The Cardinals Are Garbage, But David Johnson May Be The Best Player In The NFL

[Kel Varnsen]

Good read with lots of nice highlights.

The Arizona Cardinals are jammed deep in a trashcan this season, but it’s still worth sifting through all that muck to take a closer look at running back David Johnson. Amidst all the other crap, Johnson is somehow having an MVP-caliber season.

Johnson’s received plenty of love, with the internet recognizing him as a top-tier running back comparable to Ezekiel Elliott and Le’Veon Bell, along with some cases here and there for him as this season’s MVP. And that’s the thing: Elliott and Bell play in offenses that are flush with other weapons, and therefore capable of more than giving the football away to their opponents. Johnson teams with Larry Fitzgerald, sure, but Carson Palmer has been ass, the offensive line has been held together by silly putty and thumbtacks, and the Cardinals’ other pass catchers are holograms. Johnson really is a one-man show.

I think he might be the best offensive player, or among them hard to say that with Brady and Rodgers still in the league.

There are some amazing defensive players too, the more I watch the Raiders the more I marvel at how good Khalil Mack is for example.

David Johnson sucks. All he does is score touchdowns its not like he knows how to kick the balls and run backwards showing his mom and sisters that he can be a champion. Geez.

Gotta throw in Bell who's over 1600 yards in 10 games. Sick.

Getting almost 300 rushing yards in 1 game didn't hurt. The guy is a beast for sure.
