Football Tomlinson still has gas in the tank? - Page 2

Msmith · 09-30-2010, 10:07 AM

The run began like so many others for LaDainian Tomlinson(notes) over the past two-plus years – slowly developing to the outside and seemingly destined to go nowhere, sure to be cited as further confirmation that the formerly great back has lost a step.

And then suddenly, breathtakingly, on a magical Sunday night in Miami, it was 2006 again: LT made a sharp cut near the left sideline, swept past a slew of Dolphins defenders and made strong safety Chris Clemons look silly before being dragged down at the 5-yard-line, 18 yards from where he began. Four plays and a pass-interference penalty later, the Jets’ rejuvenated halfback took a patented leap over right guard and into the end zone for his 154th career touchdown and the final points in a 31-23 victory....

How many players that the Chargers deemed wash up and let go but end up playing well for other teams? Brees, LT, Leber, Welker...anymore?

Anyone can use the excuse that he was "A player with troubles" but IMO it was one of the dumbest things EVA in the CP regime.

I'm kind of a JA fan, but if you look at the production he's given the team he was traded to and compare it to what the Chiefs got in the trade, it's kind of a no-brainer.

At first thought, yes its dumb to trade away a "franchise pass rusher"

JA, was considered a "high risk" player, coming off a suspension and 3 or 4 DUI's...

JA didnt want to be in KC anymore. He was ready to move on.

At least CP got some players for him. Basically Albert and Charles...i think?

Yea I'm just a bitter f***er over all of that. I do know JA didn't want to be in KC anymore and 70% of that was because he despised CP so to me that is a double wammy of a king size FU by CP. It just pains me that we lost him because CP alienated him.

The end of 3rd quarter. LT so far has 133yds and 2TDs.

it appears TO also still has gas in the tank, 200+ yards so far

I went up against LT and TO in fantasy football today.

**** me.

I see that he still does that reeruned ball flip.
I liked LT when he quietly handed the ball to the referee and went to the sidelines.

Yep, AJ Smith isn't being perceived as quite the genius anymore. Look at the reasons why.
1.Let Brees Go...Dumb
2.Let Michael Turner Go..Total screw up
3.Fired a coach that turned his team around after a 14-2 season...WTF??
4.Replaced that coach with Norv Turner..what a reerun
5.Let LT walk thinking he was done..apparently not

The guy is reaching Carl Peterson ineptitude.

Peterson only had that much talent one year and he BEGGED them to stay.
