Tomlinson is done
Constant injuries... me thinks he's done. All the announcers were raving "LT is back" during the final game of the season.. yea, back for 1 quarter before he's hurt again... I think Sproles took the torch last night.
It's amazing how short life is for a NFL back now days. Makes guys like Emmit Smith, Thurman Thomas, and even Marcus Allen look like supermen. DT |

Tearing your groin has to be a bitch. Although this year he has shown signs that he may be slowing down, he still has a few more years.

Yeah, I don't ever see him returning to an elite level of play, but he's still serviceable when he's healthy. I'd imagine he'll play for 2-3 more years in some capacity.

He will be entering his 9th season. For comparison, Emmit Smith had 4 more 1000 yard seasons after his 8th year. But his carries were limited.

I had a small tear in my groin from doing squats and it took about 3-4 months before I felt comfortable them again. I can't even image trying to run and cut with that. I bet he is out for the year.

Tomlinson is 29 with a lot of wear and tear. I think he's done as a workhorse. Sproles is a terrific player and can be "the guy" for a playoff run. But, Sproles can't carry the load for a full season: he's just too small.

LaDainian Tomlinson-RB-Chargers Jan. 5 - 4:58 pm et
ESPN's John Clayton doesn't believe that LaDainian Tomlinson will dress for the Chargers' Divisional Round game at Pittsburgh. Clayton confirms a report that Tomlinson will likely need surgery in the offseason, adding "it looks like this is going to be Darren Sproles' game." LT2's season may very well be over unless San Diego advances to the Super Bowl. Considering how fantastic Sproles is playing, it's not a huge loss. Related: Darren Sproles |

30 year old running backs who lose it don't get it back. He will be on the wrong side of thirty and has had several nagging injuries. Tomlinson can still be a solid productive player, but he will never regain anything close to his old form.

I predict another 1400 Yard season by LT next year.
He'll sit the rest of this year and prove everyone wrong next year... /homer |
