I want LJ gone NOW ... (found on the KCSTAR board)

[royr17]

Like I said i found this on the star and I thought it be interesting to see what some people have to say on this matter :

I have to agree that I Larry Johnson has an undeniable amount of talent. How much that is, no one really knows... But I do know this... He is bad for the Chiefs. Larry Johnson is bad for this team, PERIOD. This morning on a radio interview he was asked if he would rather win a Superbowl or be inducted into the Hall of Fame. His answer? "Definately the Hall of Fame." Later on today when he was talking to the media he was asked about Jake Plummer's gesture to the fan in Denver and he replied that he does it all the time on the road. He pokes fun at the opposing fans and that it doesn't matter because he's "not starting."
I'm telling you guys.. LJ is bad for this team. He's not a team player and everything he does he bases on HIM not playing or HIM getting this or that. He's not a team guy. The Chiefs would be best suited by letting LJ run the ball, and his mouth, as it were, run up a lot of stats and then trade his a$s in the off-season. He's not a team player... I'd rather see the Chiefs win a Superbowl then watch a Hall of Fame running back on a 6-10 team.

if Jopo's comparison ends up valid, we are witnessing greatness in the making.

It's been a long time since the NFL has had such a punishing runner. I think he mentally and phyiscally wears down defenses.

Defenses aren't used to playing against backs they don't want to tackle in the fourth qtr.

I'm fine with him as a running back also but I'd like to see him learn to block and I'd like to see him man up and lose the attitude off the field.

LJ may not be a model citizen but if he plays well enough to actually go into the hall of fame... that production can only be good for the Chiefs.
