Its nothing CJ did or didn't do. It's the decline of Manning, the not so good, not so healthy line which must function perfectly for a zone blocking scheme like Kubiak's to function, it's the open competition for the job, it's the presence of a high draft pick at RB who only lost the job due to injuries last season. That and CJ is not an exceedingly special talent, he's good at almost everything, not great at anything. .which means he's replaceable.
Ridley, Stacy, Powell for starters. Geno Smith is another. And then there's always the amount of time Ivory spends on the trainers table
I agree on Powell..apparently... the Jets do not. He's still in the team, still being paid. .he's still going to touch the ball. And Ivory is still knicked up enough to effect his production, even if he's on the field. ..which also brings in the other guys
Ball sucked yes. .for two reasons, must importantly the appendectomy that left him out of shape and weak coming in. 2, the Donkeys ran a completely different offense in the first four games of 2014, than they did in 2013 when he and Moreno did just fine. They featured a two tight set, which brought everything into the middle of the field, and that pass blocking oline they had want good enough to blow holes through it. After the loss to the Seahawks, they abandoned that base set, went back to three wide, and wouldn't you know it, Ball gets hurt before getting a chance in it. He comes back late, (which was way too early we learned after the fact) reinjures the same injury after getting what, 2-3 touches?

That was the problem, the qb situation. Its hard for them to run more when the team is always punting. Speaking of Spiller, dare overlook him this year he's not playing with FJac and EJ now. And he WILL get scores.
