Ladainian Tomlinson fantasy bust (1 Viewer)

[George Jefferson]

I've been taking some sculpting classes and have been working on LT's bust to enshrine him into the fantasy Hall of Fame in my garage....it's coming out real nice.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Before you dip it in bronze, let's just see if he can carry a team through an entire FF season, including the playoffs for once.

As an LT owner for 3 years running, I <heart> the guy. However, he is no Marshall Faulk in his FF prime.

 

[joffer]

However, he is no Marshall Faulk in his FF prime.

he's no William Green either

 

[Gr00vus]

However, he is no Marshall Faulk in his FF prime.

he's no William Green either

Now why'd you have to go and do that? Can't you see George is rehabbing here, and I for one think he's making great progress and encourage him to continue to put distance between himself and that episode with the running back who should not be named.

[Hands_on_the_Heisman]

Honestly... I've made over $1K in fantasy over the past 4 years with LT as my franchise back. Right now, I'm 4-1 and the only game I've lost all season is San Diego's bye week ( I have Gates, Kaeding and Turner as well). The addition of Michael Turner means less wear and tear on LT. And the way San Diego plays in the 4th quarter (meaning -- it's always an adventure) I expect LT to have a big second half of the season. He's carrying less of the load -- and I'm still winning games. Rivers had his break out game -- which means for the time being MartyBall might be out the window and this team will start playing agressively for 4 quarters instead of 2.

If you look around the league -- the two-headed monster at running back is EVERYWHERE. Hell, I've started Turner and LT together twice this season -- and won both times. And for the most part -- it's successful because it means the franchise guy is taking less hits.

The likely hood of LT staying healthy this season (for once) is extremely likely. Turner saves him from the pounding he takes every year. And when weeks 9, 10 & 11 roll around -- LT will start ripping off those 60- and 70-yard TD runs that inflate his stats and make us LT owners smile -- because his legs will be fresh for once after NOT touching the ball 35 times a game.

 

[cantrell]

Quit your whining! At least LT has scored a touchdown. I drafted Tiki and he still has a goose egg in the TD column.

The only time I should hear LT and LJ's names in the same sentence as bust is when we're talkin about MAN-BOOBS.

 

[Couch Potato]

I for one am pleased that George J. has a garage where he's set up a fantasy hall of fame.

George posts so seldom since the RB-whose-name-we-shall-not-mention hit the WW that I was wondering if he was homeless and just posting occasionally from the public library.

 

[dirtyhalos]

hes a top 5 rb in my ppr league and that includes a bye week.........i'm shuked

No way. George is a legend in these parts. Many a laugh has resulted from his steadfast belief in (won't say it). George is golden.

If you won't say it I will.Former Browns running back by the initials of WG. I always enjoyed his love of the guy.

 

[Gr00vus]

George is golden.

Yet he's working in bronze.

 

[Marc Levin]

Honestly... I've made over $1K in fantasy over the past 4 years with LT as my franchise back. Right now, I'm 4-1 and the only game I've lost all season is San Diego's bye week

Me, too - first time in my big $ league I've had a top-3 pick.Took LT and, so far, my only loss, and the only game I scored less than 80 standard FPs, was SD's bye week.He makes the other players on my fantasy team play better - and you can't put a price on that.

:whoosh:

What I mean is the last few years, LT brought me to the playoffs with great performances during the regular season, but fell short of carrying me through to a championship. Sore ribs & mediocre stats at the wrong time.I should have caveated the statement. Obviously, if you own LT and other "studs," I'm sure he did win championships for some guys. Not a hater. I currently own, and have owned the guy for many years.

You are either fishing or really misinformed. DESPITE the fact that we are talking about only a 2-3 week stretch during the season which means sample size and variance weighs heavily, your "for once" comments are baseless.2002:

Week 15: 123 total yards, 1 TD

Week 16: 157 total yards

2003:

Week 15: 195 total yards, 2 TDs

Week 16: 99 total yards, 2 TDs

2004:

Week 15: 106 total yards, 2 TDs

Week 16: 176 total yards, 2 TDs

Everyone seems to be basing their "LT sucks in the fantasy playoffs" comments based on his 2005 campaign when he didn't light the fantasy world on fire. #### happens in any given 2 week stretch.

This is what we like to call a well supported posting.

 

[Marc Levin]

I usually expand any playoff fantasy talks to weeks 13-17.

You need to include all those dates due to the variances in league play.

But, your point is well taken, Knowledge.

Especially when you're playing with a couple of cracked ribs.

Not fishing.You got the Week 14 breakdowns?

Edit: looked them up myself.

2002: 57 yards rushing, 22 yards receiving, 1 TD

2003: 88 yards rushing, 148 yards receiving , 2 TD

2004: 131 yards rushing, 19 yards receiving, TD

2005: about 75 total yards

Maybe 2002 and 2005 are sticking out in my mind because I did not own him in 2003. I've owned him in 2002, 2004, 2005 and, luckily, 2006.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Not fishing.You got the Week 14 breakdowns?

2002-200479 & 1236 & 2150 & 1His poor (for LT) showing in the 2nd half of 2005 is well documented and acknowledged. Using years 2002-2004, I'm confident his week 13+ fantasy performances stack up well against any other RB during those weeks.

 

[Marc Levin]

Knowledge is probably correct.

Last year was the only year LT vanished in the FF playoffs.

He KILLED me last season. I got by the 1st week, then died out the next. #### happens.

I take it you just read the title and quickly responded without reading the thread? Because you are way off track with your response. No one is talking about LT being a bust in this thread.

 

[Gr00vus]

I was hoping George would give us the update on his sculpture though....

 

[Bad_Mo]

While the sting is currently stinging worse than ever, I figured I'd dig this up to make a point.

In a year that LT was a man among boys, Week 16 was his third lowest scoring week of the entire season. 18 points is a decent day for most RBs, but LT has put up monster numbers in the 10 weeks leading up to Week 16.

Starting with Week 4, his FF point totals in my leagues are: 9, 8, 39, 25, 47, 45, 46, 49, 33, 38, 33, 42 and 18 (Week 16).

I appreciate the fact that he got me to the finals, but I'm left feeling a little slighted since I really needed him to come close to matching Steven Jackson's ( ) production.

If I have a shot to draft or trade for LT next year, I will. It just sucks that he failed to come up huge when I needed him most.

Maybe you should've built a better team around LT instead just riding his coat tails to the playoffs.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

And if your team is so bad that you needed another superhuman fantasy effort from LT to sustain your playoff drive, you don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

The other day I won the lottery. I won 17 million dollars. I am so mad right now because I know that i am going to have to pay taxes on that money and of course I am going to have to put up with all the people calling and asking for money. I really hope i can handle all of this extra stress.

Pretty hard to build a better team in a 14-team league when you have Vick, Rivers, LT, McAllister, Driver, Gates, Boldin, Gould, SD def., MIN def., MJD, Cotchery, Turner and Miller. The team isn't all LT.For those that don't agree, or like, what I have written, or the fact that this is bumped, too bad. Move along to another thread. This was bumped for a select few involved in the initial discussion.
