MJD lovers... (1 Viewer)

[Sabertooth]

I fully understand the " " and sarcastic responses I am receiving here in lue of my thread. However, If he had run for 130 yds, on 18 carries, and 1 or 2 TD's, he would be praised as the next coming of Gale Sayers (even though 1 game does not make a season, right?)

In lue?

pretty much sums up the thread right there.Get a brain moran!!!

My comment was about MJD... go back to last year. He has been pretty worthless for the first quarter of the season. I own him, I have no bias against him. I still sat him because he usually doesn't get going until later in the season. Look at last year and the year before Sheesh... it wasn't hyperbole it was just the truth.... but apparently, if it's not what people want to hear, than it must be hyperbole and bias.EBF and BS made an assertion, not an exposition. There's nothing to support any claim that I have a bias against MJD, because I simply don't. I don't follow the FBG part line, but that doesn't mean I dislike him. I see him for what he is. Sometimes the unpopular opinion is the correct one.

The truth is that MJD is immensely talented and his first two seasons in the NFL he's has proved it with statistical production that places him in some very rare company historically. Now I don't know what the popular opinion is, or what the FBG party line would be, and I don't know why you continue to knock MJD at seemingly every opportunity. Is it because you possess some truth that I am blind to, and because you see him for what he is, or because you like him so much?

I didn't knock him... I just said he's not a good start the first quarter of the season. A fact is a fact, whether it's "nice" or not....I said it last year too, and everyone got upset with me... until they lost their first few games because he didn't produce. I didn't go out of my way to knock him, I didn't start this thread, I merely replied to another post which said what I agreed with. You seem to be the one getting upset about a simple comment... what's so important to you about MJD that someone pointing out he usually doesn't start seasons strong is such a big deal?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't personally care whether you like MJD or not, but I wouldn't equate proclaiming "MJD is worthless for the first quarter of the season", with merely seeking to identify or speculate whether this could be some kind of a trend. The way I saw it was that you came into a thread that was clearly a fishing trip, and sought to add to the stinky bait. I wouldn't have bothered to reply, but it annoyed me and I feel like you're trying to play revisionist history by softening your exaggerated statement ever since. It's not that big of a deal really, but I admit that I do have a soft spot for MJD. I love his skills, his playing style, and his exuberance for the game of football. It's OK if you think he is a COP back, or nothing more than a RBBC, but don't be surprised if I defend him when you make a an exaggerated sweeping statement in a thread that clearly was intended to be negative and provoke a fishing trip.

There's the source of your problem. You read into my comment more than what was said. I made a very simple statement, that's all. I haven't tried to soften it at all... I said exactly what I said. The problem is with what you read into it, not with what I posted. My point was actually that no one should overreact to the bad game, as was the point of the post I replied to. However, anything negative at all apparently to you is an attack against MJD. Even your terming my statement as "exaggerated and sweeping" shows you are reading far more into it than what was actually posted.You fault me for coming in here, and replying to a comment, and then defend your own exact same behavior. Sometimes we need to step outside our personal feelings about a player, and see whether what someone says is factual, fishing, etc. I didn't say "MJD Sucks" or "MJD is the worst RB ever" or even "MJD is overrated." Just that for the first quarter of the season he's worthless.

At this point in time, if they don't fix the OL, both Taylor and MJD will not be good for longer than 3-4 games.

I own MJD, so I have no agenda against him.

MJD had exactly the type of game I posted he would have. Very few yards rushing, but probably he'd get some receiving yards and a TD, which is what happened.

MJD is an awesome talent.

But you have to be extremely worried about their O-Line. They lost another O-lineman for the year yesterday and they were already thin.

Add in their below average passing game, and MJD won't be an every-week stud.

His talent is still there, as he looked as good as normal on a few nice plays. But the situation is terrible.

Awesome. Then by the same logic I can go ahead and pencil him in for at least 9 td's this year, most likely more. I'll take that from my #2!

Can we just pretend you've both had the last word?

 

[Interseptopus]

So we should all cut MJD, Portis, Colston, Holt, Housh, etc etc.... Someone lock this goof ball

I am concerned about the Jags OL, but MJD last year went for:

7/32

11/31

15/37

for the first 3 weeks of the season before he exploded. I'm not worried. Last year he finished as the 7th ranked RB in my PPR league with an awful first 3 weeks. Not worried, the receptions will come and that's where his value is

If the OL improves, probably. I hope so.

Thank you

Losing two OL starters this weekend drops him from an every week rb play to weekly matchups, if you are lucky enough to have depth at rb

I am pleasantly surprised to see no MJD topics thus far today, considering he played a football game yesterday! Where's all the love guys? I thought he was the 3rd best RB in football, next to LT and God!! (ADP a close 4th)! I know everyone is going to say that Tenn has a tough run Defense, but if he is the proclaimed stud like 80% of this board thinks, he should have atleast run for 50 yds!! How do all of you fantasy guru's feel now drafting him as your #1 overall RB??5 for 13!! wow, a measely 2.6 avg!! Even LJ, who everyone said is done, finished, the next Shaun Alexander, had a better game than your stud!I wish you folks who think MJD is a top 5 player (not even RB), played in the same league that I do!

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

I fully understand the " " and sarcastic responses I am receiving here in lue of my thread. However, If he had run for 130 yds, on 18 carries, and 1 or 2 TD's, he would be praised as the next coming of Gale Sayers (even though 1 game does not make a season, right?)

In lue?
