Fan in San Diego Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Signed a one day contract with the Chargers to retire as a Charger. Will miss seeing him play. who are the RB's for the Jets now?
DrDawkinstein Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Good Luck, LT. Seems like too many players have a hard time with post-NFL life. RB for the Jets is Shonn Greene, I guess?
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 LT was the only running back the Jets have had recently that caused any disturbance for defenses... I'm not afraid of Shonne Greene but that other guy they have looks pretty quick. I forgot his name I just know he does damage on special teams kick returns... Oh I believe its Joe McKnight...
todzilla Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 In his prime, LdT was as good as it gets. Really fun to watch him play. What a nose for the endzone.
San-O Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 On the radio talk show out here with info. and interview snippets. His last 100 yard game was against the Bills as a Jet, ran all over the Bills for 7 yards/carry average. http://www.nfl.com/player/ladainiantomlinson/2504778/gamelogs?season=2010

Joe McKnight is the name you can't remember. Looks like he could be a good 3rd down back moving forward. Very good special teams player as well. I'm gonna disagree. The Jets running game under Rex Ryan has sucked since they let Thomas Jones walk. Jones is at the end of his career now as well, but on Chicago and on the Jets and for a short time in KC was a monster Edited June 18, 2012 by Stealth
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Did Spiller get to work with LT in the offseason as he had said they wwere going to at the end of last year?

Dorkington Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I wish him the best of luck! He was awesome to watch on the Chargers during his peak.
DC Tom Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Signed a one day contract with the Chargers to retire as a Charger. Will miss seeing him play. who are the RB's for the Jets now? Doesn't matter who the Jets' RBs are now. They're still projected to go 11-5...and underachieve at 7-9.
Rico Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I will always remember him for his gutless performance against the Pats in the 2007 AFC Championship game... especially when compared to Philip Rivers who was a warrior that day. Absolutely ridiculous to see Peter King rate him above Thurman in today's MMQB.

Bud Adams Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I loved LT and will miss him. Unbelievable nose for "the hole" and the end zone. Won me numerous FF leagues. I'll never forget Draft Saturday in 2001 -- I was driving from Los Angeles to San Jose, listening live to some AM station. I was amazed that San Diego got Tomlinson AND Brees -- both of whom are sure to be first-ballot HOFers. BA
Rico Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Check out the "action figure" i linked that commemorated that great moment. That should be him in Canton after his 1st year of eligibility, sitting in the crowd and waiting.
zow2 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 When i think about Ladanian retiring, it makes me realize how special Fred Jackson is physically to be playing at this level (and how quickly a RB can fade after 30). Fred is only like a year younger than Tomlinson. Now i agree that Ladanian has more "mileage" on him but you can't ignore the fact that Fred played 18 games a year in Arena League ball and NFL Europe in his early pro career.

Absolutely ridiculous to see Peter King rate him above Thurman in today's MMQB. this. I have thought this since then also. When the Chargers needed him, he was no where to be found. Looking like a whining little brat in the sidelines. Not that he wasn't great in his prime but from that game on he has been a joke. Not relied on, not clutch, not worth his reputation. IMO he also tons of help from the offense being based around the running game and quick passing to the RB and the team and offense he played on.

Absolutely ridiculous to see Peter King rate him above Thurman in today's MMQB. Yeah, because Thurman never quit on his teammates in a big game........
