NewJerseySkinsfan Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 He weighed in at 280 lbs at ST funeral... maybe as a run stuffing nose tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 So is he came into camp with an incentive laden contract and produced you wouldn't want him? Did you see how much weight he put on at Sean Taylor's funeral? He's not only out of football shape, but out of shape, period. Then again, he's in football shape in the literal sense... shaped like a football. There is about a 0.0000000000000000000000000001% chance he'd make any NFL roster after two injuries and a bad accident, plus being almost 30 and way, way out-of-shape. Even a base salary for someone of his seniority would be much better spent on a draft pick or UFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 And despite the hype, he was not always a fan favorite. I couldn't wait to get rid of his prima donna, selfish, drama queen attitude.Of course you do realize that this is simply your opinion? It's no where near fact. Your statement makes me wonder why, when I went to a couple of training camps a few years ago, the majority of the fans there were screaming, lining up and basically just begging him to come to the fence to either sign autographs or just to get a closer pic of him as if there were'nt even any other players on the field. There's a reason for that...he was a fan favorite. I was also able to attend a couple of games a few years back. One being our home opener against Tampa Bay in 2004...Gibbs return. There were a sea of #56 jerseys in the stadium my man. And I'm not exagerating to make my point any stronger either by saying "a sea". It was ridiculous the amount of #56 jerseys that filled that stadium. IMO there was a reason for that...he was a fan favorite. So, to read your quote that LaVar was not always a fan favorite just makes me think, hmmm, what little window of time are you referring to exactly? BTW, don't make the mistake to think that I am advocating the return of LaVar Arrington. Although, I will tell you this, he has an acquaintance that lives across the street from me that he visits every so often (family oriented) and let me tell you, he looks to be in pretty good shape to me. I'm not saying that he is in football shape or that he can ever even play again. There just seems to be a lot of people here that come off like they know what kind of shape LaVar is in and that he can never play again. I even saw one quote stating that LaVar had been juicin. Good grief, where did that come from. :doh: Jansen had an achilles injury, he is still playing. There are a lot of players in the league who had knee injuries who are still playing. If LaVar is done, then he is done. So what? But, what's up with all the fortune tellers who already know that he is done? Go ahead, let me know what I am missing.

Sanders 83 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I still love the guy, if he thinks he can still play, bring him back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 BTW, does LaVar Arrington even want to play football again or come back to our team? Hell, we might talking about all of this for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Chaos47 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I was a huge LaVar fan and if he could actually make it back then yeah it would be great to have him back. I just don't think his body could take it, he's most likely out of shape but that can be fixed its the injuiries he's suffered that would hurt him.

skins28 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 If he could get into good shape, give him a try, I would love to see him on the field again. Just the other team seeing 56 on the field, they would have their eyes on him and you can bet they would still bring in that TE to try and block him off, 56 beside 99 coming in fast, I don't give a damn who you are, your going to be scared.

turbodiesel#44 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 i didn't see the funeral but last time i saw lavar (at the cap center during the summer) he looked very thin.He's off the juice now. No knees. Traitor to the Skins. He's done. These threads should be banned for stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The Bi-Monthly "Let's bring back one of the major disappointments from our past" thread. God I wish you guys would give some subjects a rest and stop living in the past. This team needs to go forward, not back. We've been living in the past for the last 4 years. I loved Joe his first time around, but #2 didn't do it for me. He's still the greatest coach in Redskins history, but this bring back Lavar stuff is getting old. Are you guys seriously in love with him or something, because that's all I can think of as to why these threads keep popping up. Sorry to be so harsh, but damn.

roanoker Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Wanting something and being able to do it are two different things. I believe LaVar would like to play again. However, because of injuries and overall health reasons, I think his best days in playing football are over. It was a thrill to see you play LaVar.

Pimpey42000 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Lavar is a much better person now than he was a few years ago, i.e. saying what he said at Taylor's funeral. Reality check this guy has had a great number of problems since getting injured in that game against the Giants in 2004. He was a great linebacker for those few years, he's much older now and probably not even close to game shape. He was amazing when he was here but he would have to make an incredible health comeback to ever play again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommishDC Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Lavar was not the player I thought he was when we drafted him...a few good years and a few bad ones...NO WAY do we bring him back! No help at all....need young guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1932 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 They asked Vinny if they would think about bringing him back and he flat out said no... This should end this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Enforcer Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I don't see this happening. I mean the guy already is very injury prone & even for league minium do you really want to take up a spot on the roster for a guy who might not even get to play a full season?

He looks like he's lost a lot of muscle mass to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins28 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 its funny how all of you talk crap about the guy, when at the time he was here, he was the only one making things happen on the D. I just see how fickle people are, he worked his ass off when we were so bad and yes you all know how bad we were when he was here most of his time here was on a horrid team that sucked and the first time he gets hurt you have Gibbs wanting him gone, so he can save someone, no one likes like Mark bungnail some cash for being over paid and way overrated, but I guess to you guys that throw our ex-players under the bus, that someone like Mark was working his guts out? Just give me a break. I can go back to playing the cowboys with LA and he was the only one making the tackles and running guys down, damn our D was horrid and he was the only bright spot we had and he worked hard and now you fickle fans throw him under the bus. that just sucks and you know it. You have anyone to blame you blame our great owner and his way of doing things in the shade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonFederals Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I love the memory of his safety scored vs, Cowpukes... He's still a Giant in my mind... I paid $185 for his on field jersey, it's only fair he comes back to NY, 1st... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
