Yea considering RB has become the most expendable position in the league.......

Last time I checked, Mr. GoChiefs, the TE and RB positions have different roles on the team. I'm not fussing. I actually understand your point of view. I really do but, if we're going to run him up the center's ass 416 more times next year, we can find a less expensive RB who can do the same thing.

Ask the Chargers if they think LT is expendable.

That's an elite RB, that is HOF caliber and is extremely versatile.

Let's ask the Colts if they think RB is expendable, or the Bills. Fact is RB is the most talent rich position in all of football, they are there in the draft every year. It's become an expendable position just due to how talent rich it is.

Is LJ a strong receiving threat? If your answer is no... then, he's not worth the LT contract and he's not better than Priest.

Will he eventually sign for more money than any other RB? Quite possibly, that happens all the time as the caps increase.

It's a decent article, GC, but right now, you're wrong. LJ is not on the same level of LT. LJ is the second best RB out there. AS a pure runner LJ is better. But when you consider blocking, running in space, and catching the ball LT is significantly better.

I could argue Steven Jackson is better......if you wanna be dead serious about it.

I'm not going to debate LJ's versatility on THIS BB, but I believe he showed improvement in those areas last year and will continue to do so. I don't believe there's the ENORMOUS gap that some of you are implying between the two running backs.

Steven Jackson is a better "all around" RB than LJ in my opinion and no I'm not just referring to fantasy football.

LJ has been a phenom, no doubt... but he had 80 more carries in 2006 than in 2005 with only 39 more rushing yards. LJ's receiving skills are average.

I'm not hatin' on the guy.. just saying that he is NOT the midwest's version of LT.

:LOL: ROFL

Steven Jackson caught 90 balls last year......

See, that shows maturity... you're learning when to back out of a losing battle. Bravo.

The O Line had nothing to do with that of course.

Hell put Jarrett at RB problem solved and have you seen his zany receiving skills!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Go pull up his stats and watch him play......he's every bit as big and talented and actually has more versatility.
