Ladainan: Officially a vaccum (1 Viewer)

[cstu]

Ok, I've been patient with the man poised for continued stardom this year, even a career year if you were to believe his hype. I've weathered the unexpected results his prescence has allowed the passing game to achieve. And I've even tolerated his groin injury. But after all that, all things considered, based on where he was drafted...

HE SUCKS.

Wow, that's hilarious. You look really stupid.

LT may not be domninating the league, but Deuce, Portis, and Ahman, who were typically drafted in the 3-6 range - are having significantly worse years so far, and they aren't playing through injuries Priest iosm though!)

True, but it still doesn't make me feel better for drafting LT early.

I don't understand this, either - who were you seriously considering instead that you passed on for LT, and why?Ask yourself that quesiotn - don't look to LT to satisfy that for you. I sense a lot of Priest envy folks got the number one overall and took LT instead of Priest and are now bumming b/c they were unable to build a good enough team around LT. If I get a weekly 14-20 points from my RB1, and FAR from disappointed.

Marc, I'm one of those people who took LT over Priest and I would do it again. Every pick is a gamble and I felt LT was a safer pick. Even though he has an injured groin he's still putting up good numbers and I'm not complaining. If you aren't winning, don't blame it on picking LT but on the rest of your draft. I'm going to be 6-1 after this week and 3rd in scoring even with LT doing what he's doing. I made good picks of Hines Ward, Thomas Jones, Andre Johnson and David Carr that are winning games for me.

Last year people claimed LT was the bust of the year, those that traded him regretted it. If you don't like the production this year and you think he sucks then trade him. I'm sure you'll have no problem unloading him.

1 Tomlinson,Ladainian 257.92 Alexander,Shaun 257.73 Barber,Tiki 257.74 Martin,Curtis 253.05 James,Edgerrin 244.66 Dillon,Corey 222.37 Davis,Domanick 216.28 Westbrook,Brian 205.59 Portis,Clinton 198.610 Holmes,Priest 197.9(Pretty amazing that Priest is still top 10, considering he only played in 8 games.)

LT2 is also the #1 running back in my league (6pt/TD, 1pt/20 yards rushing and receiving, .333 pt./reception) through Week 151. Ladainian Tomlinson 189.752. Curtis Martin 181.223. Tiki Barber 178.614. Shaun Alexander 178l.535. Edgerrin James 161.236. Dopminick Davis 157.827. Brian Westbrook 152.748. Corey Dillon 147.169. Priest Holmes 146.3210. Clinton Portis 130.3511. Bettis, 12. Pittman, 13. Green, 14. Johnson, 15. McGahee, 16. Droughns, 17. Dunn, 18. Smith, 19. Blaylock, 20. Goings

Sometimes folks forget it's a marathon, not a sprint. I also loved the Harrison sucks threads. True that both Tomlinson and Harrison COULD of had totally sick stats if LT was 100% all year and Marvin was still the only guy in the Colts O, but these thoroughbreds are at the top of their respective positions while others underperformed or are out for the year.

The problem with Harrison is that he got a lot of his points in only a few games. He was far from consistent. From an FF standpoint, his owner could very well be out of the playoffs, but when he won, he won big. That means jack crap, for the most part.

WRs as a group tend to score erratically anyway - it's not just Harrison. IMO, the definition for "consistent" is different for WRs than it is for QBs or RBs (from a FF perspective).Here's Marvin's weekly scoring in my league: 17.4, 18.8, 17.5, 14.5, 7.4, 26, 32.9, 14.1, 4.2, 14.9, 42.7, 20.6, 11.6, 18.3. His average is 18.6 ppg. He's had 3 weeks where he was well below his average (7.4, 4.2, 11.6) & 3 weeks where he's well above it (26, 32.9, 42.7). The other 8 weeks he's within 5 pts (a completetly arbitrary cut-off be me) of his average.Here's TO: 32.8, 19.6, 22.7, 25, 16.3, 30.9, 24.1, 12.3, 42, 10.4, 10.1, 31.3, 9.6, 4.4. Throwing out last week when he got hurt, he's averaged 22.1 ppg. He's had 4 games where he's scored more than 9 pts (since he's averaged 3-4 pts more than MH) below average & 3 where he's gotten 9 pts more than his average.Adding together his two biggest weeks, Harrison scored about 29% of his season total. TO scored about 26% in his two best weeks. Joe Horn: 24%, Mushin: 26%, Walker: 31%, Bennett: 36%, Holt: 26%, Chad: 27%, Wayne: 28%, Mason: 21% (these are the Top 10 in my league - Harrison's #6). So Marvin's numbers have been skewed a bit more than those of his peers by his big weeks, but not outrageously so IMO. By the way, LT is 3rd among RB scoring in my league, about 1.5 pts out of 2nd. He's scored over 20 points in each of the last 5 weeks (1/10, 6pt TD w/distance bonuses).
