most likely the bolts keep him. Next most likely is they trade him outside the division. After that he is released and someone else over pays for him.

Remember he has been injured 2 seasons in a row now, has tons of mileage on him, but he can catch, run, block, juke and power like no other...

Should our boys in the Mcd department be able to snag him what would the price be for a 1-2 year rental?

I'd be willing to nab him for a 2nd rdr, or maybe a 3rd and future 3/4th. Not a first though- no way

I'd rather spend a second rounder on a guy like James Davis(not sure if he's slated to go that high).

I'm totally on board with your line of thinking here. I think this team needs help at RB.

LT had the talent, still does when healthy, but it's his attitude that rubs me wrong. I like Larry Johnson as a runner as well, but his attitude sucks ass, and his comments about playing harder for a black coach bugged the hell out of me. It's a form of racism IMO.

I'd pass on LT.

No. RB's have a notoriously short life span, he's like what 30? That's usually the brick wall for RB's. That gas tank is on E.

Definite no on LT, even if we could get him cheap. Our offense is a great, young unit, and we need a RB that can run hard with them for the next 6-10 years. I'm thinking LT retires in 2 years.

01-16-2009, 08:47 PM
Give him a contract heavily weighted on performance.

Give the Chargers a draft pick based on performance (2010)

Then it's up to Lt only and we get what we pay for.

LT is better than any RB on our roster.

So Id part with a fourth rounder for him.

And though hes been injured last year and this year, it hasnt been a common occurance for him.

He still runs hard, and frankly, I think his Oline sucks.

Not the same runner he used to be, but hes no slouch either.

They still wouldn't do it. They would be crucified if he went to a rival and ran for 1500 yards or something. The risk is to great in trading a player like LT to a divisional rival.

LRtagger
01-16-2009, 10:21 PM
With this offense I would rather take my chances drafting a guy in the 2nd rather than giving up a 2nd for a 1-2 year player...even LT.

Why give up that second for 1-2 years of a guy who might be great, but might be hurt when we can draft a guy who could last 5-6-7 years and might be great.

We are young on offense, we should stick with that trend.

Living in San Diego and seeing a good bit of the Chargers this year I'd say he's still worth a 4th based on how he looked when healthy IF you can renegotiate his contract considerably and perhaps use him in a committee with Hillis. Have to agree with others here that sited his attitude as a problem though.

He's a fine enough citizen which is certainly worth something, but you won't see the guy cheering on teammates and really only even interacts with them after he scores himself. He's not a passionate player or a leader--which makes him considerably less desirable even if he isn't a locker room cancer per se.

My gut tells me he could have 1 or 2 thousand yard seasons in him but there's no way to be sure he's not going the road of Shawn Alexander either. Clearly the groin injury at the end of the year was significant--but I STILL question the guy's heart. He really disappointed with that whole dark visor on the sideline fiasco last year and this year was only marginally improved in terms of body language when not the center of attention. I just have a feeling other RB greats would have overcome that toe issue he dealt with earlier in the season and probably would have gone in the playoffs last year.

The Chargers dilemma brings a smile to my face though because they had the perfect LT replacement in Turner and squandered him. :beer:

I feel the same way. L.T. might have two more seasons in him but there is no sure way to know. It's my contention that if some how we were able to bring L.T. in the cost verses the production wouldn't pan out. That's even considering that he might have two more good season left in him.

A 5th round pick that could go to a 2nd based on rush attempts or yards gained.

I think wherever LT goes, he will have 3-5 more years of being among the best backs in the league.

3-5 years seems a bit high consider he'll 30 by the start of next season.

Yep, I see him as a back that will be productive into his mid 30's. It's all crystal ball stuff, and the groin injury was relatively severe. But, if he heals from it, I would take a risk on him.

Screw LaDanian. I don't want to see him here. If Shanny was here I could see it but not now.

There's only ONE LT, Lawrence Taylor, who broke beer pitchers on the counter at a bar and ate the glass.

What does Shanny not being here have to do with this topic? I'm not high on the idea of getting him either as I posted--I don't get why that's relevant.

I'd like to see a quality back taken in the second or 3rd round of the draft--then have that pick split carries with Hillis and Alridge. Think it would be a potentially deadly combination. Speed, power, and hopefully all-around rookie 20-carry guy to go with McDaniels spread offense. I know that would be high--but we have a lot of picks. Spend that one pick on the offense and the rest on defense. LT could fill the role, but only as a stopgap. Although the Patriots got by pretty good with Corey Dillon the stopgap...

01-16-2009, 11:44 PM
Shanny always tried to take that route and it rarely worked. Look at how he always tried to quick fix the DLine. The Browncos, Simeon Rice and Sam Adams? That's the tip of the iceberg.

Then there's Travis Henry.

Denver needs to Draft some RBs. Not go after a guy like Tomlinson. I could see him somewhere else but I would NOT want to see him here.

While Shanahan did have the final say on Simeon Rice and Sam Adams, I can't but think that he was heavily influenced by Jim Bates.

sorry but I don't want him on our team. He'll criticize our coaches when things don't go his way, and come playoff time, he'll conveniently get hurt, and won't do us any good anyhow. thanks but no thanks.

i'm going to disagree with 90% of the people in this thread. dont get me wrong i really cant stand the chargers but i think lt is a special back. he has ran for over 1000 yards for the past 8 years and is only 2 years from a 31 td season. no other back on our roster can touch the skills that this guy has, sorry this isnt debatable. i love hillis, but im going to give that a big fat no.

then you have to wonder is lt really doesnt like rivers. if he is sick of playing in san diego where they just cant seem to get to the big game. this year was the only year he rushed under 300 attempts and still managed to get 12 tds. so if the opotunity came to snag him for a 4th rounder we would be abosolutely crazy not to get him. my hope is we look to the draft for a rb but seriously lt for a 4th rounder guys??? cmon!

