yeah there's a bunch of context stuff too. johnson set the record for consecutive >100 yard all-purpose games, had 20 tds, only got hurt in the last game of the season, and had an extra 4 yards/reception over bell.

Also Bell has two ACL tears already, doesnt he?

An MCL sprain, then MCL tear the following year.

Bell is better than Johnson at blitz pick-up and receiving. The only thing that Johnson does better is breakaway speed.

Pass-catching running backs:

quote:

1. David Johnson, Arizona Cardinals: A wideout when he entered college, the former Northern Iowa star retained all the benefits of the position when he rocked up to 230 pounds and moved to the backfield. By the third game of Johnson's NFL career, Bruce Arians already had his third-round draft pick lining up out wide and in the slot as a third or fourth receiver. As a rookie, he became the first player in 16 years to average more than 12.0 yards per reception while gaining at least 400 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards. He also led all NFL running backs in percentage of receptions (58.3) converted to first downs.

"He's probably as natural a catcher as there is," quarterback Carson Palmer said last December, just before Johnson showed his mismatch potential with 88 yards on three receptions versus Green Bay in Week 16. The Packers started with a linebacker in coverage, switched to a safety and finally capitulated with a dime cornerback by the end of the game. During that blowout victory, NFL Films caught All-Pro cornerback Tyrann Mathieu delighting in the observation that Johnson is a bigger version of Marshall Faulk, a Hall of Famer widely regarded as the greatest receiving back in NFL history.

"His receiving and ball skills are second to none," Cardinals general manager Steve Keim raved this summer. "I mean, probably the best receiving back I've seen."

OJ Howard seems like he'll be Jimmy but we also thought Trent Richardson was the next AP so I'll wait until he's produced.

Let's see

Steelers 5962 yards, 399 points
Cardinals 5868 yards, 418 points

Bell - 1884 yards, 9 TD's
DJ - 2118 yards, 20 TD's

So Bell was 31.5% of the Steelers yards and DJ was 36%

Of course Bell missed 4 games, which would extrapolate out to say, a high end of like 2506 yards and probably like 39-40% of the Steelers offense at most.

Interesting debate. You could argue there are more mouths to feed in Pittsburgh so Lev's stats are more impressive. You could argue the Cards have DJ and nothing else but the ghosts of Palmer and Fitz, so his stats are more impressive. Or you could just say gently caress it, they are both amazing and we are splitting hairs at this point.

I actually think he went to the worst team he could almost. His biggest issue as a receiver is he wants to let the ball come to him instead of break his route/jump out and get it and Jameis gonna throw that poo poo all over the place
