Why is everyone giving up on CJ2k?

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of fans on here are hoping for this...with each week passing it looks less and less promising that he will snap out of it.

He did have a decent game @ Cleveland...reach 100 yards, but still had his struggles...Pitt he started off with a great run that had me think maybe he was getting back to his old ways, but it started and ended with that first run..

I'd like CJ to rip off a 50+ dash to the end zone and get 120 yards on 17 carries, but I don't think it will happen this week.

He's only had 2 carries over 20 yards and none over 25..of course blocking is an issue, but CJ getting the bulk of the carries may be as well. That's not implying CJ is not the best back on the team, but that he isn't an every down back and shouldn't be depended on as such.

 

I don't think people are giving up on him. I think people are frustrated that he's sucking.

It's one thing to hope he gets better, but to completely deny that he's not performing on the field is stupid.

Look at the excuses made, and I can show you another RB or player that's facing the same issues.

Bad offensive line: McCoy/Forte

8 man fronts: Almost every elite RB in the NFL.

No practice: Anybody running back that's ever come back from an injury, or anybody that's ever gone through a holdout like Darelle Revis last year of DeSean Jackson this year.

You can't get better until you realize you need to get better. And he needs to do better. I'm sure if he does everybody will embrace him.

 

Also before someone says "We're ranked that bad because CJ is sucking" No. We were ranked 31st last year when he ran for 1400 yards and when he got 2000 yards we were only like 15th or so.

 

BeatADeadColt summed it up pretty well. Everyone is just frustrated he's not producing.

McCoy/Forte are perfect examples. It's not like CJ is running behind a high school offensive line. If he's the playmaker he claims, both McCoy and Forte shouldn't be averaging 2.5 more yards per carry than he is.

 

CJ really doesn't have an excuse or reason.He should be out there being the playmaker he was paid to be.Nothing has really changed except CJ himself.Its no longer the lines fault that doesn't cut it anymore.Something within CJ himself is causing these struggles and its affecting our team in the end.Maybe it was lack of prep,the holdout or not getting back to full strength but its time to see some results.After all he was just given a huge contract and he isn't earning it so far.CJ should be thankful that Hasselbeck has taken some of the pressure off of CJ by passing so well.

 

The thing thats really messed up is Matt Hasselbeck has been carrying this offense so far with solid passing every game.If we could get CJ back to being the dynamic back that he was the last couple seasons then our offense would be hard to beat because we would have a solid passing and running game.Either Matt's arm or CJ's legs are gonna beat the opposing defense.We would be hard to beat if we were firing on all cylinders but so far its mostly passing getting us by.

 

CJSideways needs to put his goldface N-S instead of prancing around E-W

CJ is a wussie and until he plays like he has a pair I really dont care what else the little guy does.

Playmaker my arse!

 

Do you think CJ really cares what a 21 year old econ student thinks of him?

Do you think CJ really cares what anybody besides his coaches and team thinks about his play?

The only people that seem to be upset about Titans fans criticizing CJ are CJ fans. It's a stupid thing to argue about.


P.S. those stats are are dumb excuse... There's no real way to measure an offensive line besides watching them, there are too many variables, and it's simply too subjective.
