DarthICE Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Get er' done Buddy??? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4936783
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Man...two years ago such a statement would have blown my mind. Cant believe how far he's fallen. Then again you could say the same thing about Shaun Alexander and Edge James.
PaattMaann Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 why would we be "gettin er done"?? lets not waste time/money/effort at a position that we are currently solid in...unless you are one of the loons interested or hoping in trading Beastmode, which aint happening...especially not to replace him with an aged, overpriced 3rd down back....
JohnC Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Get er' done Buddy??? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4936783 Going after a fading HOF back when the team is in the beginning stages of rebuilding a devastated franchise is absurd. The Bills presently have two backs who can adequately play the position. Why would LT want to go to a franchise which has little chance to make the playoffs and has OL and qb deficiencies?
NavyBillsFan Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Any betters out there that he signs with Pittsburgh or Dallas?
auburnbillsbacker Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Any betters out there that he signs with Pittsburgh or Dallas? I'd take the bet. I don't think he will go to either one of those teams.
Bring Back Kelly Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Can you say The Seahawks? They should pick him up. That will save them from drafting C.J Spiller. The seahawks could either go for LT or Lenwhale white. He did play for Pete Carroll.
CountDorkula Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Formerly great RB who is washed UP. Pass. LT meet Dan Snyder. He will go to Washington With Shannahan and his Running back by comittee
PDaDdy Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Going after a fading HOF back when the team is in the beginning stages of rebuilding a devastated franchise is absurd. The Bills presently have two backs who can adequately play the position. Why would LT want to go to a franchise which has little chance to make the playoffs and has OL and qb deficiencies? LT is done and he is done for a reason. He has had too many injuries and is WAY past his prime. Where would he fit in our rotation? Fred, Marshawn, LT....we don't have enough touches to go around for the guys we do have. It is only logical to assume it's another one of these guys that think player XYZ is a thug or whatever veiled "off color" name you want to use. It's typical. Lynch without question has definitely had some maturity issues but he is a good RB who was in the probowl as an alternate 2 years ago. He had the highest yards per carry of all probowl RBs and was the guy called in when the AFC needed a critical 4th down conversion. We are never going to get better if we keep getting rid of talent because our poor little feelings got hurt because these players aren't perfect gentlemen or actually demand to be paid what they are worth. I agree he is a risk due to his off field problems and that Fred is a better cut back runner and slightly better receiver. Is this because Fred Jackson is 29 and Lynch is 23? Something to think about people. Freddy better be more mature and more polished as a RB as he is more than 5 years Lynch's senior. That is 2/3s of a lifetime in RB years. That being said if we could actually find this guy a o-line that could open a freakin' hole in the running game he is indeed a BEAST! Let's worry about fixing our actual holes instead of creating new ones shall we?
Rico Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Chargers should've dumped him after the 2007 AFC Championship game, when Rivers proved to be a warrior and LT proved to be a chump.
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Any betters out there that he signs with Pittsburgh or Dallas? My bet is on New England.
MattyT Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 LT meet Dan Snyder. He will go to Washington With Shannahan and his Running back by comittee Shanahan isn't exactly known for retaining or obtaining top-name running backs.
JohnC Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Why soil a sterling career when it is obvious that he is a shadow of what he once was? Of course it is difficult to hang up the cleats he has worn for so long. But at this tail end stage of his career why be a pedestrian roll player for a relatively low salary. LT is a person with a lot of pride. He would be miserable having a very secondary role.
dpberr Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I think he retires. I agree, I don't see LT taking a secondary role with a team, regardless of striking distance to the SB.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 this is not the "LT" that anyone at OBD should be "getting done". we dont need a running back. especially an often-injured, prima donna. we need a LEFT TACKLE first.
Malazan Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 he's got nothing, but mouth left. We have enough players like that.
