November 4, 200817 yr By years end it will be between Matt Ryan and Chris Johnson. Forte will be in the conversation, but I just don't see him winning it over the other 2.
November 4, 200817 yr By years end it will be between Matt Ryan and Chris Johnson. Forte will be in the conversation, but I just don't see him winning it over the other 2. I wonder how the loss of Orton will affect Forte. I think its between Johnson and Ryan right now. Forte is still close enough to make a run to the top with a strong finish. If Ryan continues to play the way he has thus far and the Falcons stay in the playoff hunt until the end, then he'll be the winner. If the Falcons falter and/or his play drops, then I think Johnson is the guy. Johnson may win it anyway if he ends up leading the AFC in rushing and scores double digit TD's.
November 5, 200817 yr Between Matt Ryan and Chris Johnson for me. Both are playing MVPs instead of rookies.
November 5, 200817 yr I think as of right now it has to be Chris Johnson. He plays a significant role for his team and IMO the Titans would not be undefeated right now without him. In no way could Lendale White get the job done by himself if he was the lone back in Tennessee. However, having Johnson back there opens up things for White and the whole offense that used to not be there. Ryan, Forte, Slaton, and Jackson have all played major roles for their teams as well, and have compiled solid rookie seasons, but IMO Johnson has the edge.
November 5, 200817 yr I know a lot do not get Titans coverage like I do, but Johnson is a playa. Yesterday on First Take, he also said he could beat Bolt in the 40 yard dash and it would be a close race in the 100. :lol: Bolt is crazy enough to arrange something.
November 5, 200817 yr Johnson has to be the ROY frontrunner. He is the leading rusher for an undefeated team with a qb that has less than 5 td's
November 6, 200817 yr I know a lot do not get Titans coverage like I do, but Johnson is a playa. Yesterday on First Take, he also said he could beat Bolt in the 40 yard dash and it would be a close race in the 100. :lol: Bolt is crazy enough to arrange something. I'd like to see that race. I'm skeptical of Johnson's chances, but I'd be curious to see how it played out.
November 6, 200817 yr I'd like to see that race. I'm skeptical of Johnson's chances, but I'd be curious to see how it played out. For those that do not know, Johnson was timed as the fastest ever 40 yard dash at the NFL combine. You know Bolt would be up for the race. He cracks me up.
November 6, 200817 yr I'm going with Chris Johnson. I think hes allowed the Titans to be so successful without much of a passing game. Playing on an undefeated team, I give him the nod. Matt Ryan and Joe Forte are not far behind.
November 6, 200817 yr For those that do not know, Johnson was timed as the fastest ever 40 yard dash at the NFL combine. You know Bolt would be up for the race. He cracks me up. 4.24 to be exact...like I said, I'd be a curious observer if this actually happened. But, I'd certainly have to bet on the guy who set a world record by jogging the last quarter of the race. Bolt is a real character. I would love to see him try to play WR in the NFL. He would be an awesome specialty player if he could learn to catch and use his size. Of course, finding a QB with the arm to keep up with him might be a problem. :lol:
November 6, 200817 yr To be honest, I think Chris Johnson could get some consideration for league MVP if he keeps it up for 8 more games. He's on pace for 1758 total yards and 12 TD. The impact he's had on the Titans offense cannot be overlooked. There's no way any WR the Titans could have picked at #24 could have positively impacted their team the way Johnson has. There are a lot of "experts" that should give Fisher and company a little credit for knowing and doing what's best for their team rather than listening to public opinion and ESPN experts.
November 6, 200817 yr Chris Johnson would now be my favorite for ROY. He gives the Titans a real good 1-2 punch with Lendale White. And he is helping my fantasy team out :lol:
