The thing is, yeah, he didn't get used much the first couple years, but he has so much damage from those two 400+ carry seasons. He's got all sorts of injury issues. His speed is gone.

You probably know a bunch, they're just afraid of your reaction. People who "don't know any" generally (and I'm not saying you are) are just homophobes.

That's the Kinsey number. Other estimates come close other than the census estimate.

No thanks on Johnson. That guy is beyond done. Anybody that has watched the Chiefs this year can see that. It amazes me that someone of you can complain about Maroney in one thread (not calling anybody out in particular, just saying) and then turn around in another thread and openly wonder whether or not Larry Johnson should be brought in....

Johnson has proven his worth in the past when KC was at least competitive and now that he is on a bad team he is unable to do so. - Can you think of a better RB combo much better than Holmes and Johnson were a few years ago?

Maroney has been on a SB caliber team since he was here and has done little

Lets not make this thread a Maroney or a Gay bashing thread,O.K.?

I'm not even going to get into the Maroney subject for 500,000th time

As for Johnson, even if KC was competitive he would still be done. Watch a K.C. game at some point this season. He looks like L.T. does now. The tread has quite obviously worn off.

Disregarding the off-field politics, and I still do not think L.J. would be worth adding. I think he's pretty much done after being way overused in 2005 and 2006. In '05 he got the ball in his hands 369 times, and then in '06 he got it an incredible 457 times. Frankly I'm not sold on the idea that his 2.7 yards per carry is simply due to the line in front of him.

I think after getting tackled more than 900 times in a 16-month stretch, he's toast as far as being an effective NFL running back goes. Guys that get hit that much in that short a time span typically have very short careers. Ricky Williams is about the only guy I've seen bounce back and be effective after being overused, but that only happened after he essentially took four years off.

Kinsey was way off, on so many levels that it would take months of discussion board conversations to cover them all. But that's neither here nor there. What Johnson did wrong was call out his coach for a lack of football playing experience. The "fag" thing is just more political correctness gone wild, but belittling his coach was sheer stupidity, especially for a player who's not exactly been a brilliant runner in recent years and has a problematic history with his coaches.

LOL, I'm sure they're somewhere but I have never met a man who I know to be gay. Not a single one. I do know one woman.
