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’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
