cribdog 0 Posted September 10, 2012 The sky is falling! He sucks! The sky is falling! One thing I've learned in 20+ years of FF is that week 1 is not worth getting all worked up over. Some guys have bad games and everyone says he's terrible, and some guys have good games and everyone thinks they are the second coming. CJ will have a much better year than last year, take it to the bank. Will he hit 2K yards ever again???? Highly doubtful, but has anyone ever done it twice? Barring injury, he will be a top 10 back. Do not trade him, and if his owner is panicking, trade for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squintz82 45 Posted September 10, 2012 Buying low on him as a RB2. I already have Rice, and the CJ owner is in full panic mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ampheels 3 Posted September 10, 2012 have him in 2 leagues (picks 8 & 9) and was happy with him falling to me...think he's a great buy low candidate right now for those who don't own him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snatchem 0 Posted September 10, 2012 CJ will be just fine... he caught 6 passes and they only let him run 11 times. NE in reality has the best run defense now... sure he could have done better and he will. You guys are fools if you are dumping him now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seadog54 20 Posted September 10, 2012 Yawn.... same excuses for him last year for the first.... what? 8 games? LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 360 Posted September 10, 2012 I'm going to say it again and again and again. His yards per average have dropped from 5.4 to 4.3 to 4.0 the past 3 years. He also looked a lot heavier on film. This is NOT the same player as the 2,000 yard guys we saw a few years back. Don't forget- the 2,000 yard season was fabricated by a coach and a team with nothing else going for them. Down the stretch,they game planned with the sole intention of reaching that 2,000 yard milestone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheesesteaks 0 Posted September 10, 2012 I drafted CJ at 11 since I thought the value was worth it at that point. Yes 4yds rushing is a concern, but still only 1 week. I will wait 2 more games (@SD, DET) to see how he does before thinking about trading him. No use trading him now when his value is so low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not trade him, and if his owner is panicking, trade for him. I am a Titans fan. I have watched every single carry CJ has ever had. With that in mind... 1. This isn't just a week 1 thing. He sucked all last year. 2. If you actually WATCH him, it is clear that he isn't the same guy. He tries to cut everything back. He refuses to lower his shoulder and push for the tough yard. He doesn't hit the hole with authority, he dances. And worst of all... he regularly goes down untouched. Just stops running and assumes the fetal position. and from the rumors I'm hearing on local sports radio, the rest of the team is beginning to grumble. If you ask me, he's in danger of being demoted in the near future. Oh, and aside from all that, our offensive line is focking PUTRID. CJ ain't gonna be top 10 this season. MAYBE in a ppr he'll sneak into the 10 spot, but only because there are so few good backs out there. And you'll notice, reynaud took a lot of his work as a receiver already. And Ringer was out with an infection. The writing, imho, is on the wall. CJ is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got him on the cheap last year in a trade and he still sucked. I stayed away this year... but he is not a type of consistent RB you need in FF. He'll have a couple of good weeks that will make you keep starting him.. and then 8+ crappy weeks where you're pulling out your hair. goodluck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 13, 2012 I'll offer you a bag of fritos. Not the big bag, the one from the vending machine. On gotitans.com, we have a thread listing things longer than CJ's run total today. So far... 1. The world's longest measured dump. 2. The watermelon seed spitting record (4 times longer). 3. A giraffe lying down. We are recommending that the Titans cut CJ and sign a giraffe. If it holds the ball in its mouth, and falls forward, then we will have a much improved running game. Could not stop laughing for a good 30 seconds... Nice work Sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will wait 2 more games (@SD, DET) to see how he does before thinking about trading him. No use trading him now when his value is so low. I'm not saying that's a bad strategy but as a CJ2K owner last year his value became worse the more bad games he piled up. He may be worth more now just on name recognition alone. Thankfully I stayed away this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macho tony 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Damn, where was this research before the season? I thought he was a homerun in late 1st round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
