Even with this hamstring injury, I'd still take him over McFadden or Dunbar.

Seriously. The homer crowd will look for anything to try to justify this team's RB situation.

I'm concerned about our own RB but these are the guys the organization wants here. As for Johnson, if Dallas was interested they would have brought him in at the get go. Cowboys had no desire to get him. Myself never cared much for him, I think the talent is there but also think the guy is a headcase

Especially when those that wanted him also said we need a power back which CJ2K is not.

I hate our RB's and thought we screwed up bigtime by not signing Demarco! I think it might be our undoing actually this year. But CJ is not the answer either. He sucks now.

September 13 is still nineteen freaking days away. Can't the roar of the first game of the season get here fast enough to drown out all this moaning and groaning? My kingdom for a time machine! Or something like that...

There's nothing enticing about Johnson to me. Locker room issues in Tennessee, bullet in his shoulder in the spring, and a wholotta nothing the past several years.

Imagine my lack of surprise that he pulled his hamstrings.

Give me a guy like McFadden all day. At least he has a good attitude.

Tissue paper hammies

I think you have the wrong guy. He's missed less games in his career than any running back in the entire NFL.

111 out 112 games is pretty amazing.

Having said that, I wasn't really pushing for us to get him at this stage in his career.

I'm not the biggest fan of Chris Johnson's, but when you compare him to the guy we did sign? He looks like Eric Dickerson! And in terms of reliability? He looks like Jim Brown!

Who wouldn't have a "good attitude" when you get paid for not doing anything?

If Johnson has done "a wholotta nothing", what does that make the monumentally less that McFragile has done?

And do you honestly want to criticize Johnson for a pulled hamstring and then praise McFragile? Honestly?

Credit to you for at least having your facts straight, unlike others.
