David Johnson

[Arizona_Sting]

24 yards against the Panthers?

And still ended up with over 100 total yards. That's what differentiates him from the other elite RB's in the NFL. He can have an off game (1st one this year, really) and still get his.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Or THE top RB in the league.

Him and Elliott are in a league of their own. 1A 1B.

Just wanted to add Leveon Bell. Guy makes just as many high light plays.

True

Back on DJ, Seattle has a tough task for many years to come in slowing him down. My hope is Rawls can come back healthy and become one of those 3.

When you fall behind by 24 in the first half you're not going to see much of a running game.

I like how you conviently left out the 84 yards receiving also.

Or are you just suggesting he's not very good?

He's disappeared recently. Considering the #s we're used to seeing from him. Not sure what's going on over there at the ketchup bottle

True, but maybe with Big Ben back his numbers will be back to form.

You would've thought while Landry was in there Bell would've been the OFFENSE? I didn't watch the gsmes maybe everyone was stacking the box? Big Jen was back last week and Bell only had 32 yards on 14 carries. I'm sure this is temporary unless Bell has some injury we don't know about?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

If you want to sound dumb, try and argue Johnson isn't the best all around back in football.

My boner has yet to subside from when he fell to me at 8 and 9 in two PPR fantasy drafts

You might be right. I don't watch many Steelers games either so they could have stacked the box. I'll chalk up last week as the offense and Ben were rusty trying to get back their timing back.

Nope. Dude is excellent. He did get good passing yards against us

Elliot runs behind a MUCH better offensive line.

 

[PDay8810]

Funny thread.
I mean....rating Elliott less cause he has better players around him. Reminds me of the 90's and another Dallas RB. No problem....Dallas fans remain good with their guy

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Quit getting butthurt. RB's other than Elliott can be great too.

Maybe I was referring to Gurley but nice assumption you made there. My point is there have been a few rbs that have looked really good early in their career.

I said this before the year started and got pounded for it.

I think you could rate Elliott, Johnson & Bell as the top 3 in any order in terms of a pure running back, but Johnson is the best all around back of the bunch. If he is not getting his on the ground, he is getting it in the air. It's hard to top his speed, power, quickness, vision and hands. Not to mention his character off the field.

Cards got lucky with this guy.

Our guy can catch a football pretty darn well too when called upon and just might be the best blocking RB in football already.

no Scooby....not buy a bunch, not at all

Yup that Seattle game was insane. He wasn't super efficient(not many backs are vs them) but he was doing it all. I think at one point he was lining up at receiver at got 4 straight balls thrown to him lol.

Hopefully he doesn't let me down vs San Fran this week!

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

I think Gurley is getting the shaft for playing on a shitty team.

Reread. Never said that.

okay and I'm still not sure he's the best of the bunch unless you're pulling the Barry Sanders argument..... Johnson plays on a lesser team....which for you, is entirely possible I suppose
