I'm still pretty sure LT will retire within the next few years, I remember I think last season it was when he was hinting towards retirement. Saying he doesnt wanna stay past his prime, like Barry Sanders. Probably not in those words exactly but he did speak on his future in the NFL and said there probably isnt many years left.

Even if this was fantasy land, I still wouldnt go after LT. I like the backs we have, as long as they can be consistent and I wouldnt want to block the development of Lumpy. I hope this kid has a future with this team, maybe him and Grant can be the Levens/Bennet combo we had in the SB years.

Well, the title of this thread alludes to Ted Thompson. Given the fact that he's shown he can squeeze a nicklel so hard that the buffalo shits, it's a foregone conclusion in my mind that LT will NEVER EVER be a Packer.

Should we want him? Absolutely.

And I remember a time not so long ago that it was other teams that were desiring the Packer's cast-off's and overpaid has-beens. Now we seem to be with them in the middle latitudes. Maybe we should call Jerry Jones to talk about acquiring a cancerous wide receiver I hear the Cowboys may be interested in dumping.

A year from now I expect a few mea culpa's from a few people arounf here who should know better.

Wait......am i wrong, or are you contradicting YOUR OWN POST????

I mean.......LT might still be good, or he just may be on his last legs. Would i want to dole out a fortune for a RB who might be done? Thats a HUGE chance to take. I don't think the payoff would be worth it.

We have MUCH bigger problems to address. Our O and D lines to start with.
If we don't fix the O-line, it won't matter WHO is running the ball.

People just say he's lost a step because he didn't get another rushing title.

Funny thing about 'people'. Usually when everyone is thinking something, its because theres something there.


He has a lost a step, I know. I watched him play. I had him on my fantasy team. I think the step he lost was due to injury, not talent decline. He has I believe one or two good years left in him.

Is he better than our stable of RB? I don't know for sure. Maybe he can't run in the ZBS junk we try to do. We also play four games against two teams who have very stout run defenses.

I'd rather see what Grant, Jackson and Lumpkin and do for us than trade away future talent for a guy who (i feel) only has two good years left in him, tops.

I think it's an interesting point that was brought up on NFLN: LT in the Marty ball years in SD is not the same LT we see now.

Ever since Norv Turner was hired, LT's stats have gone done year by year.

The NFLN analyst attributed this to one main thing: O-line. He said that the Chargers blocking scheme is not the same as it was under Marty, where they ran power blocking, initiating physical play (and the coaches wanted physicality).

According to the NFLN analyst, that's not the same type of philosophy that is on the o-line right now. If you think that's true, LT would be a lesser player for trying to play in our ZBS, because we know that outside of maybe two-three games a year our line is rarely physical.

I say no LT - if we wanted an aging injury-hampered RB we would have kept Ahman Green.

Hopefully Ted Thompson will stay away from him no matter what the critics say...He has lost a step and I think that is obvious to this past year.
