Lavar In 2008

[DieHardSkin]

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

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

After the game now he says he wants to comeback to NY ..........you guys can have him.

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

Brian Mitchell played for the Giants and I don't hear anybody badmouthing him.

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.

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.

For what? Lavar is finished.

I know this is a stretch...but I'm pretty confident that my source here is reliable.

I know someone (an orthopedic surgeon) who knew the guy working on Lavar's knee.

He said there was virtually no chance of him making a comeback, and that if he did, he wouldn't be close to the player he was in his prime. He's gone. Please give up...

And I knew a guy who had a kidney disease but still ended up playing through it in the NBA. Alonzo Mourning..

Heck there were tons of people who overcame injuries and adversity to make an impact in sports.

John Lester BoSox - Cancer
Sean Elliott SA Spurs - Kidney Transplant
Grant Hill - Numerous surgery on ankle
Lance Armstrong - Cancer

So... in essence all those people who say that Arrington's Knee is shot.. give me proof. Find me a website or a direct quote from a reliable source that says that Arrington's Knee gone and cannot play in the NFL. Anyone????

So for those critics and gossipers that love to pretend to know everything about every single damn player... stop giving out false info... because that is only your opinion and not based on facts.

I personally would like to see Lavar back on the field just to laugh at all the haters and doubters.

Oh what is that famous quote from Adidas?.. OH RIGHT!

IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING

If you really want proof get on the Capital beltway (495) and go to the Rt 50 exit ....and over on the lefthand side of the road you'll see were Lavar left the rest of whatever good knees he had after crashing his motorcycle last spring.His knees are bad ,he tore his achilles tendon and mess up what was left of both legs in an accident.................fact!!!:smashfrea





P.S.........stop drinking all the rice whine!!!

I guess I can't argue with you redksinz79. Anything could happen.

It's just highly improbable, and for the sake of logical argument.... It's not even worth discussing. He's proven well beyond reasonable doubt that he can no longer perform at the pro level.

When (I can't believe I'm still putting effort into a Lavar thread... but I digress) a player who's sole strength was that he was a physical freak of nature... it leaves you with weaknesses. He would leap over offensive lines. He would terrorize you with his athleticism. It made you cringe to watch him fly across the field and hit with the kind of passion that you rarely see. He was the total package physically, and therein lies his flaw.

He's been called virtually uncoachable by incredibly respected head coaches. He's thrown Joe Gibbs under the bus. He's ostracized himself from the entire Redskins organization. He's never fully grasped an NFL scheme mentally... and always has been known as a free lancer. My point here Redkinz79 is that while your right that by some freak miracle healing he could come back to compete; He will never... ever, ever be in anywhere near the shape he was in his prime.

He will not be the predator. He will be a mediocre (at the very best) linebacker that makes slow reads... and no longer has the freakish physical abilities to compensate for them.

Can you argue that Lavar might come back? Sure...

But to even hint at the fact that he could somehow play a role comparable to his first stint is insane. His strengths are plagued by injuries, and it's as if his brilliance physically caused any football smarts he had to atrophy, because he just didn't need them... until now.

So please... for the love of God... let's not bring up Lavar ever again.

Most of the guys you mentioned in your post fully recovered, physically. Those that didn't (Mourning, for instance), never regained their prior form. LaVar's knees will never recover - he has no cartilage in his right knee. It is a fact.

Here is a post that refers to an article that mentions Lavar's condition. I believe it's from PFT.

What u posted was ancient article posted 2 years ago.



Until we actually the numbers and the exact condition of his health, it would be nice if all the medical experts (sarcasm) on warpath to diagnose themselves in the corner of the room for some quiet time.
