JETSFAN5180 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Has it been determined that he is injured or is there an internal problem with the coach.If this guy becomes available Id give up the #6 pick for him in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think I read he got hit on the knee on the first or second play of the game and suffered a sprained MCL or something like that. It was the same knee he hyperextended last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Oh really, you'd give up he #6 pick? Getting LT would take all of our draft this year, next year, and the next year after that. He was hurt; there's no problem with the coach or organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Michael Turner and Sproles dont be so quick to make assumptions.If Norv Turner wants him gone they will surely take this years #6 pick plus dumping his salary.Football is a business there is no loyalty.

Sperm Edwards Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The #6 pick for a RB who will be 29 in June & has well over 300 carries in the past 7 years in a row? And who sucked in half the games this past year with a far better OL than we've had here in some time? LT is a phenom talent. But this isn't 2003-2004. We're going into 2008 & his career will be over soon. No matter how great they were at one time, all RB's get old. They get slow. They don't heal as fast. And who says SD is even shopping probably the best player the franchise has ever had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who says SD is even shopping probably the best player the franchise has ever had? There was a thread on this after last year. I said they should have traded him before 07 (should have, meaning if someone was willing to trade the farm for the guy). what if a team was willing to give up multiple first rounders, and second rounders? that right there could be worth it, but chances are they may throw in a WR, or CB. Both are positions that the Chargers need, or needed i should say. I'm not too high on RB's, especially ones that have seen as many carries as LT. he'll probably have one or two great season, but the Chargers could set themselves up to be one of the most talented teams in the NFL for the next 5 years in trading him.

4HCrew Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 between his rant after the playoff loss last year, the fighting with Rivers, complaining about coaching and then standing on the sidelines with a puss as his team is fighting their hearts out, I lost some respect for LT.

It all depends on what really happened.If Norv Turner opted to go with Turner instead of LT on this big day theres more to this story.Stay tuned im sure.Id take him on the Jets anyday.

serphnx Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think LT might be done. He will still be an above average back for the next several years, but he will never have what he had last year again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think LT might be done. He will still be an above average back for the next several years, but he will never have what he had last year again. There is a long way from one of the greatest seasons ever by a running back to done. He doesn't have to put up his '06 numbers to be a top level back. He's still a hell of a lot better than "above average". To put it into perspective, this season he averaged more yards per carry than Curtis Martin ever did in any season of his career. His yardage would have been third best in Curtis' career (13 yards from second) and he had more touchdowns than Martin ever had in a seaon. Yet Martin is a first ballot HOFer.
