Who does the defense key on when Peterson is in the backfield? (and he's in the backfield one heck of a lot more than CJ)
Who does the defense key on when Megatron is on the field?
Who does the defense key on when AJ Green is on the field?
Who does the defense key on when McCoy is on the field?
With a rookie QB and a below average O-line who did the defense key on when FJ was on the field?
Spiller either can or can't get it done. To this point in his career he has not been able to sustain himself for a 16 game season. Until he does his potential is unrealized.
My guess is Belichick has been more worried about Jackson than Spiller. FJ is the guy who is always there, always fighting forward. CJ is electric at times, but, at times he disappears. This would be a great ??? to get answered truthfully, too bad it'll never happen.
Yes, we have the power. Surprised you didn't know this.
And he's never been THE guy for 16 games either.
Finally, I'll leave you with this...for CJ's NFL career to this point...at crunch time who would you rather have on the field, CJ or FJ? If you say CJ I have to question how much football you've watched. The #9 pick (not his fault) has not beaten out the UDFA. Father Time may finally be catching up to JF, but...so far I want Jackson in the backfield with the game on the line. He's simply been a more complete player.
