A Call to Arms for Titans Fans: Go Vote for Chris Johnson for the Pro Bowl

So I get these PR releases from the NFL a few times a week about different things. Today I got one that really disturbed me- It was the voting results to date for the Pro Bowl, and Cedric Benson is the leading vote getter among AFC running backs. Now this is not meant to be a shot at Benson who is having a very nice year, but come on. Johnson has 232 more rushing yards, 196 more receiving yards and 3 more total touchdowns.
So I have taken it upon myself to make sure that CJ is the starting running back for the AFC in the Pro Bowl. Of course I need your help. You can vote as many times as you want, and you don't even have to vote for all of the positions to submit you ballot. All you have to do is click here, click on the tab that says running backs and check CJ's name. It will take you about 10 seconds. Do it 10 times before you go to bed tonight.
CJ is in line for one of the best seasons in NFL history by a running back. Let's make sure he gets rewarded by starting the Pro Bowl.

I still go Moss
then Wayne, Fitz and Johnson are tied… Johnson is the superior athelete, but he has ugly drops sometimes that the other two never have.

Nice list
Because there isn’t a good way to rank them objectively, I chose yards per game over their careers. It goes:
Moss (78.73), Fitzgerald (78.59), Johnson (75.57), and Wayne (67.22). Fitzgerald has the fewest number of games, Moss the most.
Touchdowns per game goes Moss (0.79), Fitzgerald (0.63), Wayne (0.45), Johnson (0.43).
At their respective combines (for whatever that’s worth), Moss ran a 4.25, Fitzgerald ran 4.48, Johnson ran 4.41, and Wayne ran 4.45 (which, after compiling these, I have come to realize how STUPID combine 40 times are).
Surprising that 3 of the 4 you listed are absolute A-1 class-acts. Imagine that! Hopefully the TO’s and Crabtrees of the world are paying attention….
That's not even a question.
AJ definitely deserves it.

CJ is third behind Benson and MJD. Around 140,000 votes behind Benson… doesn’t make sense.

It does make sense...
CJ plays for a team that was (until three weeks ago) on the worst losing streak imaginable and in a “small” market to boot.
People voting are either ignorant or stuffing the ballot for their guy… So, we just have to stuff the ballot more.
Although, starting the voting as early in the season as they do is idiotic anyway, even if the fan vote only counts for a third. It would make a lot more sense to start the voting somewhere between week 10 and 12 and then run it into the playoffs… Would make the ballot itself and the votes reflect who actually performed a lot better.
I'm just amaze at how bad Chicago looks
It seems they can’t develop talent anywhere, examples Benson, Orton, Culter, Grossman. All looked so much better anywhere but in Chi-town.

Why vote for CJ?
He won’t be able to play in it cause he will be busy playing football the following weekend.
