What did he do in his last game? Shawn, you could hop on my back and together, we would gain 150+ against the Broncos.

[/QUOTE]I think I'll pass on that ride!!

27.8

It was 27.8, but it was against DENVER.

You could get 15 points against Denver, Shawn!

EDIT: Posted before I saw Patrick's post. [/QUOTE]Jones-Drew has scored close to a TD a game in his career. All he needs is the ball!! [/QUOTE]I agree, but therein lies the problem. For some reason, Del Rio only wants to get him 15 touches a game, when he SHOULD be getting 25.

MJD has had 2 great weeks and 4 poor ones. Those relying on him as an RB #2 are probably already out of the H2H race. I know I am. If I had the chance to go back and redraft my 2008 teams, no way would I draft him again. Next year if Fred Taylor is gone and he's no longer just a change of pace back....maybe.

[/QUOTE]What did you expect from him? He's averaging 14.8 points per game. Are you telling me you would be a contender if you was scoring 20 a game. It sounds like you more problems than the 30 points total he hasn't scored.

I have him down for 3 Td's this week!

Yes, my team's problems go beyond MJD(ie. other bums such as LT, Roy Williams), but that's not the main point. The point is to rip on MJD!

I expected him to be better than bench material 4 of the 6 weeks. I wasted a 2nd round pick on a bench warmer, at least that's what it feels like sometimes. Just seems like almost every time I start him, I've got another RB or flex option on my bench scoring two or three times as many points. I should have taken a WR instead. Equal or better RB's were available many rounds later. I suppose the same could be said of LT.

So 3 TD's this week eh? Should I bench LT and plug in MJD?
