LJ actually wasn't that bad last year when he did play given the line that the Chiefs have. Pretty much anyone should have known going into last year that after a year where he set an NFL record for carries, and than his team lost it's all pro guard, after having lost their all pro tackle the previous year that his production was going to be down, and that injury was a likely possibility. The saying is correct in that Football is a great game but a lousy bussiness. Running backs take a lot a beating and after about 3 years of a heavy work load their best days usually are behind them. Really of all the positions in football, I think running back is a young mans position more than any other.
