Re: LaDainian Tomlinson's Future

Honestly, he only has two options: go to a sellar dwellar and start or go to a capable team and be forced to share duties or be the backup. At this point in his career, age and slowed production & athleticism in the last few years, he doesn't have options. A lot of it sounds exactly like what Emmitt Smith went through with the "diamond surrounded by trash" comments where the man is merely frustrated.

When a RB is done in the league he is done. I'm not saying LT should hang it up but the end is very near. It's such a physical position that there is no coming back and rarely is their a rejuvination of their careers. Look at the more recent 1000 yard, household-named RBs who's careers simply just ended: Deuce McAllister, Eddie George, Rudi Johnson, Corey Dillon, Fred Taylor, Jamal Lewis, Edgerin James, etc and the common denominator is there is no fountain of youth or rebirth for a player at that position.
