If you want to re-establish your credibility then the burden is on you.  I have no reason to do any more analysis.

What color is the sky in your world?  You proved me wrong on a per-snap basis where one person had more than double the snaps played over the other and you completely ignored when those snaps occurred.  It DOES matter because the Bengals virtually never blitz on first down, or second for that matter.   There were simply not the pass-rushing opportunities for Willis.  Take Lawson for example.  When he came in, it wasn't to stuff the run.  Odd, you would leave his impact per-snap out of you calculations.  Because the same situation exists involving him:  MJ was useless at RDE in pass rushing situations but was trotted out there despite better options (Willis, Smith, and Lawson) existing.

Combine that with the fact that MJ is 30 and costs a lot of money that could be spent elsewhere.  He is a really good guy, but he is a below average RDE and in a 4-3 alignment, your RDE should be your best pass rusher.  He isn't close to Dunlap or Geno.  

Do you want to win or have a stable of nice, but ineffective guys.  If you want to win, you move on from MJ.
