Larry Johnson can be trusted by any team that decides to run a power running attack and hand him the ball 30 times a game.
That's what Larry wants. He wants the ball, in every situation. Even if the team is down by 20 points in the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter; he wants to run the ball.
When he doesn't get to run the ball 30 times a game he pouts. He says nasty things in the media, he berates his teammates and coaches, he goes to clubs and spits drinks in womens faces and shoves them out of his way.
There is no question about LJ's talent as a runner. However, he can't block worth a damn, and he's been "working" on his pass catching/route running skills for a number of years.
If Larry Johnson was 50% of the complete back, 10% of the team player, and 1% of the adult man that Priest Holmes was KC would never let him go

Well said Texas Chief. Well said.

I'm a Penn State fan as well as a KC fan. I like LJ but I lost respect for him. He doesn't want to be in KC because he sharing a starting position with Jaamal Charles. Jaamal Charles?! Also, there is nothing in KC to keep players there. KC is boring. Not to much to do for rich folk except gamble. Herm needs to go too though. He is too conservative!!!! But if LJ wants out....let him out. Get him a ticket outta KC. Trade him like they did Jared Allen and get some draft picks. Pick up Chris Wells. He is getting old anyway. I say let him go.

The NFL has changed right under LJ's feet. It's a 2 RB game now. He'll have to accept it, or look for other work. He is a great 30 carry a game back, but those days are just not in vogue in the NFL right now... Sorry LJ, dems da breaks...

Lawrence has legal problems, a poor attitude, a fat paycheck and he's lost a step. Combine his poor performance the past two seasons with all of that and the Chiefs are in a lose, lose situation. It will be interesting to see how Pioli handles the LJ situation when he finally takes over and hires his head coach.
