15th January, 2010 — As we thought, way back when, Chris Johnson’s prospect of being League MVP were likely to be hampered by Quarterbacks getting the nod, and this was completely the case when the votes were counted and CJ had none.

However, he’s made up for it by being the only unanimous 2009 All-Pro selection. So well done to Chris Johnson. He had a great season; was entertaining to watch and his race to set records was enthralling to the end. As one of only 6 2,000 yard players, we’ll be hoping he can keep his form going. Something that eluded a lot of the others. But he’s young and he’s talented. If he hit 2000 yards next year, who’d be surprised if he didn’t get the MVP?

Good luck to him.

Like with Kevin Smith’s comments, you have love a confident player. The self-nicknamed “Dash” (apologies to DeAngelo Williams… or is it Jonathan Stewart?) has said his target is league MVP.

He was great last year, backed up by LenDale White, and rushed for over 1,200 yards. It was topped off by being voted the only rookie to the Pro Bowl… so he has some pedigree. It’s more that history is against him, it’s a whole load of quarterbacks. A position which will typically take the award. Not to mention that he’s a sophomore this year, and that has its own difficulties.
Still, he was fun to watch and hopefully will be again. So good luck to him trying.
