Re: LT says he was misused in SD

Well i Dont see LT quite finished yet. I mean the jets have 4 probowlers on the oline, and a Good Scat back and powerback. I mean thomas jones never broke out till he got to NY and LT has already been a great back just a couple years back. I mean the chargers didnt have a good 2nd guy and they have no oline

Re: LT says he was misused in SD

Fixed.

Straight butchered his name(Ladain) lol.

I'm hoping he was just shortening his name instead of writing it all out. If not, wow.

I mean Thomas Jones was a 1,000 yard rusher with the Bears.

I mean the Chargers had Darren Sproles (and Michael Turner if you're talking about previous years).

I mean the Chargers have a good o-line, just not a good run blocking o-line.

AKA he knew he couldn't beat out AP.

What RB's would beat out AP?

Yeah Bears fans were jumping off buildings when Jones left. He definitely didn't come out of nowhere when he went to NY. And Sproles/Turner have also showed their value.

I actually think the Chargers line is fine for run blocking... it just becomes difficult when you lose your All Pro center for basically the entire season. And when you have a QB that can mask the effects of losing that center, you give him the ball more.

I think he would've said LT If he really wanted to shorten it. I can see how the name can be a little tricky by the way it sounds but, that was the first time I seen It spelled like that. Usually when people spelled his name wrong there were a few more letters in the mix. I got a little chuckle out of it though lol.

Tomlinson: Jets are better than any Chargers team

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 28, 2010 7:25 PM ET
It's been too long since LaDainian Tomlinson said anything that annoyed his old team in San Diego. He joined the Scott Van Pelt Show Thursday to end the dry spell.

"Yes, I have been on some very fine teams. But I want to tell you this is the best team I've been on, top to bottom, talent-wise, coaching staff-wise, organization-wise. The whole nine," Tomlinson said via Thurman Thomas' best buddy, Tim Graham of ESPN.com. "This is the best opportunity I've had to win the championship."

That's where we disagree. The 2006 Chargers were loaded. They entered the playoffs at 14-2, on a ten-game winning streak. They out-scored the rest of the NFL by 65 points and had a top-eight defense. They just gagged at home to a flawed Patriots group.

Perhaps the Jets can stand out like those Chargers teams, but they have long way to go to separate from the rest of a packed AFC.

This much we know, however: The Jets are better than the 2010 Chargers, and LaDainian Tomlinson is far better this season than we ever expected.

Thoughts?

He needs to shut up.

Re: LT says he was misused in SD

He is correct.

[Scottdau]

LT was a beast. How can you say he was not that good. I think he had the best vision of any running back to play the game. Simply amazing what he was able to do in his prime.

Exactly what I thought in my mind.

Re: LT says he was misused in SD

No he doesn't. How many players do you hear say this all the time? "This is the best team I've ever been on". Of course he's going to say that. It's not like it's that far-fetched either.

I agree that right now the '06 Chargers were better, but the season isn't over yet so who knows what will happen with this 2010 Jets team. Right now they're one of the best teams in the league though.

Re: LT says he was misused in SD

Perhaps it's not LT that needs to shut up but the people asking the questions. Of course, it's the media's job to beat a dead horse.

I think some of those Chargers teams were very good.
