Larry Johnson

Crumpler was a big part of the reason we had so much success running.

 

Where did I say "cheap," exactly? If I was hurt by these remarks, that would be libel, wouldn't it? :ha:

Well, I presume you mean more like "quote-unquote" or "according to Hoyle" rather than quoting me. Don't blame me with all the "You misquoted me"s and "Where did I say"s flying around. Just being cautious.

Anyway, reasonable value, I agree. I look at it like taking your $3M Scaife and upsizing it to a $4M Gonzalez.

 

Yep. And for those complaining of the lack of pass production created by Crumpler, I wonder if his knees weren't as advertised and the blocking was simply the best role for him. I was honestly surprised at the salary we got him for. Either this is his role, that and impart some wisdom like he did with Bo this year and was with Vince, or he's going to take two full years and we may see some improvement this upcoming season regarding pass-catching.

Anyway, I think the strategy was as much to protect and maximize Crumpler's value for this season. "Put the wear on Scaife. He might be leaving, besides." Makes sense.

 

i haven't seen anything to suggest that larry johnson wants to share carries with anyone. he was miserable when priest holmes was the lead back in KC and frankly just comes off as a selfish dude.

 

Not only is he not that great of a running back (way too much mileage on those tires, despite the fact that he isn't too old), he's a crappy guy and he is a huge threat to disrupt the locker room or get suspended.

Hell. No.

I have complete faith that no one in the front office is stupid enough to bring him in.

 

So we brought Crump in here just because hes a big body and can block? Alge is a a solid blocker dont get me wrong but if were not going to utilize his other abilities then i think we should let him go. That same argument that your making with Alge helping CJ this year i could make with Hartsock helping LW last year. I realize that Alge doesnt call the plays but their has to be a reason why we didnt go to him more often,their was a stretch during the season where he just disappeared. Scaife is younger,more athletic and his blocking is just as good as Crump so it seems like a no brainer to me as far as who to keep IMO.

 

Larry Johnson just seems like a Rb the Broncos would go after.
