Lavar In 2008

T.O.Killa · 01-05-2008, 11:19 PM

I might be crazy for thinking he will come back, but he was the only bright spot on the Redskins for years. He was every fans favorite player. Then we got Sean, then he was taken away. Well, Lavar is still here and I still love him. If he can still play, he will be a bargain and Snyder will make a boat load of money on him. Believe me, a boat load and that iwill be a motivating factor.

Well, at the very least, a lot of Lavar fans would buy his jersey and you know he won't have #56 again.

I think it would be great!!!!! I would love to have Lavar back as long as he is well behaved and a team player. I think he has grown up a lot!

I like Godfrey

Why would he not have 56?

1- Snyder and Lavar will want to make money off it.
2- We WILL get another LB, likely before Lavar would be signed, so #56 is sitting around waiting to be taken.
3- #56 is popular among LB's.
4- Less likely, but the way Lavar's tenure ended, I doubt he would want to be connected to that with the same number.

I don't want him back. Sorry, but he was the "best thing" to happen to us during a lot of losing seasons. What good is that? He burned a lot of bridges because he was too stubborn and arrogant to follow orders and take some criticism. Plus, as has been mentioned, his knees are shot.

Time to move forward, not backward.

I'm all for second chances. If the guy has anything left in the tank and wants to play in washington, I'd be happy... He did have excellent football instincts. I know he didn't fit GW's system, but GW re-worked his system in order to let his guys make plays, because he felt him hindering his players is one of the reasons they finished so low last year.... I think he could probably take Godfrey's place, and Mcintosh may not be back next year.

Maybe it wouldn't be moving backward... maybe it would be like bringing Smoot back...

Well, the Redskins realized that a Dale Lindsey messed up the relationship Lavar had with the team. They fired him, and I think that had alot to do with the Lavar situation.

Dude LAVAR is done, he is old and always injured, he had 1 good year with us and that was basically it.

Agreed....and personally I don't think he ever was that great. Or maybe it was that we just sucked during that time he was with us.

Did you see how BIG he was at Taylor's funeral. He hasn't missed many meals since being out of the league.

calia · 01-22-2008, 01:31 PM

LaVar is done, which is really a shame. But if GW is the coach as I suspect he will be, there is NO way LaVar would want to come back or be invited back. It was GW's defensive system that LaVar couldn't adapt to, and I don't see time out of the game improving that situation.

LaVar "had more than one good year with us." But, sadly, your right LaVar's carrer is done for. I do not believe that he has overcome the injuries he sustained from his motorcycle accident to be the player that he once was.

As I recall, he was not that good his last year playing with the Giants and did not play most of the year, due to injuries.

Actually, I think he just had a slow start. If I remember correctly he was playing absolutely AMAZING in the game he got injured. Sucks to be him.

I like the enthusiasm from a fan, but seriously, the odds are slim to none here.
