EastCoastNiner Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 What are everyone's thoughts on him? Is he just off to a slow start, or is he actually not that good. I think he's a one-dimensional HB that has been overrated for a while. He completely sucked today against the Steelers. Every time I would look up, he would be stopped behind the LOS.

CaliCurbStomppa Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 He isn't that good. I always thought he was overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Still a top 5 back, after AD and MJD you can put him McFadden and Foster anyway you like IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 He ran for 2000 yards in a season, the kid blows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 He ran for 2000 yards in a season, the kid blows McNabb was a pro-bowl player before too, but that doesn't change the fact that he sucks right now. Teams have figured Chris Johnson out, and he's in for a long season. He's just not that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know you won't take it since you're all talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know you won't take it since you're all talk. 1,000 yards? . You can't be serious. That's a pedestrian number for HB's in today's NFL. An HB doesn't have to average over 70ypg over an entire season to break the 1,000 yard mark. I bet you $20 he doesn't finish with 1,600 yards. But, I know you won't take it since you're all talk unlike me who has already made multiple bets with members here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Why would anyone take that? How many RB's reached 1,600 yards last season? And, why would I take his absolutely retarded bet? Do I think Chris Johnson is an elite HB? No, but I do think he can reach 1,000 yards. Going strictly on rushing ypg last season, 19 HB's would have averaged 1,000 yards over the entire season if they all played 16 games, and 17 HB's reached 1,000 yards. If he really thinks Chris Johnson is as good as he says, my offer is much more fair, than trying to make a bet where it's pretty damn easy to reach 1,000 yards rushing.

trutrojan8 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 If CJ isn't very good like you say he is, he should have a huge problem with 1000 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 If CJ isn't very good like you say he is, he should have a huge problem with 1000 yards. I never claimed he wasn't good enough to reach 1,000 yards, or be a top 15 HB, but he's not the best HB or even a top five HB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 would you have honestly said that 4 games ago? Did I think Chris Johnson was a top five HB at the beginning of the season? No. Did I think he would have a very good season? No. Did I think he would be playing THIS poorly? No. I just don't think he's that special of an HB. He has speed, and that's great, but he can't do much else, and that's been the case this season.
