I can’t wait to hear what Cutler has to say when MoRon MoJo misses half a dozen games in 2011 (if there is a season, which is looking less and less likely).

As a side note, Jennings was balling when he got in last year.

Jay Cutler says MJD is an a-hole! And I agree.

Take it easy Drew, let it heal all the way, so you can prolong your career.

Jennings will get more, as he’ll move into that all-important 3rd season. He was starting to get his sea legs under him last year. With another offseason, I think he’ll be ready to make those line jukes that’ll give him a smaller guy to knock over. And don’t forget Deji Karim! Didn’t you see him run away from everyone in the last couple games? Dude’s fast.

I will say that I love seeing MJD motivated. Like he needed it, but his history has always been one of overcoming adversity. If he gets a spoonful of it before this year, great. Between him and Garrard, if the chips on their shoulders motivate them, we may be in for a show.

Jay Cutler says MJD is faking it.

Really? We’re comparing MJD to Rashad Jennings?

Now I know the lock-out needs to end.

Let’s get back to reality please.

You knew the reckless abandon the guy plays with was taking its toll. Apologies to those that get pissy about the topic, but this really will be one of the hot-button issues for fantasy football geeks. Dude has always been productive, and he played almost every week last year despite constant reports of knee problems. He’s always been a gamer, and always been a fantasy monster because of his consistensy and touchdown numbers. I’d rather pass on him than risk getting him at number six or seven the year he finally breaks down for good, but you know he’ll most likely gut out another campaign or two, and be a steal for someone in round two. In any case, I hope he has another couple of years left in the tank, as the sawed-off little ball of anger is fun to watch. The Jags may as well run the wheels off him as long as he can go– there’s no future to save him for with those knees.

Yes you should definitely carry the load and shorten your career. Longevity is so overrated!

MJD is arguably the best all around every down back in the league. He can get the tough 3rd and 2 up the gut. He’s exceptional at catching out of the backfield and stretching the field for the deep ball. He’s a great blocker. He has great vision of the field and picks his openings wisely. MJD’s only problem is Rashad Jennings seems to have most of those same attributes.
I love you MJD and I know you still have a 3-4 solid elite years in you, but in the wise words of Janet Jackson “What Have You Done For Me Lately” is and always will be the NFL’s theme song.

I think the Jags would be wise to give Rashad Jennings more touches this year to keep MJD more fresh

I imagine Eric Dickerson still wants to “carry the load” but it doesn’t mean he can.
