I think so when he's on his game.

That's true, but even a lot of those plays were impressive. I'm not saying Johnson isn't elusive at all, but even relative to running backs today, I wouldn't consider him very elusive.
Barry Sanders' elusiveness is on another level than anyone, not just Chris Johnson. He had o-line issues where he had to make his own yardage. Johnson has always had one of the stronger o-lines in the league.
