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.

      I'm Sold on Drew Allar

      I find it more like now that I have been forced to watch Young so much it isn’t as much of a shock to my senses.   Desensitized they call it.   For real, it just looks normal almost now. Where the first game of 2023 I wasn’t sure what I was looking at it was so out of bounds for NFL type play. I literally couldn’t make sense of what I had seen vs Atlanta that first week.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      Lynch in SF. Great is subjective but he has done pretty well there.

      CJ Stroud

      Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least.    the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.
