Booing Cj really?

He was too busy planning his holdout the end of last season.

 

When you demand to be paid like a top playmaker then you are expected to perform like one... People have a right to boo just like he had a right to risk the first quarter of the season to get playmaker money.... You get 30 mil people want results... running into line of scrimmage and falling down Chris Henry could do for 250k. He needs to know that he is held to a higher standard... because that is what he demanded.

 

He was getting booed because it was the second week in a row that he was absolutely failing to perform. His longest run was for 7 yards. Also, his combined total yardage for this season is LOWER than most top tier RBs yardage in a single game this season.


I know CJ is talented, and I know he will be crucial for this team for the next couple of years or so. But let's face the facts: By being selfish and refusing to even show up in camp he fell behind in our new offense and now the team is paying the price.

I'll be cheering just as loud as anybody when he gets back on his feet, but for now the fact of the matter is that his selfishness is hurting us. How much longer until teams realize they don't have to worry about him, and instead focus on our passing game? Will CJ be up to speed by then, or will we suffer more losses to teams we shouldn't be losing to?


And I'm sorry, but I lay the loss to the Jags completely at his feet. If he was in tune with the offense there's no reason that we don't win that game.

 

this thread wiped out my 'it sucks'

 

Indeed.

 

Frankly, he should be thankful he plays here... just imagine what life would be like for him if he played in New York, Philadelphia, Dallas... shall I go on..?

 

I was ready to High Five this until the last paragraph....

I do not lay the loss to the Hags totally on CJ...we were out of sync, Hassleback was not on the same page with Britt at all, and we basically ran down our D on a 90 degree day because we could not move the ball for the first 2.5 quarters of the game. Part of that was due to CJ not being ready, but there were many other issues as well.

These issues have started to resolve themselves faster than I was predicting (happy to admit I was wrong), which is why we were able to offset CJ's lack of readiness against the Ravens.

 

and worked for damn near free? come on now, legit posts only.

Everyone's blaming CJ for not getting to camp day 1 and working for pennies, but how about the Titans take some of the blame for not even offering him a contract until a week before the last preseason game??
