Chris Johnson, the Titans' Mistake of the Decade: the $53-Million-Dollar man is worthless.

The Titans have a major problem: Chris Johnson. We gave this clown way too much money. He had one good season; he demanded far too much for his position, and he is unable to deliver.

The $53-Million Dollar man is worthless.

One pundit's analysis...

Running back Chris Johnson turned in another stinker of a game for the Titans at Atlanta, with 12 carries for 13 yards, and the Falcons earned a 23-17 win. The loss drops the Titans to 5-5, two games behind the Texans.

Let’s not mince words here: Johnson is horrible. We’re now 10 games into the season, and we’ve seen enough to say that it’s not just that Johnson is off to a slow start because of the lockout and his contract holdout. Johnson entered today’s game averaging 3.4 yards a carry, which ranked him dead last among the 34 NFL players with at least 80 rushing attempts this season. Now his average is down to 3.2 yards a carry.

If anything good comes of the Titans' illogical and damaging contract with Johnson, it'll be as a warning to other teams not to jump to pay a 'star' more than he's worth. We've seen at least two such 'payment failures' this season: Johnson, and the 0-10 Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning. Both teams paid these players ungodly amounts, with disastrous results.
