Sports fans, riddle me this about my LaDanian Tomlinson theory.

Asked by dreamwolf (3163points) October 9th, 2011

Statistically Tomlinson’s work ethic will surely lead him into the Hall of Fame. In his last years in San Diego I noticed a subtle yet very explicit change in his game. Long story short, I noticed when the Chargers changed their uniform colors Tomlinson also changed his glove colors. He went from his “heyday” black gloves to white gloves. I think the white gloves actually showed defenders when he actually had the ball in his hands, as opposed to the black gloves which might have hid the ball just a nano second more. Furthermore I think with Play Action plays, it was easy to tell if he had the ball in his hands or not, I haven’t checked out other stats of running backs who have switched from black to white gloves though. I just know Tomlinson went back to black with the jets and had done quite well compared to his latter days as a Charger. What do you feel about this theory?
