where he ended up. In terms of Dynasty, you have to be very happy with his year. In the playoff game Taylor was watching while MJD helped them get into FG range. Clearly MJD is the best RB on the team. If he can hit 225 carries next year, he'll be a lock for a top 10 FF season while still being a mid 2nd round pick. MJD is really a victim of the offense and Taylor. It's a ball control, defensive minded team. But his FF point per touch is crazy. Longterm you have to love his prospects. Taylor will retire, and I think they will bring in a guy to be a RBBC, but MJD will be starting and getting the bulk. Which is all he needs to lock up top 10 FF seasons.I'm betting he made a number of owners happy they started him against Oakland... 96 yards receivingInterestingly though, it looks like he's going to finish with lower numbers in almost every category than he did last year...Less rush yards, lower YPC, less TDsMore rec yards, higher YPR, but 0 rec TDsOverall, while I doubt the MJD owners will acknowledge it, MJD has to be a disappointment, as many expected his numbers to go up, not down.
