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.

      Garrett Wilson is doubtful

      Technically speaking, Fields has been a better QB than Bryce Young in the NFL.  I mean it’s bottom rung comparing by BY isn’t better.  Thats what I don’t get about the talk this week.  We don’t have a QB edge

      Might be different against a team with no legitimate pass catching options outside of their rookie TE though.  Their #1 WR tomorrow has 8 catches this season, next best WR receptions number this year is 4. If we can't defend that while Horn travels with their TE, then we have some serious problems.   Maybe we don't end up doing that in the end, but it's probably how I'd be scheming up the defense tomorrow when they have only 1 non RB pass catching option.

      I fought sleep to stay awake just to watch that fumble on the goal line as we were going in for the go ahead score and said fug it, I'm going to bed. I've seen this movie before. I know how this ends. This bullshit of having California teams in conference with east coast teams is trash. That game probably didn't end until 2:30AM. Hell, it was 2AM at the time of the fumble and there was still 3+ minutes to play. In conference games being played into the 2AM hour for local audiences is terrible for the game. And the worst rule in football really does need fixed. Fumbling through the endzone or a fumble recovers by the D in the end zone should not result in a touch back and the ball on the 20. Fumbling through the endzone should not be a turnover. Fumbling out of bounds isn't a turnover anywhere else on the field. That should be the offense's ball on the one yard line. If the D recovers it in the endzone it should be the D's ball on the one yard line. Everyone knows this and everyone talks about it so just fix it already. If Cal was getting the ball at the goal line instead of out to the 20 I would've kept watching. That's a completely different scenario than the ball at the 20.
