Also CJ isn’t a goal line back so the TD differential is not that surprising so I’ll give Arian that he’s bigger and can move a pile a little.. But even in his first couple years Lendale got like 13,14 TD’s in one season all taken away from CJ.

He never misses a game or a practice. He is a patient runner, sometimes he’s too patient which causes no gainers. He’s on a team with a makeshift offensive line. Teams are puttting so much emphasis on stopping him its ridiculous. He doesnt have the luxury of not seeing 8 man fronts unlike Arian Foster. I find it amazing how Texans fans are wanting to talk now since they have only been a relevant franchise for two years. CJ blames the offensive line because its true. Watch some games and stop watching highlights and reading articles before you decide to throw out points and criticize someone.

They have had to platoon over there all year with rookies and guys with no real experience. Arian is not exactly running behind the Cowboys line’s of the mid 90′s.

Has Arian Foster ever sat out for a better contract… No
Has Arian Foster scored the MOST TDs in the league over the last 3 years… Yes.

Product of system or not, he’s more productive, scores twice as much, costs half as much, and is a WAY better teammate. I’ll take Arian everyday and definitely twice on Sunday.

Foster is a product of the other better players around him. He’d be invisible in TN.

Switch the two around. CJ2k would then be able to show you just how good he can be. In another two years foster will = Michael turner and CJ2K will still be hitting home runs.

Last 3 years

Arian 40 TDs
CJ 20 TDs

Nuff said.

Oh and Arian base salary for 2013 is $5.25MM vs CJ base salary for 2013 $10MM

Look it up.

He also isn’t even a threat in the passing game like he used to be. All he has on CJ is being 10 months younger. I’m not impressed at all.

Also, half the money? Foster is making only 1.5 Million less a year than CJ.

He’s lazy, he’s a primadonna, as soon as he got his money he had the worst season of his career. He’s not a patient runner, he tries to hit a homerun every at bat, and when things go bad, it’s everyone’s fault but his own. 2000yds or not, keep him away from my team. I’ll take Arian Foster for half the money thank you.

Take away a RB’s main strength skillwise and those stat’s and his stats aren’t that good?? WOW REALLY WHAT A REVELATION. His average TD is 28 yards in his career and he has 43 touchdowns..so let’s talk away all his good plays and he’s not good. Amazing.

Take out his longest run from each game and then look at this YPC.

He is not worth the money.

Until the expect the 22 carrys for 24 yards. Locker sucks. See the play that houston crippled him on. Thats wut he gets for starring at one wr n not having awareness. Titans shud build oline n draft n make a play for vick.

Chris Palmer really was not a good match for CJ, but I’m hopeful that Loggains/Moore or whoever the next OC is will focus more on the style that put Johnson on the map to begin with. The Titans knew the pros and cons of Johnson’s game when they gave him the contract, and IMO his game hasn’t changed. And despite what his detractors say, he didn’t “lay down” after he got his money, either.

Chris Johnson is the face of the franchise. Serioulsy, do people still think Jake Locker is a franchise QB? I am not saying Jake Locker cannot become a franchise quarterback but he is not there yet.

Plus the guy is never injured, which says a lot with his frame. They need to upgrade both lines & get Britt back on track & I think they could surprise some people next year.

First, he’s not that good. Second, given both the $120M cap and the new offensive philosophy around the league, running backs aren’t that important.
