Comments on: Mularkey leaves door open for MJD starting Week One http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/26/mularkey-leaves-door-open-for-mjd-starting-week-one/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 00:58:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: whags334 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/26/mularkey-leaves-door-open-for-mjd-starting-week-one/#comment-1959524 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:05:58 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1136815#comment-1959524 Some of you guys are HI-Larious…first of all, as several have posted, MJD asked for this contract, a front loaded contract. He made 7-8 million the first 3 years and now he is at the point where the contract is winding down. Also, thumbs down to the real genius who posted, see u in week 10, MJD is under contract for 2 more years and after seeing several Shad Khan press conferences, he would rather sit on MJD for the rest of his career (which is about 3 more years) then give him a new deal. That would set a bad precident and the Jags have several players coming into the last year of their contract that will DESERVE a new deal.

The other funny posts are the ones bashing Mularkey and calling him unsuccessful. I will be the firs to admit I wanted a big name coach in Jacksonville but Mularkey has done a heck of a job. Mularkey went 9-7, in his first year in Buffalo and took a perennial loser to the verge of the playoffs. His second year was littered with injuries and a QB controversey and Mularkey RESIGNED when the Bills had the unmitigated gaul to bring back 99 year old Marv Levy to watch over Mularkey’s shoulder. Mularkey has had phenomenal offenses everywhere he has been and he is anything but a failure.

——————
aside from 50 years of mediocrity (at best), yeah, go for it MJD. We all saw how much the Lions “appreciated” Sanders.

Man up and make a decision already!!

Else, the guy who has put in the time is our guy!

Ask your owner show the appreciation by forking first round pick. MJD will be yours.

I hate MJD to leave but that would happen if the price is right.

He failed in Buffalo because of the talent he had to work with. Jones-Drew might want to give it a go. If he holds until week 10…..what team would risk him?

Guess what I would win as much as Joetoronto predicts the jaguars will win this season on my fantasy if i pick what the looser joetoronto predicts.

Hey looser get some life outside slandering the jags.

However there isnt any possible way Detroit could meet MJDs demands.
I wish he would report sooner than later though. He is one of my favorite running backs of all time.

====================

[i]Mistreated?[/i] You have to be kidding me. MJD is entirely in the wrong. He got a front-loaded contract and is STILL making $4.5 million a year. Please.

I think this must be one of the most poorly-executed holdouts for a while. MJD is a great back but he has no real leverage and the owner seems unlikely to fold. RBs only have a limited career at best- wasting a year won’t help him.

But he missed the part about not being the business owner.

See you in week 10 so you can punch your time card for the season.
