Chiefs LARRY JOHNSON IS DONE!!!... THANKS CARL!!! - Page 3

Frankie · 03:03 PM

Done by the over-use of two years ago followed by the big contract of last year. He is a fat cat who has no heart and does the very minimum of what he is supposed to do. The 1st rounder that we would have gotten from Dallas would have filled another hole. But Carl had to prove that HIS personal pick (over the wishes of his HC) was smart!

He's a different runner than 2005. It's PAINFULLY obvious. He's dancing, he's tentative - and when he does get in the open, he nancy's his way OOB.

So, who looked better on running plays?

No one.

The bottom line is that the offensive line is in transition and until the right side is repaired, no one, including the QB's and running backs, are going to look "good".

Because no other team was going to pay him close to that?

It's called rebuilding.

Get over it.

No it's not dumb. Charles and Smith at least look like they are trying. I bet if they are more involved, as much as LJ they would come up with one or two big plays DESPITE the O-line.

You're missing the point.

He re-signed here for the $19M signing bonus, knowing damn well he wasn't getting anywhere near that amount anywhere else.

I'm not saying he shoudl have taken less here.

I'm saying he took the best deal he was ever going to get...

No one else got more than 3 carries.

Ditto.

The Chiefs have a lot of cap room.

They need to dump Larry Johnson to a contender that loses their RB by the trade Deadline.

Johnson won't be a factor by the time this team is ready to win.

If they like Tony Gonzalez at all.....they'll dump him to a contender by week 6 as well to acquire a draft pick.

Mecca · 09-14-2008, 02:51 PM

No team is going to give you anything for LJ....the only thing the Chiefs can do with him is ride it out or cut him.

That's another argument that I vigorously used in my call to trade him last year. I agree a 100%.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 09-14-2008, 02:53 PM

LJ is *****ing done. Accept it.

We might get lucky if a serious contender loses their main RB this year, like Iowanian said. And if we can successfully sell the myth that his lack of production is solely due to our O-line.

el borracho · 09-14-2008, 02:55 PM

Nothing wrong with LJ. If we find a passing game next year he will get his yards. Until then, expect 8 or 9 in the box and very little room to run.

And hence why I gloat to anyone who'll listen that I said we should trade him after his 400+ carry season

If he could pass block, I'd feel a lot better about him.
