Chris Johnson: The most exciting player in NFL

[BuffaloBlitz83]

This guy is having a monster year on a bad team. Usually losing teams, don't get as much great production in run game due to being behind early. Everytime this guy touches the ball, you get a legit feeling... he may break it 80 yards. It is going to be scary what he does to Poz and Co. when we play them.

He has broke long TD's for 57, 69, 91, 52, 89 already! He broke one yesterday for 80 yards again but it was overturned that he stepped out of bounds so it was only a 41 yard rush. This guy is insanely fast and good. Both receiving and running. Tenn got a hell of a RB. 959 rushing yards already.

I heard in an interview that if he gets 2000 rushing yards, he will buy all his starting lineman cadillacs. If he runs for 200 versus us, it can be a legit possibility.

I think it is AP, but a case can be made for Johnson.

Actually, the Vikings arguable have the top two players.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

i think AP is the better all around RB due to power and speed plus being better blocker, but CJ is a bigger game breaker due to speed. and he just more exciting to watch due to that homerun factor.

AP has game breaker speed too. And with pads on, its probably close. But, AP is one of the mosr powerful backs in the league too. Watching him lower his head to put the boom on a would-be tackling safety, then literally running him over, in route to a long TD..... it's a pretty exciting play.

I would probably put Johnson in second though.

You think CJ tops 200 yards versus Buffalo

In the first, or second half?

I this CJ and AP are premier players in the NFL. I posted this back when the season began:

I actually wasn't basing my opinion about Chris Johnson on the Steelers game. I know he wasn't too impressive.

My opinion on Johnson is just that "foresight." Adrian Peterson is clearly the best rusher in the NFL. Then, IMHO, there's two young RBs who are a step below Peterson: DeAngelo Williams and Chris Johnson. Probably a few others as well.

But as far as the AFC goes, I think Chris Johnson will be the most productive rusher of all, young or old.

On a side note, since we're discussing RBs -- Felix Jones is probably one of the most exciting players I've seen in a long time. I am anxious to see how he'll do this year (although I still hope the Cowboys crash and burn).

...
Anyways, after watching tonight's game, one thing is for sure: We have no chance against the Titans. Chris Johnson will be, IMO, the best RB in the AFC this year.

Peterson and Johnson are the two best running backs in the NFL, bar none. Michael Turner would likely be my 3rd choice.

[Mr. Pink]

MJD isn't too far behind Chris Johnson in ability, if at all.

A guy who's been really impressive in the AFC as well is Rashard Mendenhall.

As far as explosive guys in the NFL in general, DeSean Jackson is a fun guy to watch.

[Crisis]

desean jackson is fun to watch, but he's such a toolbag i really can't stand him... kind of ruins his aura for me i guess? guy seems like a total douche.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

This guy does it every week! Can he get 2,000!

[Block "O"]

whats with his involuntary head jerk thing he had going on in his press conference? CJ, you i-ight homie?

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Chris Johnson rolls on. Another Big Play 85 Yd TD. AP 1084 on 230 carries. CJ 1396 on 217 carries. CJ is the best RB in game right now! 2000 yard season.

the biggest reason why he's the best, instead of AD, is AD's fumbling problems.

[Ingtar33]

yeah.. AP fumbles a lot.

Johnson is amazing though. You have to love em both.. but right now if i was building a team i'd take johnson over peterson. But only because he's more careful with the football.
