OT: Ladanian Tomlinson's records--worthless w/visor!,

[smarta5150]

Ah, I didn't bother to read the part of the article that may have explained this. Thanks for the clarification, smarta.

And I do agree. It's a little unfair to provide this advantage for just one guy. I honestly was unaware of this.

Are there not other backs that wear tinted facemasks? Again, I'm coming off ignornant here since I didn't read the article in its entirety, but I'm assuming his situation requires a tinted facemask and not a clear one? Interesting stuff.

At the least, an enlightening article. Brings up an issue I'm assuming a lot of people -- at least myself -- would have never even thought about.

Ricky Williams used to wear a dark visor.

Now Dawkins and Canty do.

Vick wears a clear - probably cause he rushes a lot and avoid getting an eye poked out.

That article is by far the stupidest thing I've ever read.

I'm sure that LT is not the only player who has worn a dark visor. Now, if all of sudden the RB's, WR's, & QB's who have worn the dark visors ended up as All Pro's over the last 10 years then you may have an argument. But that has hardly been the case.

Besides, that cat is so quick of his cuts, he could eyes sticking out of the top of his helmet and they still wouldn't get to him.

That is the point. If a defender could see his eyes than that cut wont be so easy.

 

[Catch-22]

Only QB in the league that wears one right now I think
