Asked about Vikings running back Adrian Peterson on Thursday, Titans running back Chris Johnson responded "I am the best back in the league and he is not," according to Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean. He added, "I don't think it's close." Coming off of a record breaking season, it's a good time for Johnson to make such claims. However, eager to prove his "down" 2009 season was a fluke, Peterson is surely hungrier than ever, and Johnson's comments will likely only to help to further his return to the top of the list of the NFL's best running backs.

I know it's in quotations here, but people who rag on his season as a down year are kinda ridiculous. He still had almost 1400 and 18 tds, his ability keeps him at #1 for me the entire time. CJ is fast and has been real good, but he's not better than Adrian Peterson.
Im glad you guys give respect to AP, maybe if we get rid of Favre people want always talkin crap about us...
not a big shocker here that Chris Johnson is sayin he is the best running back in the league. I think it goes him and Peterson 1 2. But its pretty close either way
Chris Johnson is silly. On a separate note, I really don't like him or his attitude in general. Not because he said this, but just from everything I've seen of him, he's a total douchebag.
They're both up there, Johnson is a jackass, AD has a lot of clbutt....i think Ray Rice has the potential to be better than both of them but at least deserves to be in the conversation.
