If he continued to run like that then his career would've been shorter. Its not exactly easy to run over linebackers year after year. To expect this is questionable. Lets face it when LJ was in the D would take him out first and let the mistakes happen at QB which is pretty consistent to say the least. Herm fooling us to thinking LJ was the guy to build the offense around was absolutely the wrong call. We can all agree on that. It made expectations exceed what any 1 player can do for an offense. Some players are better when success is around and some players are better leaders to find a win. LJ wasn't the leader he was crowned to be and 30,000 are still pissed because they called it. Maybe he was a better with another RB handcuffed. He was never used right after the 2005 season. I'm a fan of LJ, but I can see that he needed to go. You can gain by subtraction and IMO both parties won.

I will concede that maybe it was foolish of me to expect this kind of play, but I am going to contend that Herman Edwards is at fault for giving the ball to LJ over 400 times in the 2006 season. If Herman would have used a small fraction of intelligence and limited LJ's usage perhaps we would have seen LJ continue the production he gave early in his career. However, this does not excuse LJ for quitting on passing plays no matter if he was assigned to catch or block, it also does not excuse what he said to the fans of Kansas City or his various crimes he committed in our city as well. It was obvious that Larry had quit on our team by the end of last year and bringing him back for this year was foolish from the start.

LJ was a guy who could make a LB miss after running through a hole the size of a Sherman tank, and then he would knock DBs on their ass.

He was never a real power back though.
He rarely plowed into LBs.

Once the line degenerated, he became virtually useless, and on thos rare occasions when he got to teh second level, he became a pussy, running out f bounds, or going down with first contact.

I am sure he lost a little of his enthusiasm for the game the last two seasons.

Hell, who didn't?

No the picture is my son who completed his last tour this month. His fighting days are soon to be behind him. He has been on stop loss for several months but gets out soon~

KCbroncoHATER · 11-26-2009, 01:52 PM

Next time you talk to him tell him thanks for his service for me.

And that I am proud of him.

He said something nice.

Props to him, but he's a dumbass, and if you give him pos rep, I might have to blast him with neg rep just out of principle.

I haven't blasted him yet.

I have never seen him before. I threw some rep at him and it bounced off like a egg on a brick. It was then I thought wow he pissed off some big boys~
