Here’s the guy that bitched about Cutler in 2010 being a whimp, and he would play through injury if it was a big game blah blah blah all of those comments made, and look at you now been out for 2/3 of season with your injury what goes around comes around

That’s assuming the Jags will still be playing in May. Few people think they are built for a long playoff run.

If I were a GM, the last place I would put a huge contract is in an RB. Shawn Alexander and CJ both came off seasons where they won the rushing title, big contracts, and then thud.

The reality is a rushing game has more to do with the lineman play – as they set the stage.

The medical & coaching staff blew this big time, because they wanted 2 see it his injury would heal on it’s own instead of do the surgery ASAP. Mistakes like this is gonna cost the GM and the coach their jobs on Monday (Along with boneheaded draft picks/roster moves & the QB debacle). Good riddance, hope the Jags can get it together after Monday.

@kattykathy:

Fade away broke? His current contract made him set for life. $4.5M next season, in a contract year…

Anyone that doesn’t think MJD will be fine in September, playing for a new contract somewhere, will be a motivated man, you haven’t been paying attention.

This injury, however, is the winner of the Miss Management Pageant.

The Jaguars must have been using the Mets’ crack medical staff.

It really is almost without exception that paying a RB is a bad idea. Other than AD I can’t think of another case where it was a wise choice.

Well MJD, back to working for Mr. Wonka in his chocolate factory until this spring. Somewhere Jay Cutler is laughing.

They are bringing in a great FB from the Jets soon so not to worry Jags fans!

So what exactly has he been doing for the last two months? Either MJD was just using the injury as a reason to not play this year or the medical staff of the Jaguars is borderline incompetent.

There are rumors here that even though they were out of contention 6 weeks ago and he was never ready to play, they didn’t put him on IR so that he’d have to attend meetings, travel with the team and earn his money.

If they cut him I hope he plays somewhere else and torches them next year.

He will be a Falcon next season. Will replace Michael Turner and will work with Dirk Koetter again.

for MJD, the reality for May-June is March-April 2014. just sayin’…

He played a game of chicken with Mr. Khan and he lost.

Bye Bye MJD, you didn’t get paid, you pissed off Mr. Khan, and now you will fade away broke.

You can blame Chris Johnson and the ignorant Bud Adams.

I really don’t get why he didn’t just do this months ago to get healthy for 2013 instead of trying to rush back for a team that was obviously nosediving.

Cue the idiots who think he faked this whole thing because the Jags didn’t “pay the man” …

The guy got paid twice – the last contract was extremely front loaded.

It’s very rare when spending money on a RB is a wise investment.
