Yea I have to concede hands to Reggie and its not really close. What I am really trying to say is Spiller can fool you and make you think he is Chris Johnsonfor a couple of plays and he can fool you and make you think he is Reggie Bush for a couple of plays where as Chris Johnson is never going to be running anyposts and Reggie Bush is never going to take a game over running through the middle. Spiller is a jack of all trades and not as specialized as the other twoand he has speed AND quickness.

hes going to be the rookie of the year if he stays healthy ... whoever drafts him (i would expect the skins eagles or giants just to piss me off) will begetting the most consistent NFL contributor in next years draft class ...
if im a GM and i have a need but i feel no one where im at is worth that slot at that position AND none of the dez bryants or golden tates are available, idraft spiller ... no questions asked case closed ...

What is the difference between Chris Johnson & CJ Spiller?
what makes some of you think that Spiller cant be a 1200 yd back in the league like Johnson is?
Spiller & Johnson's measurables are pretty comparable in terms of speed, hands, vert, bench
Johnson is about 5 lbs heavier than Spiller tho
but seriously why do some of you think that Spiller cant be Johnson in the league

depends on the team he goes to.
If he goes to the raiders, lions or chiefs he'll be a bust.

He is not as good a natural runner (vision, decisiveness, setting up blocks, pressuring the line). He cannot navigate the line of scrimmage andtraffic like Chris Johnson can. Spiller needs space to work, like Reggie Bush, but what separates him from Reggie is his stride is not as long and he can makequicker more decisive moves. So Spiller, physically, has the ability to run between the tackles but he has not shown it.

i get what you're saying. But Johnson became a much better runner once he got to the NFL & the Titans. In college he would try to bouncethe ball outside just as much as Spiller does now, soon as he got to the NFL. i guess something clicked or the RB coaches got through to him & that'sbeen a large reason for the discrepancy in Johnson's success & Reggie's lack of success as a traditional RB.
But i personally think Spiller will have an effect like Percy is having this year just as the RB position. He's going to be a beast on KR/PR & willprobably end up with about 700-900 yds rushing if he gets the carries.

I just think Spiller is just a burner, not a in between the tackles.
Get outside and run past everyone

THIS DUDE IS THE TRUTH.
Im just mad he stayed at clemson for 4 years, a RB's life is too short for that BS.

Yea you are 100% correct about Chris Johnson he definitely surprised me when he got into the league because he showed no hesitation turning into aNFL player. I do not think Spiller will ever have the instincts/vision Chris Johnson has because I do not think that is taught, but like I said physically hecan be a successful normal running back but we have to see if he develops that willingness to take it up the middle.

i'd have to disagree, i think CJ & CJ are about equal in terms of vision/instincts. but if Spiller takes what the RB coaches tell him& goes with it. i think he can be every bit as successful as Johnson has been. only thing that will determine that is himself.
but i really do htink he's gonna have a year about equal to what Percy is gonna end up with if he gets on a team with a decent OLine

Yea it is very hard to tell sometimes if a player just has bad habits and I am comparing Chris Johnson as I see him now to CJ from college. It is an unfaircomparison, however we have seen Chris Johnson make the transition. I was not privileged to watch much of Chris Johnson in college so he WAS probably a lotmore Spiller like and I am giving him to much credit. I will concede that as well because I just do not know.

Chris Johnson in college was not the accomplished RB.
he could do it all tho.
thats why he spent a yr & half at WR

Reggie has sure played like a bust so far THIS YEAR. But with that said, in-between. I still think CjJ needs to learn how togo in-between the tackles betterbut I would say he get it down with time.
