For all those writing off JJ he has been about the league leader in the tall forward/ruck category for the past few seasons. Yes he's had a bad start to the year but then again, go and do a side by side comparison with the Captain up until last week, Walker has been terrible as well.
When criticising JJ, people need to compare him to some of the other similar tall forward/rucks. I am not comparing him to the key forwards as that is unfair, so no Kennedy comparisons .
Ben Brown - the guy is great on the lead but does nothing else, prefer JJ
Eric Hipwood - huge talent, prefer to JJ
Harry Mackay - emerging, line ball
Dixon - too much of a knob
Mason Vox - nope
Overall JJ is still top 5 in the league in that tall forward/ruck category
But he needs a spell to get angry, do some damage and come back stronger
