I ran a midseason review of our league and declared him as the bust of the draft. Then I benched him for Braylon Edwards.His effort was pretty much gauranteed.
Please don't discount my first ever benching of LT in favour of Ricky Williams. You didn't do this all by yourself.I ran a midseason review of our league and declared him as the bust of the draft.

Nice evaluation.
"NOTHING left"..........please refrain from further comments about football. Thanks.
Sure, if you're in a tard league.
I agree. 3.3 ypc
Nice job! Any other keen observations?
oh well
"culdeus"..........way to be a man.
I'll take "done" with 96 and 2 tds while experts like you go with safer picks. Lots of luck!MagnumYou Tomlinson's agent? He's done, dude. Done.
Obviously, you didn't watch the game. LT has slowed down, he's not the same player, but he's not "done". As for Fantasy Football.........he still has value. In my 12 team, non ppr league.....Tomlinson has an "average" of 9.6 points per game and ranks 20th for "average points per game" (that he has played in.....and that includes a 1 point game verse Pitt and a 2 point game verse the Giants). At his current "points per game" rank of 20th...........that makes him a low end RB2 which means..........LT HAS VALUE.MagnumYou Tomlinson's agent? He's done, dude. Done.

Tomlinson having a decent statistical game is a blind squirrel finding a nut now. 
Yeah, it's real easy to point your finger and talk smack now, but when he was putting up those 1 and 2 point weeks is the real reason this thread was created.
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that I still predicted 1000/10 from his way back then.Probably going to be wrong, though not by much...
Maurile, as one of the Chargers backers here, what the word on Hardwick going forward? Have to imagine that helps LT to continue on an upward trend.
I'll go ahead and assume you have a hard time understanding numbers, rankings, and statistics.Obviously, you didn't watch the game. LT has slowed down, he's not the same player, but he's not "done".

He was originally expected to be back in week 11 for the game in Denver.But last week he was a bit ahead of schedule. With an eye toward possibly playing against the Eagles, he practiced in the middle of the week -- and had a setback. So he was inactive again yesterday.I'm not sure where that leaves him for this week's game. We'll have to see if he can practice by Wednesday.
Ohh I sure do.I'll go ahead and assume you have a hard time understanding numbers, rankings, and statistics.Obviously, you didn't watch the game.

Another update: Hardwick is now hoping to be back for the game against Kansas City.
If you rank him according to total points he's #31 in my league. I prefer to use average points per game and he's sitting at #23 in my league. Not what I was hoping for when I drafted him but honestly with the lack of holes I don't see where it is LT2's fault. Many were calling for LT2 to be benched and were giddy when he got hurt so the prodigy Sproles could hit the field. Of course Sproles couldn't do anything with the horrible run blocking either so his supporters simply went back to hammering LT2. LT2 may have lost a step, but from the games I've seen he's still good. If anyone needs dirt thrown on them it's the Chargers offensive line.
LT2 has not show the incredible balance he once had, but he is still fine. The OL is most of the issue; if he were in the Jets backfield people would be loving him. I also want to point out that Norv is a moron. They are so predictable. I have no idea why they don;t use LT2 on wheel play or other passing plays. they are too predictable.
He has lost some of his balance as well as his patience. He's running up the backs of his offensive linemen too often instead of waiting for the play to develop. I think he'll get his patience back as soon as the line starts blocking a bit better -- i.e., as soon as they give him some holes that are worth waiting for.His lack of balance, though, is probably not going to be cured.He does still have the quickness and moves to be successful if he's given a hole. It'd be nice if he could break arm tackles more easily, but at age 30, he's not going to do everything as well as he used to.
I felt that LT2 would play until 32 because of his great vision. I still beleive that, but his line needs to do something for him. Guys like Curtis Martin and LT2 have/had great vision and I don;t think goes away as quickly as the physical part.He has lost some of his balance as well as his patience.

No but seeing something doesn't necessarily mean that you're able to get there anymore.I felt that LT2 would play until 32 because of his great vision.

EXACTLY! All the nimrods that continue to write "done"..."no value"....are moronic. Unless you play in a 6 team league.........LT has VALUE!In the last 4 weeks, LT has scored 18, 1, 21 and 11 - average of 12.75 per week.That's the equivalent to an RB in the 10-15 range.That's a good trend.
The big changes this year are that he's not getting receptions (which seems strange, given how good a receiving back he is), and they're not riding him in put-the-game-away situations. He got just 13 carries and one reception against KC; if they gave him 10 more carries against a tired defense he'd probably make 100 yards.Those factors don't appear to be changing; it looks like we can expect 15 carries and 1 reception per game from here out. But he does get the goal line work in a good offense.
Except he fumbled at the goal line. Nate is my kicker as well. I went from getting 7 points to minus two for a fumble..a 9 point swing in a game I lost by four.
I had to play LT yesterday due to injuries..still not sold on him as a every week starter.
Since coming back from the bye week, here is how he has done over the last SEVEN weeks (standard scoring, no ppr):107.317.6321.613.315.4
In the last 5 weeks, LT has scored 18, 1, 21, 11 and 16 - average of 13.4 per week.Still a good trend. Whether they've improved their blocking schemes or playing easier opponents, he's still staying in my lineup.In the last 4 weeks, LT has scored 18, 1, 21 and 11 - average of 12.75 per week.That's the equivalent to an RB in the 10-15 range.That's a good trend.
