He has been our best most consistent CB in a long time.

I bet Schwartz will turn this around. Take this negative energy thing and make it into a vendetta against Chicago. If not then it will get worse. If he loses the team then he’s done as a coach and I think he is too good to let that happen.

He dove for that pass on the sidelines a few weeks ago that hurt his shoulder which was all out

He played with said hurt shoulder and seems to have a rep for playing hurt

He had like 4 targets against the Jets and didn’t cry at all like any other receiver would have even though Burleson had a stellar day and the media went through all their “Revis Island” bullcrap again.

He is an elite WR who has every reason in the world to try all out and be the biggest fish in a small pond otherwise if he slacks off at all on a bad team like this he has no chance at all of ever becoming a pro bowl or hall of fame receiver

By your definition, Barry Sanders wouldn’t be particularly “passionate” either

When they throw the ball high to him, he makes the play or at least lays out trying…when he is under-thrown or not on the same page as the QB, he looks embarrassed but he doesn’t throw anyone under the bus for it.

I just think he is a guy like Barry Sanders a little bit who has otherworldly talent, apparently has great work ethic, and plays a position that allows him to shine a lot, but also “disappear” if the ball doesn’t come his way or the environment is such that the opponent takes him out of the game.

As far as leadership skills go, he doesn’t appear to be among the league leaders at the WR position, but it could be a whole lot worse at that position…

and obviously watching every other week on TV, I can’t agree. When you’re there, you can see the coverage in the secondary much better. CJ gets coverage rolled to his side of the field on virtually every play and when they don’t there’s a good chance that the ball is coming his way. To say that he hasn’t imposed his will on anyone is kind of crazy. There’s not much a WR can do except go out and run great routes and hope the ball gets thrown his way. I agree that he needs to be looked for more often, even if he is covered, but QB’s are taught to throw to the open/hot receiver. CJ is always in the game, always running his routes. If you want him to act out, and act like an idiot like other WR’s in this league, that’s your opinion. I for one, am happy that we don’t have a WR that has to put up the first down sign after every caught ball. We’re jus going to continue to disagree I’m sure, but I did want to put in my thoughts.
