Football Pouting in San Diego - Page 4

Every Charger fan I know says hes done and wanted to let him go over Turner. Plus the argument that LT is better because he produced more yds doesn't make sense. He touched the ball for 85% of their plays for a lot of years because he was all they had. LJ was used as RB which his title is. LT was used as QB/RB/WR/TE/FB because they had no one else shoulder the load. Now that they do, his numbers have declined to the point no one even talks about him anymore. Its all about Sproles if you walk down the street.

Best back?

He's not even the best LT.

I was going to post a picture of the LT, but then I got this:

the bold makes zero sense

I love the "hes not the real LT" argument.

Like a guy cant use his initials as a nickname.

Oh, sorry about that. I wasn't trying to present a rational argument.

I was just making fun of him.

It's about time for LT to head on to be the first homo in Canton.

His uniform is on display in Canton. It's right next to Tom Brady's as the 2006 and 2007 MVPs.

LaT was a damn good back, but he's not in my top 10, and I think he's about done. Getting rid of "the burner" will prove to be a terrible mistake. I love Sproles, but he's just not an every down back. He's better than LaT though right now.

Basileus777 · 09-02-2009, 11:42 AM

LT wasn't even the most effective back on his team last year. Hell, Sproles is the better receiver at this point.

2bikemike · 09-02-2009, 08:00 PM

I have LT on my fantasy team. I hope he has 14 great games this year and two really shitty ones.

KCrockaholic · 09-02-2009, 08:00 PM

Bigger man-crush = GoChiefs

Better back in 09' = LJ

Darren Sproles>LT in 09'

LT is basically done. He will probably go down again, then realize Adrian Puh Puh Puh Peterson is the best back in the entire league!

Most teams would love to have "Tomlinson's bad year" he is declining because of his overall number of touches and age but he is good enough at every facet of the game to remain a valuable piece to have. He is today a better player than Larry Johnson but that isn't saying a whole lot which is why that argument is baffling.

He is a more complete back than Peterson but he isn't that kind of runner anymore. Also for Peterson and all the talk and records etc, he has to show he's durable. For a RB Tomlinson has been remarkably durable where Peterson's past points to durability problems.

Tomlinson is not a great back anymore, he's a good back that does all of the little things that help you win games.

Peterson is a great runner he just isn't nearly as polished in all facets of the game we'll see if that comes in time. Larry Johnson never learned those things.

**kysirsoze** · 09-03-2009, 03:18 AM

It's possible that LJ will exceed LT this year, but that's it. Anyone on here who thinks LJ is anywhere near the same level as LT overall is the definition of "homer".

I'd be stunned if LJ came close honestly...Tomlinson is on a better team with a better line with a better QB etc etc etc.

His bad year still was considerably better than LJ's year.
