    Curious to see what percentage of NFL runningbacks get hit at or behind LOS that many times.

    I would never say CJ just flat out isn't trying. But I definitely can't agree he's trying "his hardest". You can see it plain as day in some of his runs. His problem seems to be he's too easily discouraged. He comes out of the gate ready to blow up for 200+ yards and then when he gets stuffed a few times in a row it's like he pretty much shuts down.

    Now, you can argue that he should be discouraged after repeatedly running into a wall of defenders. But to that I say, and I'm going to be a broken record here, when you hold out for "playmaker" money you're expected to make something happen. At least every once in awhile. You can't just throw your hands up and go "Oh well, Oline sucks... whaddaya expect me to do?".

    TLDR; He's supposed to be our biggest playmaker and we're paying him as such. He needs to MAKE something happen every once in awhile. 4 yards is simply inexcusable.

    Learning to "take what you can" is a very simple concept to grasp. And he's had over a year to work on it and he still can't/won't do it. That right there is proof enough to me that he isn't "trying his hardest".

    This is 100% speculation on my part, but I honestly think the problem is he's too worried about proving to everyone that he's still "CJ2K" and not worried enough about simply doing his job and helping his team win football games. That's the only thing I can think of that explains why he keeps trying to hit the homerun every time and why he is still continually talking about how freaking fast he is.

    I assume you mean starting RB's. In that case, it's around 3.1%

    I wasn't paying attention to Griffin, but Gronk and Aaron are two top 5 TEs in the league, Gronk being the #1 TE.

    This forum is basically reaching the levels of the dolphins forum of negativity. Pathetic.

    Wanting CJ injured...really? Whose gonna run?

    Everyone will be on his dick if he has a big game next week anyway. These threads are dated.
