Chris Johnson....

Like I said, I think I'd be all for getting Kolb for a 2nd rounder if we could work it out. Still, I'm not super crazy about the guy. But his potential makes giving up a 2nd round pick more than fair in my mind.

I'm all for keeping CJ too. He's definitely not a guy you should ever want to trade. But if his contract talks go south and another team makes the right offer, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him traded. And assuming the price is right, I'd have absolutely zero problem with it.

 

True. But you said the entire offense was built around CJ. Not that he's the one opposing defenses gameplan for, which I agree with. I actually think the offense should've been built around CJ. He's such a unique talent. Yet we mostly call runs up the middle and other plays that pretty much any other decent back in the league could handle.

I don't think we'd necessarily see "wholesale changes" if CJ weren't here (although maybe I'm misinterpreting what you mean by that). I think we'd just plug in the next guy and for the most part keep doing the same thing we've been doing. Maybe then Britt would be the guy that defenses have to scheme for. I just don't see the whole castle crumbling down without CJ.

 

Yeah definitely. I'm on the same page with you here. I guess I just had a different definition of "wholesale changes" in my head than you were intending.

 

Not as terrible an idea as I had thought.

How many draft picks can we get for CJ?

Need a brand new team of players and coaches.

 

Exactly. CJ is just being wasted on this team anyway. Might as well get some value out of the guy to rebuild. He's going to be close to done by the time this team gets rebuilt to the point of being a legit SB contender anyway.

 

When I first saw this thread a few weeks ago I thought it was crazy talk... now im starting to consider it.
