Lavar In 2008
 

I just heard Lavar hint that he will play for the skins in 2008. I hope that is true. We need him to take the place of MacIntosh, till he recovers and I dont think Godfrey, will be back. Bring back Lavar!!

C'mon dude. Enough of the Lavar BS.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

The answer is no.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Until there is some link this is locked

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Ok, I'm reopening this thread. TO Killa says he heard on Comcast he might come back next year and might play for the Redskins.

Personally I think this thread is idiotic and pointless. LaVar is always hinting (usually half seriously) about coming back to play. And he better publicly apologize for calling Gibbs the worst coach he ever played for before he steps back on the field as a Redskin. And he'll never be a Redskin again (except to sign for a day and officially retire as a Redskin) because even without Rocky the team is better off without LaVar who never grasped the system (mainly by choice) and especially because his knees are shot and he can barely walk let alone put pads on and play NFL football.

So in summary: Waste of a discussion, but I'll keep it open (until another mod locks it)

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Not sure how much he has left. He has some bridges to mend too, but it would be nice to see it happen.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

If he can earn a roster post I'll welcome him with open arms.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Not sure if he still has the knees to play. He was one of my favorites, but I'd HATE to see him come back as a party favor only. He needs to be able to play.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I might be crazy for thinking he will come back, but he was the only bright spot on the Redskins for years. He was every fans favorite player. Then we got Sean, then he was taken away. Well, Lavar is still here and I still love him. If he can still play, he will be a bargain and Snyder will make a boat load of money on him. Believe me, a boat load and that iwill be a motivating factor.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Well, at the very least, a lot of Lavar fans would buy his jersey and you know he won't have #56 again.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I think it would be great!!!!! I would love to have Lavar back as long as he is well behaved and a team player. I think he has grown up a lot! :) I like Godfrey

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Why would he not have 56?

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I don't want him back. Sorry, but he was the "best thing" to happen to us during a lot of losing seasons. What good is that? He burned a lot of bridges because he was too stubborn and arrogant to follow orders and take some criticism. Plus, as has been mentioned, his knees are shot.

Time to move forward, not backward.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Well, the Redskins realized that a Dale Lindsey messed up the relationship Lavar had with the team. They fired him, and I think that had alot to do with the Lavar situation.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Dude LAVAR is done, he is old and always injured, he had 1 good year with us and that was basically it.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

[QUOTE=T.O.Killa;402762]Why would he not have 56?[/QUOTE]

1- Snyder and Lavar will want to make money off it.
2- We WILL get another LB, likely before Lavar would be signed, so #56 is sitting around waiting to be taken.
3- #56 is popular among LB's.
4- Less likely, but the way Lavar's tenure ended, I doubt he would want to be connected to that with the same number.

I like the enthusiasm from a fan, but seriously, the odds are slim to none here.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

He is 29, and played very well for 4 years.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

The chances of LaVar coming back are slim to none.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

[QUOTE=T.O.Killa;402776]He is 29, and played very well for 4 years.[/QUOTE]

He knees are like 60 years old though.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

He is 29 and, maybe he's not done. Comcast is replaying the post game show, Lavar says it at the end. It is coming soon.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

[QUOTE=T.O.Killa;402800]He is 29 and, maybe he's not done.[/QUOTE]

His knees are those of a 60 year old, and if he wasn't done, he'd be playing right now.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

He tore his achillies tendon, thats why he is not playing now. Not to mention he got in a bad motorcycle accident and broke his leg.

Well, obviously there is no convincing you that it's a 99.9999999999% probability that he won't be back, so I'll let this die.
Good luck, I hope you get your wish.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

he's junk....injury proned with a bad attitude..keep him out

I'm all for second chances. If the guy has anything left in the tank and wants to play in washington, I'd be happy... He did have excellent football instincts. I know he didn't fit GW's system, but GW re-worked his system in order to let his guys make plays, because he felt him hindering his players is one of the reasons they finished so low last year.... I think he could probably take Godfrey's place, and Mcintosh may not be back next year.

Maybe it wouldn't be moving backward... maybe it would be like bringing Smoot back...

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

I think Rocky's knees, with a torn ACL and MCL in one of them, are in better physical condition than Lavar's at this point.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

If you bring him back, you sign him to a minimum and use him as a situational player, if he shows that he can still play (you never know he's been out for 1.5 years) Maybe all that rest helped him heal some? Who knows, only a tryout will tell us. He'll also have to kiss the FO ass to mend that bridge.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Lavar does not have cartilage in one of his knees anymore. The body does not heal this condition. So the only thing Lavar's body has done during his 18 months of downtime is get fat.

Maybe he can be an OG, :)

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;402849]Maybe he can be an OG, :)[/QUOTE]

Well, I hear the offensive playbook is much thicker than the defensive one, so I don't know if that would fly. :)

I really don't have anything against Lavar. He was a good player for the Skins for a few years. His knees are shot and I just don't believe it's a good idea. I may be totally wrong. Just an opinion on what I know of his condition.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

probably gonna get bashed for posting this, but take it as a pipe dream type thought. we all saw how moved lavar was at the funeral for taylor. he was devistated to say the least. WHAT IF he wants to come back to the skins to play for the team with a renewed passion. would be pretty sweet, not likely but hope you get what i'm saying. just a prayer

I think he misses the attention, he saw how many people loved Sean by number of people at the funeral. He wants to be loved and idolized, he misses it!!

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

come back... then my probowl signed jersey will be worth something again.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

He needs to learn how to ride a sportbike before he comes back.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

How do any of you guys actually know his knees are bad? Are you his friend or have you even met the guy lately? If he wants to come back then there is probably some sort of indication he is nearing playing condition. Anyhow, I would welcome this with open arms. Lavar was a beast when healthy. Yes he needs to play with more discipline, but he was an undisputed playmaker for our defense where people would try to avoid him on the field.

Do you guys even remember how Aikman retired??

Anyhow... I dont understand why some of you guys have such personal angst against a man you never even met or played football with. It's pretty silly.

You were right the first time.Lavar is over you need to move on...............and make him sell the motercycle!

When did anyone ever say he has no cartilage in one knee? Please elaborate.

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Look, in 2003, when Lavar got his mega contract, he was thought of as a premier linebacker in the NFL. He never had reconstructive knee surgury that I know of, just orthroscopic knee surgury. I am not saying he will be the super star he was, all I am saying is that if he wants to play, give him a shot. If we dont, someone will and maybe he turns out to have another great season, or two left in him. He will probably go to the to the Patriots and be another low priced superstar for them. It costs the Redskins nothing to give him a shot, and furthers the team-family spirit. I am done with this post, because I cant believe the people that screamed and yelled when he came on the field can talk so bad about the guy. As much a Dale Lindsey maligned Lavar, he was a key to us winning our last 5 games. He stuffed the run. Come back Lavar!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Lavar In 2008
 

Without a link, even if mentioned on Comcast, I'm inclined to think this is rumor only. But honestly, if true, I would not be opposed IF the situation is right, simply because we're in dire need of LB help next season. You can address LB without Lavar, and I'd probably prefer getting a decent one in the draft over Lavar (I'd prefer the youth). But under the right circumstance, it could be a good move. First, he's got to pass a medical exam, our team docs need to give a good report on the knee. Second, he needs to pass one of Gibbs/Williams conditioning tests that they give before signing players. And third, he needs to come at a very low price. If any of those conditions aren't met, it's a very bad idea.

We need LB help. A draft pick would be better, IMO. But we do need it.

All that said, I'm relatively certain this is all rumor.
