for not being a mute and having a little fun is pretty ridiculous. I mean, it’s not like he’s drag racing Ferari’s illegally or anything.

CJ is certainly confident in his abilities but he hasn’t gotten in a lick of trouble or upset a single teammate or opponent, so where’s the beef?

He really seems to be focused a lot more on personal accomplishments than team, if you go by his comments earlier this offseason.

because he was joking around on twitter with his teammates? also, please describe a situation where a running back’s personal accomplishments can NOT be helpful to the team.

Plus, the guy cried and whined about not being named rookie of the year. He is a diva – but he’s also got the skills to back it up. Jake’s not saying he’s going to flame out, he’s saying that he might flame out if he keeps up his whiny diva act. We prefer Steve for obvious reasons – but another part of it is – someone asked Slaton what his favorite TD dance was – his answer was "handing the ball to the referee."

so chris johnson has some swagger and thinks he was the best rookie on offense last year. so slaton is boring. what do any of these things have to do with on field performance? zero. that’s why his whole post was stupid.

Also – who led the AFC in total yards from scrimmage? Steve Slaton. Did he even utter so much as a PEEP about not being named ROY – no, but he sure could make a good case.

also, who did slaton have to split carries with? no one. if CJ had only had some has been like ahman green to fight over carries with, his stats would have been much, much higher. he even tied slaton for tds even though every time the titans sniffed the goal line lendale got the ball. slaton never made a peep about offensive rookie of the year because no one else did either— not a single vote.

So, you guys will now all get upset with your internet bravado – but Jake wasn’t saying exactly what you think he’s saying… and CJ is kind of a diva, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as long as he continues to back it up on the field.

we know exactly what his post was saying. he was trying to equate a few playful twitters and some flashy celebrations with “being a head case” and “narcissism” and suggested that somehow all that nonsense might affect his career on the field. stupid.

as a side note, does anybody want to list some super talented RB’s that have littered the NFL with their failed careers because they “couldn’t hold it together”? bottom line, talent is pretty much all it takes at RB. that’s why RB is easily the single most successful rookie position on the field.

I mean, what Jake said is far, far less ridiculous than you guys calling the Texans "Andre Johnson" because you think it’s a one-man team.

ok that’s fair. the texans probably are more like a 5 man team.

maybe sometimes I’ll mix it up and call you “Owen Daniels”. Happy?

His twitters have nothing to do with anything. His whining about the ROY – again – is what I’m talking about. It’s diva behavior. Is he a full blown diva? Not yet. He’s young and I think he’ll mature because there’s only so much that Jeff Fisher will tolerate. Also don’t recall saying anything about his teammates having a problem with him. I’m sure they love the guy.

For the record – I loved the bongo thing. Thought it was hilarious. That doesn’t bother me.

Granted, that’s because we were keying on him – but he was held in check in both games and never broke anything longer than 16 yards. (Just for clarity’s sake)
