Also, injuries have taken their toll, he'll likely never be the same. It's a shame really...he was "the next Lawrence Taylor".

LaVar may have had some talent, but to compare him to LT is a stretch. I don't know if you ever saw LT play, but LaVar can't carry his jockey strap. LT was a one man wrecking crew and every team in the league feared playing against him. He was truly one of a kind, a HOfamer. He changed the course of football games all by himself, LaVar could never do that.

I used quotations because that was moniker that was labelled on him after getting out of Penn St. You are right that he was no LT, but Lavar wasted his talent away. I know we are all upset about Lavar, but we need not forget how good he was for us.
Yes, I watched LT's entire career, he was a beast. Unequivically the best LB of all time.
