    Legit question:

    Two years ago, when the Titans released Blount, you'd be ran off the forum if you said he would be a better RB than CJ.

    So this one is simple. Blount is younger. He's cheaper. If given a chance, would you trade CJ for Blount straight up today?

    Nope. Similar rushing numbers,but he has hands of stone catching the ball. CJ has much more upside.

    If we were doing a salary purge then I'd think about it.

    I'd be willing to bet Blount would be stuffed behind our line even more than CJ is. Blount is only good at breaking tackles when has a chance to pick up steam.

    Catch? Speed? Are we talking about the same Lagarrette Blount? The one who plays for Tampa?

    He meant they can get a speed back for the difference in Blount and CJ's contracts.

    No question.




    also find it funny anytime someone mentions CJ's "hands". Guy drops more screen passes than anyone.

    Unless Blount starts to avoid getting big hits on him, he won't last that long in the league compared to CJ. CJ is somewhat smart about avoiding the big hits. I know it's a draw back from getting extra yardage, but he will actually last the amount of years on his contract or longer (knock on wood). Look how WR's such as Jerry Rice last as long as he did. People like Ray Lewis are lucky not getting a real serious injury, plus he is a beast anyways.
