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.

    • You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.  
    • The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
