Matt Barkley to the Texans

Chris Johnson? Really? Lol

1000+ yrd rusher every year he's been in the league

[Qwiz]

Matt Barkley to the Texans

In his dreams

[Qwiz]

1000+ yrd rusher every year he's been in the league

Being the major headache he is to the team and with major effort questions, I don't know. Good for him that he racked up 1,000 every year but the guy scored 6 touchdowns this year and 4 last year on a run-heavy team. Not to mention that 2,000 yard season he had was a once-in-a-lifetime thing and everyone labeled him the best back in football because of it...eh we'll see how he does this year.

Very durable, plays every game, averages over 4.0 yards a carry every year, 1000yrd back every year, no other back in the league can say that(I don't think any other rb can)

Arian Foster, for one. Has only missed two more games than Johnson since he became a starter, has been a 1,000 yard back every year, averages over 4.0 a carry, and actually scores TDs as well.

Johnson is better than Foster though.

[ryano]

LOL @ Posluszny and Uche Nwaneri costing Jax almost $14 million.  MJD is the only player on that team worth it.

He didn't do it his rookie year in 09, foster had 257yrds not even close to Johnson's 1,228yrd rookie yr

[Qwiz]

Johnson is better than Foster though.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Oh wait, were you serious?

[ryano]

Johnson is better than Foster though.

 

Um......no.  That's ridiculous, but coming from the Bob Sanders HOF committee.........

[Qwiz]

He didn't do it his rookie year in 09

He wasn't the starter in '09.

[Qwiz]

I've never even heard of Uche Nwaneri lol.

[Dustin]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Arian Foster averaged 4.1 yards per carry behind one of the best O-lines in the league. Johnson averaged 4.5 behind a mediocre O-line. Johnson is better, but not by much.

[Dustin]

Um......no.  That's ridiculous, but coming from the Bob Sanders HOF committee.........

 

It's actually not. Foster was the most overrated RB in the league this year

[Qwiz]

Arian Foster averaged 4.1 yards per carry behind one of the best O-lines in the league. Johnson averaged 4.5 behing a mediocre O-line. Johnson is better, but not by much.

The Titans have an o-line oriented head coach and Johnson is on a run-heavy team. Foster has averaged 4.8, 4.9, 4.4, and 4.1 respectively, with 2012 being the year that the right side of his o-line was downgraded/depleted. Foster also has scored 44 TDs, the same as Johnson, despite not becoming a starter until 2010. Johnson came into the league in '08 and has scored only 10 TDs in the last two seasons. Foster? 25.

[ryano]

I guarantee you that 75% of GM's would take Foster over Johnson.

[HtownColt]

He wasn't the starter in '09.

I know, Then he doesn't fit the description of, durable, average over 4.0 yards and 1000+ yard back every year he has been in the league. Chris Johnson is the only one

[BOTT]

Johnson is better than Foster though.

MJD is better than both

[Nobody]

Arian Foster, for one. Has only missed two more games than Johnson since he became a starter, has been a 1,000 yard back every year, averages over 4.0 a carry, and actually scores TDs as well.

What was AF's ypc this last season? He was at 3.9 for a while.

[Qwiz]

Foster has missed 3 games. THREE. Johnson has missed one. ONE. I don't see much of a difference. We are going by the runningbacks being actual starters, it's only fair. Foster is very durable and is a better back than Johnson. He has also averaged over 4.0, even the one season he wasn't a starter in the league.

[Nobody]

MJD is better than both

If MJD played us every week he'd be better than Barry Sanders.

[Qwiz]

What was AF's ypc this last season? He was at 3.9 for a while.

4.1

[Qwiz]

MJD is better than both

Only against the Colts.

[Dustin]

The Titans have an o-line oriented head coach and Johnson is on a run-heavy team.

 

The Texans aren't? Foster carrid the ball over 60+ more times than Johnson did.

 

 

 

 Foster has averaged 4.8, 4.9, 4.4, and 4.1 respectively.

 

Cool. He was good in 2010, solid in 2011 and mediocre in 2012.

 

 

 

with 2012 being the year that the right side of his o-line was downgraded/depleted.

 

The Texans O-line still had 3 pro bowlers.

 

 

 

 

 Foster also has scored 44 TDs, the same as Johnson, despite not becoming a starter until 2010. Johnson came into the league in '08 and has scored only 10 TDs in the last two seasons. Foster? 25.

 

Foster is a better goal-line runner, I'll give him that, but TDs are situational. Welker had more TDs than Calvin Johnson, but you wouldn't say Welker is better than Johnson would you?

 

Last season Johnson was a better receiver and runner than Foster was. Foster had him beat in goal line running and pass blocking though. CJ2K is better, but again, not by much.

[Qwiz]

I guarantee you that 75% of GM's would take Foster over Johnson.

I agree.

[Dustin]

MJD is better than both

 

No argument from me.

Johnson has 0 receiving TDs the past two years. Foster has 6.

It's not Chris Johnson's fault Foster wasn't the starter his rookie year, Chris Johnson is the only back that fits that criteria above

[NY_Colts]

I guarantee you that 75% of GM's would take Foster over Johnson.

I think your being too generous to CJ..... I think 98% would rather Foster..... Maybee they Jets rather have CJ so he could play QB

[Qwiz]

Foster had 217 receiving yards this year, Johnson 232. Foster had 617 receiving yards last year, Johnson had 418. Yet he's a better receiver. Right...

[Nobody]

I guarantee you that 75% of GM's would take Foster over Johnson.

Only GMs with ZBS teams. He's a one-cut back who lacks top end speed. Wouldn't be good on our team.

[Dustin]

Johnson has 0 receiving TDs the past two years. Foster has 6.

 

 

You're first mistake was judging how good they are by TDs. They're running backs, not QBs. Johnson averaged more Yards per reception than Foster did last season.

[Qwiz]

It's not Chris Johnson's fault Foster wasn't the starter his rookie year, Chris Johnson is the only back that fits that criteria above

It's like banging your head against the wall talking to you guys. It's not Foster's fault he wasn't the starter and went undrafted while CJ was drafted and hailed as one of the best RBs of all time after a single 2,000 yard season. He won't be seeing that number ever again.

[Qwiz]

Foster has speed, believe me.

TDs help teams win games. That explains why the Texans went to the playoffs and won and the Titans didn't, especially with their team relying on the running game to take them places.
