Larry Johnson--He gone.

And the argument comes full circle. If you act like an ass, you are an ass, so go play somewhere else. It's only disruptive if you have others on the team willing to act like an ass. If this emboldens them, they can play elsewhere, too. If you're building a winning culture, you want people who will buy in, not be selfish and act like assholes.

 

All Johnson has wanted for a long time is out. They should have dealt with this in the offseason, but they chose not to. Cutting him now is basically giving in and that is a bad idea.

 

I still think you're looking at this from the wrong angle. As a team you do what you think is best for the team. You don't worry about what the player wants, especially a malcontent. Before the season Johnson was keeping his mouth shut and playing the good soldier so Haley gave him a chance, probably because he was still better than anything they've got at the position. Johnson proves he isn't all that productive, then runs his mouth. Team cuts him. Seems logical to me. The only question is if he were having a good year and then made the comments, would the Chiefs have still cut him?

 

I doubt it. So I will amend. Nothing is more disruptive than showing your players that you can get what you want by acting like and ass AND playing like shit.

 

WTF? Just what a fading team with a lack of veteran leadership needs -- Larry Johnson.

And Forte will be fine if the OC will stop ignoring the run and the offensive line will play worth a shit.

 

Running backs are only a dime a dozen on good teams and obviously the Chiefs don't belong in that category.

It's why Kenton Kieth put up solid numbers in Indy but Darren McFadden cant do anything in Oakland.

 

Maybe having a player to push him would help. Garrett Wolfe obviously is not breaking out like D'Angelo Williams did.

 

The Bears' o-line couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie.

 

The Pats would be a good place for Larry

 

Any team interested in having a malcontent who acts like he's 12 years old will love what Peter Shaffer has to offer.

 

Agreed. A great offensive line can make a mediocre runner look good and can take a good back and make him a stud, like the Chiefs did for Johnson for a couple of years. Very few running backs can be a Barry Sanders and do it without much help up front, but that doesn't mean a stud running back can't make a difference.

 

Johnson had two of the best linemen in the last 10 years as blockers, which also explains part of Priest Holmes' surplus in production.
