MJD Underrated? I think most people think of him very highly around the NFL...a top 10 back. I don't see the underrating

Because he is the best running back in the NFL. Not top 10. He should be in the top 3 at worst. He catches better than Adrian Peterson. He blocks better than Chris Johnson. He plays for a worse team than either of them, with no good offensive linemen. His best two linemen were rookies who got thrown into the fire last season.

His QB is no threat to pass or run and we have no WR help outside of MSW, and really... he is hit or miss.

He also doesn't fumble a lot like Peterson. He doesn't get the yards Johnson does but MJD does it all, wild-cat, block, catch, return punts, return kickoffs. He also doesn't get injured and he is built like a tank. He also isn't a headcase who only cares about a contract. Nobody ever has anything but nice things to say about him off the field.

When you combine all aspects of the game for a running back, he is likely the best. You don't have to take him off of the field to put somebody else in to block, or to catch, or for goal line.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
