My Maurice Jones-Drew Blog

The 2007 season for the Jacksonville Jaguars was suppose to be the stepping stone for bigger and better things. The Jaguars went 11-5 in the AFC South and defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers at Pittsburgh (which is almost unheard of) in the Wild Card playoff game.

Since that stunning win the Jaguars have become just another team. A disappointing season followed in 08' with a embarrassing record of 5-11.

The 09' season seems to be an extension of the 08' season, not much has changed. Not all is lost for the Jaguars, they do have one of the premier running backs in the NFL in Maurice Jones-Drew - who at only 5'7' is a threat every time he carries the ball.

MJD might be good for fantasy players but he can't win games by himself.

The Jaguars pass defense in one of the worst in the league - in the same division as the Colts, QB Peyton Manning will carve them up.

QB David Garrard was suppose to take that leap into one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL, he is yet to take his game to the next level and has become and average QB.

If this is Garrard's fault or the fact he has no play-makers other then MJD remains to be seen.

The Jaguars overall are an average team or just below average at best. The 11-5 record in the 07' season and their win against the Pittsburgh Steelers seems like a distant memory.

The Jaguars do have two pieces in place that have the potential to be good team once again, Garrard and MJD, it's that the rest of the team is mediocre.

The Jaguars must make things happen in the very near future so MJD's talents do not go to waste for a team that is going nowhere fast.
