Forget Lavar, he's done. His knees are shot.

[quote=Schneed10;402903]Without a link, even if mentioned on Comcast, I'm inclined to think this is rumor only. I'm relatively certain this is all rumor.[/quote]


it's not a rumor, i also saw it. chick hernandez(sp) of comcast asked lavar if he was gonna return to football next season. lavar responded by saying something like "maybe, you never know. hey ,maybe even with the redskins. you'll have to stay tuned."

i'm not sure if lavar was joking around but he definately said it. i personally would like to see him come back to the skins.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Sounds like more of LaVar's "Look at me, Love me" routine. No thanks. Sorry, I just never got the LaVar Love that seemed to strike some people blind to his self serving routines.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Lavar is a beast when he rushes the QB. He had like 12 sacks when he played down. I don't know if he has any fire in the tank anymore but I would at least have him work out, we'd be dumb not to.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I'll believe it when I see it. Lets not forget Lavar got benched,went packing to the Giants,bad mouthed the entire Skins organization and the coaches. I don't think the Skins are that hard up to bring him back.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

[QUOTE=skinsfaninok;402768]Dude LAVAR is done, he is old and always injured, he had 1 good year with us and that was basically it.[/QUOTE]


Agreed....and personally I don't think he ever was that great. Or maybe it was that we just sucked during that time he was with us.

Why do moderators here feel they need to lock a dicussion just because they disagree or have a different opinion?

For the record I dont think LA will come back to the Skins nor do I want him to but nothing wrong with discussing it.

It's because this is a topic that's been discussed ad nauseam.

It has nothing to do with whether we agree with it or not.

Not sure why people like to make that assumption.

That's not why I locked it. We keep discussions open all the time that we disagree with. I'm tired of discussing LaVar but that is not why I locked the thread.

I locked it because there was no source or link to what T.O. Killa was saying. That's why I said provide a link and I'll reopen it. Killa PMed me that he saw it on Comcast but had no link (understandable since it was on TV), and so I reopened it.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Lavar's knee is shot, its pointless. I loved him to.. but it just doesn't fit well. He is always out of position and is kind of a free roaming guy. Can't say i'd be excited about him coming back

“People are enthralled with whether I am coming back or not,” Arrington said. “But I’m fine with it. It’s over.”

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

[QUOTE=T.O.Killa;402889]When did anyone ever say he has no cartilage in one knee? Please elaborate.[/QUOTE]

When all of this Lavar stuff was going down a few years ago, one of the member's here had an uncle who had seen Lavar's MRI. He was an orthopedic surgeon. His estimation at the time was that Lavar was done. Also, look for articles talking about Lavar's physical when he signed with the Giants.

All of Lavar's problems revolve around his knee cartilage. He had multiple surgeries to repair, remove, and replace the cartilage while he was here. His knee is basically shredded, with little to no hope of it ever getting any better.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

LaVar still wants to be a Redskin.. you can see it..

i say let him come back..we need the depth anyway at LB and it might give us some extra energy next season..

No.
It would be a waste of a roster spot.
Please realize Lavar will not play for ANY NFL TEAM EVER AGAIN.
Lavar does not have a knee injury that you recover from. Lavar has a chronic knee condition that with rest will start to feel better but he has no cartilage left in his right knee. If he runs or plays for any significant amount of time it will swell and be very painful. Nobody can play in the NFL for more than a game or two with the condition Lavar has in his knee.
End of story.

I want to be a Redskin too, but so what?

LaVar needs to prove he's healthy enough to even run, and then he needs to apologize to Gibbs and Snyder for bad mouthing them, and then he needs to learn that it's not all about him, and then he needs to just go away

F...LaVar

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Is it April Fool's Day already? LA coming back is the funniest thing I have heard in awhile. You can see on the CSN post-game show that LA's hand is f-d up from the motorcycle accident. I cant imagine what happened to his legs. LA had a decent career with the Skins but he's done.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Lavar Arrington? Seriously guys. It would make more sense for us to sign Monte Coleman or Kurt Goveia than to re-sign Lavar Arrington. Sorry, but he burned his bridges with the Redskins when he left.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Personally I think that Lavar could still be a could DE. Even if it is just a preseason project/publicity stunt to coincide with his restaurant opening.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Good player, but we have already been through this, why go through it again?

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I don't really have a feeling towards Lavar. I'd say if he was truly coming back, keep him through training camp and pre-season and see what he can do. If the knees are shot, cut him.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Are you kidding me??? Lavar sucks, and was always overrated. What good do you think Lavar would do for this team?

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Lavar kept his play book for the Giants to study
Wonder if he ever read it?

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Lavar has lived off of one play his whole career. And it was while he played for Penn State against Illinois. This dude was over for me when he signed with the Giants...I would'nt even want this clown on the Redskins, its bad enough he is on TV

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I have very little feeling about this either way. I liked him when he was here, but only for his big plays. If he is cheap, his knees are healthy, he can shut up learn the system and play in position, and can benefit the team, then sure, why not? It seems a no brainer. But that is a lot of IF's, and IMO I highly doubt it will happen.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

i dont want his bs. but when he did finally get on the field for us last time, he actually played alright. not the super freak from before his knees went to crap, but he wasn't bad.

the coach he hated is gone, and he'd be a vet min player (and easy to cut if there's drama).

that said, it's been forever since he played regularly, and i kinda doubt he's in great shape for football right now, or totally committed to making it work, but maybe the whole run here did something for him.

No actually I think you need to lighten up especially with accusations that we lock threads we don't agree with. That's simply not true and insulting to the mods here.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

what would a LaVar thread be with out my two cents. I personally think if the guy can play, what is the risk? He definately would come cheap, and like i said if healthy could provide some needed depth. He is only 29, with a year of rest on his body. He looked like he has bulked back up a bit from earlier in the year.

I think you should always give guys a second change. Some of these guys that screw up things early in their career look back and change their outlook and realize their NFL life can be cut short at any second, where when they are young and going crazy on the field, they feel indestructable. Look at Chris Carter as an example, he screwed up so much that he was kicked out of the NFL, then came back to mentor younger players, and played pretty damn good himself. No way am I comparing the two on the field, just saying young guys that have the NFL, their livelyhood, taken away from them early in life, they seem to come back and be good players and good mentors for younger guys. I am sure there are some other examples out there, just can't remember off hand.

if he is healthy, i say it wouldn't hurt to look at him. I believe, if he is thinking of coming back, he is working on building those burned bridges back up.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I'm convinced that Lavar reads the warpath a lot & his goal is to have the all time WP record for most threads. He probably already has the most, so now he's just adding to his total by saying things to entice new threads.

He's neck-and-neck with Patrick Ramsey.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

When I made this post, I listened to Lavar on Comcast, he said he might be back in 2008 and he went on to say maybe for the Redskins. He then went on to say watch Gregg Williams, he is a great coach and then again stressed watch Williams and winked into the camera. I got the feeling that he knew that Joe was going to retire and Williams was taking over. I believe that Williams already told Lavar that he wanted him back, if he could play. I wish I would have said this when I first made this post, but this has me convinced he will play for us again.

Ive said ealier in this post that Id love to have him back. I was to depressed to watch the entire Comcast Post Game Live Show.

As soon I heard about Joe steping down, my second thought was "well there goes the chance Lavar ever comes back" being my first thought was that GW would be the most likely to take over as coach.

I thought GW and Lavar hated each other. Did they make up or somthing?
