CJ ranked 25th best player of 2012 so far by PFF

25. Charles Johnson, DE, CAR

Johnson is really starting to find his best form and, if his performances from the last two weeks are anything to go by, will only finish higher when this list gets redone at the end of the year. Disappointed after getting paid last year, but the Panthers have stopped messing about and kept him rushing from the left side and he’s already repaying them with 44 quarterback disruptions.

Key Stat: Is picking up a quarterback pressure on 17.6% of pass rushes.

20. Duane Brown, LT, HST

Our top-ranked tackle gave up his first sack since 2010 against the Bills. Still he’s only given up 12 quarterback disruptions all year and is perfectly utilized in a Texans zone blocking scheme that makes full use of his athletic ability. Not many tackles are able to have the impact he does in the run game.

Key Stat: Graded positively in pass protection in all but one game this year.

And everybody laughed at the Texans for the pick after the draft. Even funnier considering that just about all the other first round LT's that year ended up busts.

This is why you wait to evaluate a draft.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
