How sad is that? the Marquee player's most memorable play was an out of bounds late hit.

Be sure to include the games that he lost by leaving his assignment. NY Giants at home in overtime stands out when Jim Finn romped for about 30 yards.

I was at that game.

The team is better off without him and I am tired of everyone who is trying to create some nostalgia. Well guess what, there is none. Lavar's legacy is two straight 8-8 seasons.

Although I will always cherish the hit, it is ironic that Aikman (a hall of fame champion) had his career ended by a perrenial loser who wasted all of that potential.

Hey mental midget. Lavar is no longer a Redskin and he will probably end up with a star on his helmet since Philly signed Barber today. Like Hollywood Hogan said, "Either you are with us.......... or against us!!!"

seriously just chill big man

hahaha...hogan...

plus lavar will always be a redskin...he said he couldn't see himself wearing a cowboy uniform and he's classy guy the money doesn't matter as shown w/ the 4million we owed him plus he is thinkin about joinin antonio pierce in NYG. you don't have to prove yourself as a skins fan even if you hated a redskin. just because he's not a redskins anymore doesn't mean you can't like him. D. Green isn't on the skins still my favorite redskin.

PSUskinsfan11 03-08-2006 09:27 PM

Re: Lavar Tribute
 
why don't you put the highlight when he scored the td vs. carolina when they were 0-5 and he turned the season around, or maybe when he scored a td to beat the cowboys

Screw Stephen Davis??? he set is #2 and #3 on the skins singleseason rushing yds. He was a great skin.

lavar isn't going to dallas people need to read before they say stuff he is always gonna bleed the burgundy he said he couldn't wear the dallas uniform. He's prolly goin to NYG tho but no one will forget that knock portis gave out on that bucs LB in the playoffs.

Re: Lavar Tribute
 
I hope he goes to Dallas. You know Parcells wont put up with him when he cries. Plan and simple Lavar saw the writing on the wall. He knew he could not play here or did not want to work as hard as he had to, to be good. Thats is why he said that they can mold someone else. It is amazing how he said all this love about the Skins and not wanting to play else where or retire, then gets a change of heart. You can not tell me it was about money. It will hit him what a mistake he made when he is wearing a Cowpukes uniform walking out to play at Fed Ex. I think his burgandy blood is dried up.

i think you mean cowpukes (not a hockey puck) Its his job he loves to play and if he can play he's goin to if he can't play for the skins he even helped them out by relieving money owed to him. you don't know him i don't know him don't pass judgement on a guy who seems to have good intentions

Thanks I corrected the spelling. You are right I dont know him. He seems to be a good guy character wise. I think he could play if he really wanted to. The question is did he really want to play here? Maybe a change would be good for him with all the changes he has had to endure playing for the Skins. I will give you that. It just makes me sick for him to say how much he loves the Skins then says how he wants to come back 1 time a year and play. I guess it is just part of the modern day sports where loyalty is seldom ever seen by players.

Actually Lavar's most memorable play was the interception TD return vs. Carolina to end our 5 game losing streak and begin a 5 game winning streak under Schotty.

PSUskinsfan11 03-08-2006 11:11 PM

Re: Lavar Tribute
 
Let's hate on the only player that stayed on the team when we were terrible. Jansen, Samuels, and LA the only players that have stuck around. Even when there was an internal conflict LaVar didn't pull a TO and make it a distraction. When he left he payed back money to help the team. **** the haters

FRPLG 03-08-2006 11:29 PM

Re: Lavar Tribute
 
I like Lavar but I do think he was marginally overrated for us. Not that he doesn't have the talent to be a HOFer LB but one could hardly argue that in even his best seasons he was on his way to HOF. I still think the guy could be a monster LB in the mold of an every down play-maker like Ray Lewis was in his prime but he needs to work on some things to get there and I wonder seriously if he even realizes what his difficiencies are. I hope he goes on to be the LB he was here earlier or better as long as it isn't in the NFC.

Re: Lavar Tribute
 
I would be an obvious choice to do a video LaVar tribute, but I cannot waste my time on an ex-Redskin. I loved LaVar, but my feelings are so confused I can't do it. LaVar had some great plays. The four plays that stand out to me are:

#4 LaVar stuffs Curtis Martin in the JetSkins game.
#3 Lavar's INT in the TB playoff game.
#2 LaVar ends Aikman's career.
#1 LaVar returns an INT against the Panthers and saves Marty's job.

It would be interesting to see how many highlights vs how many out of position mistakes he had. I suspect many more of the latter.

Just so I'm clear.......you have a problem with a guy that actually gave the skins back $4 million? If he wanted to be a real a$$ about it, he would have made the skins cut him and take the cap hit. Instead he chose to leave like a professional and start anew somewhere else, without ANY harm coming to the Redskins. And you want to hate him for it? Do you even bother thinking any of these things through before you post? I mean, do you ever bother to sit back and actually try to use ration or reason?

And who really turned his back on who here? Lavar stuck with this team through its darkest days. He was an outstading citizen for the D.C. area. He showed nothing but love to the fans. He never threatened to test free agency. He never demanded a trade. He dealt with a revolving door of coaches and coordinators through the most crucial time in his career for developing into an NFL player...............And last year he was benched. He was second sting for a number of games and wasn't allowed to be an every-down player. Now I'm not going to rehash the wisdom of the coaches' decisions in that regard. That's not the point of this post. But from his perspective, who really turned their back on who here? Should we expect him to stay on a team that doesn't really appreciate or want him? Should we expect him to want to continue his career being allowed to play 70% of all downs or occasionally being benched? Why would or should we expect that of him? Or perhaps, just maybe, what happened here is that both sides realized that the current coaching staff and Lavar just don't fit with each other anymore. Doesn't matter whose fault that is, they just didn't fit. And so the professional thing to do, if you really love a team, is to leave, start somewhere else fresh, and make as few waves as possible in the process. Why you want to crucify a guy who voluteered to improve the Skins' cap situation on the way out is simply beyond me. Of course, blind hatred makes people say some pretty stupid shit, doesn't it?

The irony of a guy who quotes "Hollywood Hogan" to try to support his point calling someone else a "mental midget" is unbelievable.

My advice: take two ridilin and try making a point without insulting people. I mean I know Lavar isn't someone we should all look up to since he's not a gun-wielding thug like some other players, but there's no reason to get belligerent about it (fyi: belligerent means overly hostile or eager to fight).

Agreed. Lavar isn't perfect. He could have handled himself better last year and he could have fallen in line like the coaches wanted, but I don't see any reason to rip the guy apart. I don't want him to beat up on the skins when he plays us, but what harm comes from him doing well somewhere else? I just don't get people.