Rushing Attepts: 292 Rushing Yards: 1110 Average Per Carry: 3.8 Longest Run: 45 TDs Rushing:11 Receptions: 52 Receiving Yards: 426 Yards Per Reception: 8.2 Longest Reception: 32 TDs Receiving: 1 Fumbles: 1 Fumbles Lost: 0

They may not be as good as they were 2 seasons ago, but he is not washed up. I guarentee you that San Diego is not even considering letting him get away.

He don't even need reviving he just needs a healthy season. If he gets traded he will have a chip on his shoulder and might actually play through the playoffs.

"SAN DIEGO -- The Chargers appear to be bracing their fans for the possibility that LaDainian Tomlinson's brilliant eight-year run with the team could be over.

According to the team's Web site, club president Dean Spanos called the star running back Thursday to discuss reports that the Chargers might part with Tomlinson, who has been slowed by injuries in the last two playoffs and will count $8.8 million against the salary cap next season.
Harry How / Getty Images
Chargers president Dean Spanos hinted that the organization might be reconsidering its options at running back, as LaDainian Tomlinson has finished the last two seasons nursing injuries on the sideline.
Tomlinson's rushing statistics since 2004
Season Yards Avg. Per Carry Touchdowns
2008 1,110 3.8 11
2007 1,474 4.7 15
2006 1,815 5.2 28
2005 1,462 4.3 18
2004 1,335 3.9 17

"We talked about the situation, and I just tried to explain everything that must be considered," Spanos said in a story detailing the offseason decisions the team must make. "I told him we haven't even started our discussions and won't for a while, so don't jump to any conclusions. And I told him I would call him personally to make sure he's aware of everything that's going on."

Tomlinson, the NFL MVP in 2006, missed the Chargers' playoff loss at Pittsburgh on Sunday with a groin injury. That, coupled with the lowest rushing total of his career, has led to speculation that the team might try to trade or even release L.T.

Tomlinson, who turns 30 in June, is under contract through 2011. Slowed by toe and groin injuries, he gained a career-low 1,110 yards in 2008. Two seasons earlier, he set NFL records with 31 touchdowns -- including 28 rushing -- and 186 points.

The team declined to make Spanos available for further comment. Tomlinson didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment."

He should offer to take a pay cut. He's finished and will never be the same dynamic player as in 2006, let alone a workhorse featured Back. I think he's done, and if he does end up being released, I do NOT want to see him on a Broncos sideline.

wouldn't give up a thing because i don't want that classless crybaby team wrecking, cancer on this team, or anywhere near this team.

if he knew what was good for him, he'd retire before he gets seriously hurt.

It'll be interesting to see him in action after the toe heals...if it heals. He still had a solid year on a partially delated tire. I don't necessarily want him here, but it may be premature to write him off.

It would never happen, but if Denver was a legitimate trade destination for him, I'd look into it. Imagine the chip he'd have playing against the Dolts

Sure it's a possibility, but the probability is extremely low.

did not read the thread, but at this stage I would rather a young RB
over a beat up LT.

LT running in the ZBS will give him something hes never had: the system that brings his skills to the highest productivity. His vision, power, agility, speed and desire are more than enough even at this point in his career to make him a force in Denver. As for the injuries, hes never been an injury plagued player. He had one injury last year in the playoffs, and this year he was dealing with turf toe all season. Turf toe, by the way, can lead to other injuries when you force yourself to play on it. You tend to overcompensate in other areas in the way you run. Ways you dont normally run. And thats why I think he pulled the groin.

He was more than often sitting on the sidelines cause they were trying not to overuse him, but sitting on the sidelines cools you down. When youre older, those cool down times are shorter and significantly more dramatic. Then they throw him back out on the field, and hes cooled down already...........recipe for injury.

All one has to do is look at his last game against us, and when he was in there, his running was powerful. He was every bit as explosive as he ever was.

Id take him here with the chip on his shoulder...............but only at the right price.

At the most, a third or fourth.

i do not agree that that LT is done. Thats what everyone said about LJ and all of his carries he had 2-3 years ago. Then he got hurt- took it easy on his body and came back and had a pretty good year this year when the cheifs were smart enough to use him more than 10 times a game.


LT will bounce back, obviously not for us, but if we could i would give up a 2nd for him and not think twice.

I should clarify...


Don't write HIS CAREER off. He won't be a Bronco.

A piece of moldy bread, a warm opened beer, and half a smoked cigarette.

Yep, that's what i'd give up for LT.

The only way I would look at LT is after the Dolts let him go...talking to him to see if he has a major "chip" on his shoulder to proove to them they were wrong.

Otherwise...I would stay away from him. The guy was awesome at one time. The best to be more exact. But over the past few years, you can tell he just doesn't have the heart for it and he can't seem to "man-up" when he needs to.

Here's the thing, I wouldn't doubt if he had chip on his shoulder if Chargers kick him to the curb but can he stay healthy?

Good point. But I think that he could have played through some of it. I think his head just wasn't in the game for whatever reason. It just seemed like he just didn't care.

I bet LT still has a lot of life in him. I doubt they cut or trade him. I'd look for him to restructure and stay. Plus, he has been pretty outspoken about the Broncos, I don't think he would even want to play here.
