There is really no revelation in this post. LT IS done as an elite back. You could see it last year, you could definitely see it in preseason, you could see it in game 1. He's just a straight-ahead, downhill runner now. The best thing he has going for him is his situation and he can catch.
He is a loudmouth loser on WFAN here in NYC. He is Bill Parcells little bi**h
Wait, wait.....I know this guy. he had a terrific baseball career. Oh, to remember the glory days of getting cut on JV baseball.Wait a second...you're letting Mike "Mic'd Up" Francesa reshape your view on a player?
You're better off not knowing who he is. He's a complete #####.
Why do you correct people's spelling? I forgot the e, big deal. If I wanted an english lesson, I'd ask my dad, who taught it for 35 years. i type as fast as I can. Im not trying to win the grammar award over here. I dont like Tomlinson because I think he is cocky and arrogant. I didnt like his reaction to the Pats celebrations a few years ago. Awfully childish. Yes, I a have a biased view.For what reason do you loathE LT?thehornet said:I am not an LT owner and I shockingly have never owned him in any league ever. Wow, that's actually crazy looking back on it.
I loath LT, but even I am saddened by his downfall. There is no denying he was one of the best ever fantasy football assets. he will be missed, like him or hate him.
good day
I agree with this (and yes, nervous LT owner here). We won't know anything until we see LT run on a healthy ankle. The haters who point out that he was a sissy for constantly taking himself out of the game last night seem to be ingoring the fact that he turned his ankle. I read an article that described LT's limp as fairly "significant" after the game, so it wan't a minor tweak but probably more a full-fledged roll. Let's stop elbowing the women and children out of the way of the lifeboats, calm down, and give this a few weeks to come more fully into focus. Is LT going to be a Top 5 this year? Probably not. However, I do think he can be a Top 12 - 15 (which is where I drafted him). Norv commented during camp that he thought LT would have an outstanding year and, prior to his ankle roll in Q1, he was getting all of the touches out of the SD backfield. I think Norv will continue to feed him if he's healthy and he'll get enough touches to justify what I paid for him. I, for one, am not going to panic nor sell low on this guy.craxie said:
He is the guy that ate Chris Russo. Without Russo he is nothing but extremely large dead weight.Who is Francessa?
I said this most of last year until I realized he isn't the same. You will get what you saw last night all season. He's a RB2 that was drafted top 7. I won my league last year despite having LT last year, not because of him. I was off him this year, in fact way off him. I respect the opinion of FBG's but I just didn't have LT in my top tier of RB's, I just didn't see him as a top 10 pick.I only posted because I can't tell you how many posts there were almost exactly like this one about him last year.The truth is, he's no better than the backup. They make a solid tandem together because Sproles isn't an every down back. Gone are the monster days LT2 would put up. He's a RB2 that was overpaid for. If you go into your matchup with him as a RB2, you won't be as disappointed, that's what he was for me last year. I was lucky to pick up Pierre Thomas on the waiver wire just as he started to make his end of the season run to act as my RB1.
it happens all the timeafter 7 years in the league, walter paytons yp dipped to 3.5 and the next year he only played 9 games. he then had a resurgence for the next 5 yrs.
And here is where the real problem lies. These two statements are incompatible, and misleading. High upside RB2's are not "done". Those who drafted him in the first round may be dissapointed, but unless he gets hurt and goes on IR, they aren't "done" in their fantasy leagues either because LT will generally still put up numbers worthy of a fantasy start.
I don't know why this is even a topic. LT could not even make it through the first game. LT is done
Exactly. As long as half of your league doesn't believe it, I would look for one of those guys and sell.I don't know why this is even a topic. LT could not even make it through the first game. LT is done
Curtis Martin in 2004 comes the closest in my opinion. As far as LT, watching last night he really looked like he had lost a couple of steps in my opinion. Maybe it was just the ankle but he never looked like he had much burst even at the start of the game. He looked old to me. Just one game and again, maybe the ankle injury was the reason but he didn't look like LT. He looked like an old LT.
Well, let's hope he keeps his word from this point forward.....still say better an injured ankle than a coach's decision. LT still has a great chance to make the haters eat crow......
