Matt and I are Sadly Vindicated
The Chiefs tried to trade Larry Johnson prior to today's trading deadline. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, they had no takers. Amazingly, no teams wanted to take on an overpaid, spoiled malcontent. Matt and I said they should have traded him two years ago, while his stock was high. Instead, King Carl gave $49 million guaranteed to a player who plays the most expendable position in the game. The Chiefs are going to be strapped with this for the next five years, even after King Carl finally gets the axe, and now they are realizing it.

Yes, I'd have to agree. Although I think LJ doesn't deserves all the crap you guys give him (he's still a good RB), you can't give a guy who plays best w/ a chip of disrespect on his shoulder (and who's coming off a 400 carry year) a huge contract. That's a recipe for a letdown. It's always dangerous to sink big time money into a RB, unless he's like 23, like AP or my boy Chris Johnson :)
Don't blame all this on LJ though, he's still a beast. You give him an average NFL offense line, and he's rushing for 1500 yards.
I hate having to defend the Chiefs, but they are in rebuilding mode, so none of this is poor play is unexpected. You guys will be right there in 2 years, and someone besides Carl Peterson will be reaping in all the glory. The Titans went through this exact thing like 3-4 years ago w/ an aging McNair and a very aging Eddie George. Then we were the youngest team in the league for like 2 straight years. Now we're undefeated. You can't abandon the team through times like this. Doing that would make you no better than Rams fans.....I just wish my Astros management would realize that its time to rebuild too...
I just wish someone in management would get a little realistic. Every article I read yesterday said there were offers for both LJ and Gonzalez, but "the price wasn't right". What?
I understand you can't give someone away, but if T Gonz asked for a trade, which appears to be the case, then now he's not going to be happy. The guy is way respectable to blow up and just phone in the rest of the season, but anyone would have trouble having their heart in a place they don't want to be.
And as for LJ...I would have taken anything...anything to get out from under him. Anything.
More surprising is probably the Chiefs' refusal to deal Tony G, even for a 3rd round pick: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8677684/Gonzalez-angered-and-baffled-by-non-trade
What, is Peterson afraid that dealing Tony G will drop the ticket prices for Chiefs' games on stubhub.com down to below $10 per seat? (down from the $11 per ticket I got for the TB - KC game in 3 weeks :)
Just to be clear, I believe I started typing MY comment about Tony G. before Matt did, I was just a little late on the trigger :)
You win again, Word Verification jumbled-up-mashed-together-distorted-letters. Well played....
I am all for the rebuilding process. I understand that these are rough times, but I like watching the young guns. That is why I am reluctantly agreeing that arguably the best Chief ever, Tony G, should be traded (I am 95% positive that he will be traded after the season and before the draft). I am just upset that now King Carl is trying to trade LJ, not even one and half years into a 49 million dollar contract, after a year and a half of mediocre play. I need to stop now, because I am getting fired up.
I think this could be an interesting early defining moment for Clark Hunt. The longer he keeps Peterson around the more he looks to the fans like he's in it for the money and not to win football games.
LJ is going to be the highest paid backup running back in the league by sometime next year.
I just feel bad for Tony G, he is a professional and deserves the chance to win we are clearly not going to give him.
