At Least Chris Johnson Cares About the MVP

"most valuable player" has to be a quarterback in the nfl to satisfy the definition of "most valuable".  30 touches per game? how many touches per game does manning have?  2500 yards? how many yards can manning account for? double that?  its just simple that a qb is more valuable than an rb.
   and by the way chris:  leave the self aggrandizing whining and blowing of your own horn to those of us in cyberspace who havent got an nfl field to showoff on.  let your work speak for itself. these awards are very subjective, and there are many people who think you should have gotten it.  they dont need you to tell them, in fact its rather classless.

It’d be cool if he went to Peyton’s house, stole th trophy and was running away, but Peyton hit him in the head at 20 yards with the 2008 MVP trophy. "Host SNL, boy… now, gimme back my statue."

hahaha, one of the all time greatest comments of all time ever. well done.

The award is MOST VALUABLE PLAYER….Im pretty sure Chris was putting up huge numbers when the Titans were 0-6….If Chris were to get hurt the Titans could easily plug in White or Ringer and get decent production and they still win close to the amount of games they won, if Peyton gets hurt and Curtis Painter has to start at QB for the Colts win maybe 3 games this year instead of 14. Pretty Sure that makes Peyton more valuable to his team.

 Nice to know Chris doesnt have a huge ego though. (Sense the sarcasm)

Just going on definition, I think Johnson will have more of a case with any Player of the Year awards that are given.  How valuable can a guy consider himself when his team does not even make the playoffs.

Id like to see a foot race between Chris and the Goober.

Someone should tell Johnson that Walter Payton is dead, and won the MVP before Johnson was born.

I think this blog post says a lot about the values of its author also ie., he does not recognize the true value of a player to his team.   If Johnson was so valuable with those monstrous stats how did the Titans miss the playoffs ?  It wasn’t until the Titans changed quarterbacks that they started to win and that says A LOT I think.  Having huge statistics does not mean your team is going to win and that is where true value is : in winning.

"The award is MOST VALUABLE PLAYER….Im pretty sure Chris was putting up huge numbers when the Titans were 0-6."He wasn’t. Just two games of over 100 total yards. Then, somehow, the touches went up, Johnson started gaining more yards and, lookit that, the Titans started winning.I never said I thought Johnson deserved the MVP. I think he deserved consideration, though, and I am stunned that he received no votes competing against Manning’s 14-game and Brees’ 15-game seasons, and Favre’s late swoon.And, honestly, I thought this was more funny than selfish.

Maybe he could go find his junior high english & grammar book instead.

His team was 0-7 at one point, right?  Did he influence the game vs New England in any positive way?  No.  Sorry, it was an amazing, record breaking season, but he didn’t make his team better.  Vince Young would have a better MVP case. 

Who has a better chance of winning – the Titans with Javon Ringer at running back, or the Colts with Curtis Painter at quarterback?

The Titans were 8-8 with Johnson.  Without him, they’re probably 6-10.  

The Colts were 14-2 with Manning.  Without him, they’re probably 4-12 (and that might be generous)

In football, you need 2 ingredients, a good quarterback and a good head coach.  Everything else is a detail.

Whatever. We all know Peyton is nothing without Pat McAfee.

(rimshot)

I totally agree.  I think it is an absolute SHAME that Chris Johnson did not win the MVP – much less not even get a vote.  He was obviously punished for being on a bad team…something of which he cannot control.  This guy had one of the best seasons in NFL HISTORY….does not that not warrant even consideration for the MVP.    Just like most other "awards" it looks like this one went down to yet another popularity contest.

Titans would have gotten similar production by plugging in LenDale White or Javon Ringer?  I want some of what you guys are smokin’.  Chris Johnson is an elite talent – he brought explosiveness to the Titans offense, and has actually made Kerry Collins and Vince Young look like viable NFL QBs.  For putting an 0-6 team on his shoulders and carrying them to 8-8, and in the playoff hunt until week 16, he deserves at least consideration.  Plug in Javon Ringer, and this is a 4-12 team (at best), and Jeff Fisher is coaching at USC next season, while the Titans are taking a chance on Sam Bradford in the draft.

Peyton was as good a choice as anyone – best offensive player on the best team (by record – apologies to San Diego) during the regular season.  Manning is so steady that he can just become a default option.  Johnson was the only player who did something for the record books – 2,000 yards rushing, yards from scrimmage record – but on a mediocre team.  In an otherwise "good, not great" field, no one’s going to argue that Manning shouldn’t have gotten the award over Brees, Rivers and Favre.

I just wonder how Johnson will respond once he hits the field.  He responded to last years ROY snub by putting up MVP numbers; barring injury, I don’t doubt he’ll have the rushing record by the end of next season.  But unless he marches the Titans to an AFC South crown, he’ll probably be watching Peyton take home another trophy.

Peyton deserved the award. Anyone who argues otherwise has no concept of football or simply has a bias against the guy. He is the most valuable player in the NFL this season and just in general- deal with it.

As for Johnson and his whining- the guy needs to GROW UP. Last year he cried about not getting offensive ROY and now this. Is he playing just to get awards or playing to try and win championships? He is the symbol of what is so wrong with sports these days. Go play tennis or golf if you only care about having your ego stroked. Man he is such an immature idiot. Bugs me

I will say it was surprising he didn’t get 1 single vote but then again, the voters grasped that the MVP shouldn’t be going to a player on an 8-8 team where that very player was there for the 8 losses. Who cares that he set the scrimmage yards record and ran for 2k? THERE IS AN AWARD FOR THAT AND HE WILL GET IT.

So many people have no concept that the MVP is not simply for the best offensive season because again, there is an award for that.

All those who think CJ should have won the MVP are clueless. Thank God you people do not vote.

First, I thought Johnson went to college?…He twitter post shows he has the writing skills of someone in 4th grade….

Second, MVP is about the best player not the best stats someone posts.

If I was given the choice of either having Manning at QB or CJ at runningback, I would take Manning with no hesitation.

he went to football, not college pencil neck

Its becasue Manning is white and can speak English…..
