Tell me the last time a top 2 or 3 running back was traded.
Then tell me what they got for him.

I am curious about what you think should be done about the offence?
Someone to catch the ball down field would help. Sureing up our O line would help.
We've been throwing 10 yd posts for 3 years now with the occasional screen to the RB. Tony goes for an occasional 15 yd pass with all of the yardage coming after the catch.
I think the Chiefs are fairly close to having all the pieces but there is a fine line there between close and not even close! We have a bunch of young guys and it's not necassarily rebuilding just because you have young guys. You can expect quite a few mistakes i would assume but to trade the backbone of your offense for a few draft picks seems a bit aggressive to me.
The two factors that most convince me that we should seek a trade, for L.J. are these.
1) Larrys value is peaked. He has been looking good, behind a strong O-line, and , previously, a great all-around offense. With all of that gone, now, this year would show another decrease in productivity. His value has been "balooned" by productivity in an offense that we no longer have.
2) Many Chiefs fans refuse to see Larry failure to put fourth effort, at times. But repetition of the games, with an open mind, to the possibility, reveals alot. Find the plays, where Larry is being asked to throw a block, or run, outide. It's not that he isn't good at it, more that he doesn't want to do it. And will put forth, a "Dieon Sanders, tackling" effort.
Ricky Williams to Miami, for two first round picks. That's the most recent time, that I know of.Quote:

1) So, you optimist of all optimists, is ready to throw in the towel on our offense huh?
2)How do you know he is not trying and may just not be a great blocking back? There are far far more backs in the game that can not block than there are that can! Or are good at it anyway!
3)Running outside comes down to play calling and style. And....your offensive line has A LOT to do with that as well. He is the type of back that waits for his block and if it's not there, well he's f*ed! He is a power back not a speed back.
Another prime example of the same type of back is the all time leading rusher in the NFL. Terrible to the outside!!! North and South style runner.
Ricky Williams? Do I even need to respond to this?
That one is gonna be popular. (The optimist thing.)
2.) It is easy to tell, when someone isn't trying.
3.) Christian Okoye used to slam into defenders, when going outside. Jerome Bettis did it. Czonka, Earl Campbell, Riggins, Jim Brown! It's effort. If he is as one-dimensional as you say, then he is certainly, not worth the money. Versatility.
