LT released by Chargers

[sarcasm on]

I wonder how many of the same comments would have been said about Moss, Dillon, Harrison etc before they became pats

[/sarcasm off]

San Diego is a cancerous team. I wouldnt be at all surprised to see him and Merriman do very well in new environments. Not saying it would happen but it who knows

merriman maybe, but unless LT gets on hgh like rodney harrison, his age won't let him be a real #1

goal line specialist at best

 

[jcdavey]

Tomlinson reminds me of Larry Johnson...Use the guy up too early in his career and he is shot when the 30 year old mark comes around

totally different

LJ was the definition of flash in the pan, once edwards had him break the carries record, he was useless

whereas LT actually had longevity in the league

08 he was merely decent, 09 he sucked, but 01-07 , LT was awesome

LJ never had that kind of longevity...at all

 

[Kontradiction]

Yeah, committing himself professionally and personally to not only the team, but the city of SD for nine years, really makes him a baby by showing the emotion tied to it. Get a clue. I know you hate him, but give the guy some props for showing he cares about what he does and isnt afraid to show it. Takes a man to not care about what others think.

His tears were as sweet apple pie. :singing:

Eh, I think you went too far. 2006 was the last time LT was "awesome", by definition. 2007 was the first year in which he appeared to be just another good running back. 2008 the wheels began to fall off.

Belichick sure doesn't care what others think, but somehow that makes him "arrogant."

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

At least he took being shown the door like a man and not trash SD on the way out.

I heard Breer said that he met Tomlinson outside of football and the guy is really a cool dude and very nice....I bet he is.

rodney did come from sd and the chargers do have a history of suspension for ped's. i wouldn't put it past LT.

 

[Disco Volante]

really a cool dude and very nice....I bet he is.

So basically, you're saying he's a classy guy.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

LOL...Not classy in football,thats for sure....I'll let you know if I ever meet him on the streets

 

[Disco Volante]

I saw him at a restaurant once, he was complaining about his soup.

Was saying how it's cold and how that probably is a reflection of the head chef, then he started to cry.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Maybe it comes from their coach.

lol

Well done sir. :rocker:

can someone explain why they didn't trade LT 3 or 4 yrs ago to some overpaying team while promoting Michael Turner.? Turner may be 27 or 28 now, but he runs like a 24 yr old because he was shelved for so many years.

At the end of the 2007 season, LT still put up an excellent year. It would have been a tough call for the 'Bolts. In hindsight, they should have dealt him but would have had to take a pretty big cap hit. Lastly it would have been a VERY risky move from a PR standpoint...
