I think some people are missing the point. I'm not sure how many people who are high on CJ are even of the believe he'll be an elite RB this season. What a lot of us are trying to get across is he looks to be a very good NFL RB, as well as a top FF RB (say in the range of top-6 to top-10 eventually). Yeah, I think he could become a top-5 guy, but I'm willing to wait & see. A lot of that will depend on his situation.
The 5'11/197 - 205 thing doesn't bother at all. None, whatsoever. Not with his skill set. If CJ was as light as Warrick Dunn, then I'd be willing to go by previous history. Defintiely not in this case, tho. CJ will blow Dunn/Garner's career out of the water, IMO. That said, give him time. He's just a rookie, still learning the ropes...& the Titans haven't even begun to scratch the surface as far as the different ways to use him.

So you have a graduate education in neuroscience? If you just have a B.S. that is irrelevant. You have not done any real studies, written papers, etc. However I have done this because I have gone to graduate school with multiple degrees, Biomedical Engineering/Biochemistry, God I hate pulling out the degree card. If you have attempted higher education you would know this is not a take, but rather simple fact. I know your undergraduate professors did not teach you this because quite simple you did not need to know. As someone who has taught this though I can promise you that you are wrong, all proper and well done scientific method is based on this golden rule.
After weeks one and two you're saying how he's done better than you thought, then after week 3 you're saying how he was who you thought he was. You're already comparing careers based on a very small samples. You're ignoring how successful he's been compared to rookie RBs. You're saying other rookie RBs won't be in RBBC but they fall under the same circumstances that CJ has that led you to say he will be RBBC (looking at last three games, being in RBBC). Your BMI shtick deserves to be in a 5th grade science paper.Suggestions for you:1) Consider larger samples. Don't read too much into single games. For that matter, sets of three games. I doubt you will do this however, because you love to look at small samples and make judgments, ie... (paraphrasing) "of the 4 backs that have the same BMI as CJ, they failed to be more than a RBBC. Therefore, so will CJ.2) Learn about causation vs. correlation. ie... (paraphrasing) "of the 4 backs that have the same BMI as CJ, they failed to be more than a RBBC. Therefore, so will CJ.There is a lot wrong with this.

Along with that, even if they were accurate at the time, weight can change so much.I'm about 75% the weight of CJ, and very active (although clearly not as much as him). My weight can be +/-5 throughout the month, easily. Depends on what I ate the day before, and a lot more. I imagine that CJ weighing more, eating more, and exercising more, his weight is varying a lot. The data here is flawed, the conclusions by themselves (not counting flawed data) are flawed as well. A lot is wrong here.And EBF, I do enjoy how you say "time will tell if I'm right". I think this sums up part of your biggest problems -- data mining/hindsight bias, drawing conclusions from small data sets, and assuming that 'if it happened, it was definitely going to happen/people could guess it would happen'. Time will tell if you happened to be on the right side of CJ by chance, is probably more like it. Anything can happen in someone's career -- he could be primed for one of the best. If he gets a serious injury, I'm sure you'll be the first to say "I told ya so". And I most definitely wouldn't put it past you to ignore Ronnie Brown's injury-laden career, Chris Perry and many others who were the right BMI but couldn't hold up in the NFL.

I have a masters degree and I agree 100%. The majority of those people remain in academia because they are afraid of the real world. I would say 80-90% of those people are socially handicapped.
