I'd say about 60-80 members on here are negative about LJ. Squeaky wheels are the loudest.

ESPN The Magazine actually floats this in their latest issue. A "Don't be surprised if Belichick goes after Larry Johnson" type rumor, likening it to the Pats adding Corey Dillon a few years ago.

they might do it, they did it with Correy Dillon and it worked out pretty good for them

What mistake? Dillon preformed and got them Championship. Much like Johnson, Dillon was a major malcontent, and once on a winning team ws quiet and preformed magnificently.

I'm not in the market for a RB, NE will be Mulroney is a career injury prone player.

lj's effort and attitude are damaging to this team....

we can't afford not to get rid of his lazy, quitter, selfish, chick bashing ass....

ha has to go

You could be right about where he winds up, but in 2004 when Patriots traded for Dillon, he was 30 as well (2004). born Oct. 24, 1974. Larry Johnson born Nov. 10, 1979. 30 years old.

Dillons last year in Cincy had 541 yards in 13 games, w/ 2 TD's. No Pro Bowl there, and were given 2 rd pick. History often repeats itself.

What's the hurry, "we're rebuilding", isn't that the War Cry of this Message Board, were a young team, 2-3 years from seriously competing. Johnson would be 34 by then, and gives you time to build your line in place of getting your RB, look the line dictates the run, ask the Broncos, how many 1000yd rushers have they send through that mill.

Thank You!!!!

NE gave a fourth for MR. Randy Moss we'de be lucky to get a 6th or seventh round pick, wouldn't that be great:D





Better than rochambeau

I've looked at a couple of rebuilds in the current NFL. The model is this:

A team begins with a top 10 draft pick.
The team continues to decline and ends up with an even higher draft pick.
The team then improves to be competitive the next year battling for the playoffs or even making it.
The team improves to be a serious contender for the superbowl.

The best example is the Titans. Their rebuild began 4 years ago and is now in the contend for the SB phase.

The other examples would be the Dolphins and the Falcons. Both teams are coming off the even higher draft pick phase and are competive battling for the playoffs.

The Chiefs should compete next year. The Chiefs should compete next year if the rebuild will be successful. If they don't then Herm needs to go and they need to start over with another coach.

I would agree with you about the Dolphins and Falcons, key points being top draft picks panning out (Matt Ryan), and new competent Head Coaches. The Titans however not so much. They had every intension of running with Young, when that went south, they relayed on a veteran Quarterback in Collins. And also did a lot of FA signing in Kearse, Mc Carriens,& Crumpler. They also the recepiants of a "perfect storm", in a week schedule and a weak division this year. But your "blueprint" can work, QFT. But my original argument being Johnson for the Chiefs is expendible and has value out there.

You're smoking crack.

No one and I mean NO ONE will give the Chiefs a 2nd round pick for a nearly 30 year-old RB with serious off the field issues.

Those players you listed above were traded for 7th round picks with the exception of Hall, who's played like a 7th rounder since being traded.

The Chiefs will be lucky to get a conditional 6th for Johnson.

LUCKY.

There aren't many teams ....if any that would give us a 2nd rd pick for LJ.

NE for sure isn't one of them. They run a spread type offense which req the RB to block........not exactly LJ's strongest ability.
