LJ signed a big contract last season. So this will be the second year of that contract. Looking back on it now, I wish the Chiefs would have waived bye, bye. I think Sylvanfan pointed out last year that it would be in the best interest of most NFL teams to let their UFA RB's go. They are never as productive on their second contracts as they are on their first when they are young and fresh.
LJ is still a real good back, but he can't do it all him self. He was obviously getting frustrated before he got hurt. Continually running into a wall of defenders play after play. The play calling last year was pretty disgusting as well. But that is easy for me to say watching from my Lazy Boy recliner. I'm not to sure about LJ's state of mind. DFF listens to Kansas City Sports talk radio, he might have more info than me.
