Thanks for introducing meaningless issues.

I really wish Detroit would have taken Jason Smith with the 1st pick and traded their 20, 33, and 137 for our #3 pick and taken Stafford.

They would be better off and so would we.

The Lions would have been fine currently if they would have made proper picks, they could have come out of this draft with Stafford, Oher, Britton and Jared Cook.

Sounds like a nice start for your young franchise QB, but no that's to logical.

I don't know, man. Where do you list Tomlinson? That mother****er couldn't average 4 YPC last year. Neither could Willie Parker, Matt Forte, Ryan Grant, Marion Barber, Willis McGahee, Fred Taylor or Joseph Addai.

And yet something tells me you would have traded LJ for ANY of those running backs after the 2007 season.

You'll never, ever admit you're wrong about Larry Johnson. He bounced back in a way almost no one expected last year. But yeah, he's not worth a shit. Not at ALL.

I still think it would have been nice for them to have Smith and Stafford. We could have taken their current LT Backus in on the trade instead of the late pick. He could have started at guard immediately.

I think that would have been great for the Chiefs to have #20, #33 and Backus for the #3 pick.

But I agree that they should have done more for the offense. Maybe they are thinking that they can late Culpepper get killed this year and bring in another LT next year when Stafford starts. That is if they wait to start him.

Take away the Denver game (198 yds), the Atlanta game (121 yds because of a big run), and maybe even the Miami game (108 yds). Then what do you have?

He was wildly inconsistent and hurt last year. He's not great.

They probably didn't wanna pay that kinda money, either way they were still in great position to get their QB and fix their line and they didn't do it, that's why they're the Lions.

So you are going to compare him to a bunch of guys who had bad years? To show you how much faith the Colts have in Addai they used their 1st pick on another RB.

That's the difference in teams, we keep running our declining pile out there, they replace him.

Matt Forte had an excellent year. So did a handful of those other guys.

None of them averaged 4.5 YPC.

I'm guessing Larry is REALLY going to make you eat crow this year. Unless he gets hurt. Which of course, is unlikely, because he's as durable as they come. Even after the 400 carry gauntlet.

Because YPC is the only thing that matters.

Now I'm starting to wonder if you're even being serious.

I'd say it's pretty important in judging a running back.

If LJ had averaged 3.8 YPC like LT I'm sure Mecca would be screaming at the top of his lungs about how washed up LJ is.

I'm going to guess they all carried significantly more than he did since Johnson missed games and got to play in an where he carried less, so a couple of big runs skew his average..

Lets not bring up the 2nd halves of games when running would have been good and he had 1 yard carries.

Tomlinson is ****ing old, he has a ton of wear on his body, he's declining just the same.

Yes, damn Larry for breaking off those big runs.

Stupid mother****er! Stop skewing your average!

What are you going to say when LJ puts up 1300 yards this year?
