Buffalo wouldn't do that deal.......they want to trade McGahee to avoid dealing with Rosenhaus and a big contract....

The last thing they'll want back is another RB wanting a big contract, not to mention one with more miles on him.

His best season IMO, was his his second season with us (he sat out the first due to rehab on his knee) and he didn't really play until around week 8. Then he was "auditioning" for the start for the following season. Which he won, and we dumped Henry. He went downhill from there. He's had flashes of how he could play if he felt like it... primarily when the current #2 would come in and fail to be a failure. Then the ****er would coast again.

Teams look at it this way.....he has mileage and you'll have to pay him....when it's been proven time and time again you'll do fine putting a young guy back there who's "fresh".

RB is a position you can actually save money at and still get production, I personally don't believe you should ever give a RB a 2nd contract with how many teams have them and what's in the draft every year.

Well Faulk is HOFer.....and LJ will never sniff the all around back Faulk was. In his heyday Faulk was truly the best player out there. He could lineup as a WR and display WR skills.

LJ to me can never sniff him because he'll never have the recieving skills or the overall game, they're close as pure RB's but Faulk brings so much more.

don't mis-understand me, I understand Marshall was the first LT, and could hit you in different ways and he was a great back and so is LT. I'm only saying, in response to your opinion, that I'm not sold 100% that I would want marshall or even LT over a Jim Brown, LT type.

I don't think he is used correctly in the passing game. Some of his best gains have been when he leaks out of the backfield in the middle of the field. He saved one game with that play. And they should run the shovel pass to him. Things that get him in the open field where he really excels.

What would tell you that? The fact LJ cannot or does not want to block?

Well he got traded before 99 in which he was pretty much one of the best backs ever so there's that.....

Are you saying Faulk was one of the best backs before he was traded or after?

He wasn't great until he got to St. Louis where they used him the way he was supposed to be used.

After the 2001 season he went downhill fast.

The Colts were a crap team.

He actually never put up huge numbers as a runner, but his versatility made him an outstanding RB.

You forgot to show his receiving stats with the Colts.

If you were to rank the top 10 RB's ever in the NFL Faulk IMHO doesn't make it.

1. Walter Payton
2. Jim Brown
3. Barry Sanders
4. Emmitt Smith
5. Gayle Sayers
6. Eric Dickerson
7. OJ Simpson
8. Earl Campbell
9. Tony Dorsett
10. Marcus Allen

Some other notables are Marion Motley, Franco Harris, Faulk, LT, Thurman Thomas, Curtis Martin.

Perhaps.

But when he was traded it was big news, and most pundits thought the Colts were crazy for trading away a RB with his talent.

You can't put Gale Sayers in there.

He is probably the single most exciting player I've ever watched, but he simply didn't play long enough or post the numbers to warrant top 10 all time.

The fact is, he really shouldn't be in the HoF.

The Colts could afford to trade Faulk. They had the #4 pick and were definitely spending it on Edgerrin James.- who everyone knew would be available because the 1-3 teams were drafting quarterbacks.

If the Chiefs had the #4 pick in the draft, and could get Adrian Peterson? Shit, trade LJ.

Bettis was only one dimensional once he got long in the tooth and about 200 lbs overweight...

No, I wasn't around yet for the no face mask era, and I became a football fan at a really young age.

I do remember watching players in the single bar era.

I remember thinking the face mask ruined the looks of the helmet. I've since changed my mind. Also, penalty flags were red, not yellow. I don't remember what year they changed that.

Marshall Faulk had the best recieving skills of any back I've ever seen.....guys like him are very rare players.

When your RB can put up 1000 rushing and recieving while having less than 400 total touches, that says something for his talent.
I think Reggie Bush has better receiving skills than Marshall Faulk...however, Bush isn't nearly the running back Faulk was during his stretch in St. Louis. I think he has a chance to be better than Faulk though, that's for sure.

I think we should trade jared allen an our 23rd pick move up an get a guy like amobi okoye the DT from lousville, then wait an see which on of the 18 WR's falls out of the first round an get a guy like sidney rice or meachem in the second round

I still don't understand why people would want to trade a proven star for an unproven draft pick. Trade LJ for a draft pick and what if we get a bust??? good deal retard.

Why are people so down on LJ? We can never get the value we want for this guy. LJ is a gamer. He wants to win and win a championship. What's wrong with that?

I suppose if they can get him to put away his blackberry in team meetings and keep him awake long enough to figure out how to pass block, maybe someday he'll get a chance to win a championship.

Honestly, I'm all for trading LJ, but not for McGahee. He's injury-prone and his knee injury in school scared off a lot of teams.

I'd like to see KC trade LJ and get some draft picks out of the deal. This team simply needs to get younger, faster, and fill a lot of holes.

I'd be all for trading Allen, Hall, Bartee, Green, and any one of those over-priced slackers playing for a paycheck and not a championship. Anything to get younger and field some talent. And please, not RAW talent, mind you, but REAL talent.

RANDOM THOUGHTS
In accepting his Derrick Thomas Chiefs MVP Award, Larry Johnson thanked his coaches and teammates, saying “I know I’m not perfect, I know I can be pain sometimes.” It was L.J. at his best, looking in the mirror and acknowledging his warts to those he cares about. Too bad more fans, and those in the media, didn’t see it, because it would dispel their notion of him being a bad apple. He’s a difficult apple at times, there’s no doubt about that. But the core is good.
