Frightening Thought...

Forgive me if this is old news, but on ESPN Radio today, on the 'Herd Show', Colin interviewed a writer who covers the San Diego Chargers. He was talking about LaDanian Tomlinson. Apparently, the running back, many believe would be considered the best in the NFL if it weren't for the team he plays for, said that he can't wait to get out of San Diego and will seek to be a Dallas Cowboy once his contract runs out.

Tomlinson said this around week 10 of last year, so again, if it's already been covered, sorry. I just don't remember hearing anything about it.

Certainly, it's nothing to worry about right now. But I'd sure hate to have to face him twice a year wearing Cowboy blue. That would really suck.

I thought it was Corey Dillon that said that, or something like it last year, not LT...

I do know that LT idolizes Emmit Smith and that playing with the hated Star on his helmet would make him a happy running back. Let's hope Marty trades him before he becomes a free agent.

I remember Corey Dillon saying that last year, but didn't know that about LT. LT is awesome, I think some people dismissed him early on because they thought "the Chargers gave up a chance to draft Mike Vick for this??"

Cowboyhater, good to have you aboard but what's up with you taking my sig?! It's all good, maybe it's time for me to come up with a new one anyway

Hey, that would definitely be pretty frightening. He could add an arsenal of weapons to what ever team he plays on. He can run, he can catch, and he is mega-talented. However, I don't imagine that the Chargers would just set him free to do as he pleases. They will probably slap him with the franchise flag and either try to get him to sign a long-term contract (unlikely, unless they somehow start winning) or trade him. Then it would just be a matter of who gives the most to get LT; hopefully it won't be the 'girls.

If I had to take one back to build a team around, it would be Tomlinson.

He's wasting away in San Diego.

Do you all think that Phillip Rivers will bring anything to the team? He is definitely a winner as has been evidenced by his football career all throughout high school and college, but does he really have any chance of making plays in sluggish San Diego offense. I could see LT allowing Rivers to shine as much as is possible over there (which of course may not be enough).

From everything I've heard, the offensive line is the key issue with the Bolts. Many argued, and still do, that they should have taken left tackle Robert Gallery in the draft this year. Eight of the eleven O-linemen from last season are gone, and common sense would say that Gallery would have helped Tomlinson even more, and could have provided at least ONE safe side for Drew Brees to depend on.

Some say that Brees could have been the guy if he had any O-line help. Phillip Rivers won't be able to do anything that Brees or Flutie couldn't do with the linemen he has protecting him.

just curious, but why LT over Portis? Portis is 3 years younger adn when talking about an RB thats alot....

Brees seems pretty limited physically, not much of an arm and below average size. The Chargers have obviously soured on him anyway with the Rivers selection, they also tried shopping him around.

I agree it all starts up front for the Chargers. Imagine what LT could do with a decent line.
