Football Have you ever looked at LT's stats?

Red Dawg · 05-15-2007, 06:46 AM

27 years old with 100TD's and after this season he'll have over 10,000 yards. He's way under 30. He will break yards and td records for all RB's. Good bye Emmit.

Damn he's a bad ass.

Glad to see Emmitt go down so fast.

Add about 3,000 yards receiving and 11 receiving TD's and you're looking at a guy who's on his way to Canton.

He'll be in there anyways even if he quit today.

Hound333 · 05-15-2007, 07:48 AM

I think he's not on his way. I think the bust is being made already and just waiting for him to retire and become eligible. He's already there if he stops playing today.

If he goes another 6 years like his first 6, we'll have all been fortunate enough to see the best running back in the history of the game. The whole 'plays for a rival' part, sucks, but he is what he is, and for probably 75% of his career so far, he's done it with shit for an o-line, up until the last year and a half or so.

The Chargers were idiots. They traded away the opportunity to draft the only legitimate Superstar in that draft, Michael Vick. What did they get in return?

Thankfully, we have someone like Carl Peterson running our front office.

If LT played for Oakland or Denver, it would be different. It's hard to Hate San Diego, even though they are a division rival. I've never heard anyone go on a rant about how SD plays dirty, has a crappy owner, or any of the stuff that we love to hate about the "other two" teams in the division.

I meant that in terms of watching him play against us twice a year, although, to our credit, we've probably been as good at neutralizing him as anyone.

And the longer they're competitive, the easier it is to hate them. The pity is gone, they're not the lovable, goofy little brother in the division anymore. The Raiders are trying to take that role.

I find I do dislike SD slightly less now that martyocre is gone. I got a bizarre enjoyment out of watching him spin his wheels year after year.

As long as Al Davis is in Oakland and Shanarat is in Denver, I'm going to hate both teams. The wounds like the 97 playoffs run pretty deep.

SD has no single player or defining moment that makes me hate them. They certainly are a better team with a brighter future than we are (at least, for the moment) but I've never yelled about how their players or coach are dirty, cheating bastards or how I hate their owner or anything like that.

You may be right, over time that might happen. But I don't have a problem losing with dignity if the team is just better. When you have Neil Smith taunting the audience after a playoff loss while the rest of the team is wiping vaseline off their uniforms, that breeds a lot of hate. SD, on the other hand seems like a classy organization.

I must admit that I f***ing HATE Shawne Merriman.

Roided up hot head career-ender.

Dirty, cheating bastard.

I must be a different breed.
I have no difficulty hating SD and that goes for Seattle when they were around and sucked.
Being a division rival is all the motivation I need.

I think LT is good, but barry sanders called, he says you're wrong

He would call today, he wouldn't 5 years from now, if LT continues at his current pace.
