| 14th January, 2009 - 11:50 pm |  SI.com - The Chargers have reportedly been considering getting rid of LaDainian Tomlinson, who has had his past two seasons end in the playoffs due to injury.
"I've tried to be the best professional, best player, best person in the community that this organization has ever seen, that's what I've always tried to do and will continue to do because that's who I am," Tomlinson said. "But to be treated like this, to me it just reaffirms my faith in God, to be honest with you. To let nothing bother me because of my faith in God and how far he has brought me. Because this is what man will do to you: Man will build you up and make you think that you're the greatest and that you're going to be here forever, and then man does this. Man crucifies you.
"I think it's ridiculous to be talking about trade and me not being here, that's just my personal opinion. I know every team has a right to make trades and all this stuff, but I just think it's ridiculous to be talking about this, to have this stuff in the media when this could be handled behind closed doors and in a professional way. Now I have people calling me, talking about this all the time; this has become a big story and I don't want this."
RealGM Note: Tomlinson was ranked 8th amongst running backs in season FIC and had a -35% Reina Value. He 'deserved' a cap number of $5.05 million.
Tomlinson's yards per carry has declined from 5.2 in 2006 to 4.7 in 2007 and 3.8 in 2008, which puts him dead last amongst running backs who have had at least 100 attempts. [READ] |
