5 Reasons to Stop Any Chris Johnson Excitement
Let's stop getting excited about Chris Johnson in a Jets uniform.

It was kind of unbelievable, actually. After it was announced that the New York Jets signed Football Outsiders, the Titans run blocking ability actually ranked two spots ahead of the Jets last year (19th vs. 21st). It's not as though he's entering a run blocking situation to die for.

5. The passing attack is questionable.

The Jets have a new quarterback in Michael Vick, and while he's clearly an upgrade over Geno Smith, let's not jump to the conclusion that the Jets passing attack will be much better than what the Titans have had over the past few seasons. In fact, when you adjust the Titans Passing NEP for strength of schedule, the team finished 13th in the league in 2013 in efficiency. They were 26th in 2012, 17th in 2011 and 20th in 2010, too. No, those rankings aren't favorable, but it's not as though Michael Vick - a quarterback who's barely played above expectation over the last two seasons - is all of a sudden going to make the Jets a top-10 passing unit. The attack will struggle, especially given the team's lack of weapons.

Oh, and did I mention that Chris Johnson will be 29 years old in September?
