Marshawn Lynch anyone?

[Patler]

JSO pointed out that Lynch might be available soon for nothing, or cheap right now with the Bills having Jackson and now drafting Spiller.

Anyone interested in him now? Many thought the Packers would have a shot to draft him, but the Bills took him first.

I'd do a 5th/6th rounder... Although hes like Grant, he has fresher legs and is better IMO...

The problem is though, the packers don't have a "burner" and Lynch is def not a "burner" but it looks like they aren't getting one in this draft...

[mission]

Could we give up a 5th for him?

I still like the idea of Westbrook as a third down back. He definitely cant take the load that Philly put him through. They rode him like a rented mule.

[Bossman641]

I'd be all for making a run at Lynch. When focused, he runs like a man possessed.

ESPN said the Seahawks tried to get Lynch today, but the Bills were unwilling to part with him...so they traded for LenDale White and Leon Washington.

[Fritz]

Well, is he just a lumbering guy now? I don't know much about him.

[twoseven]

seems to me he has produced from day one, just the attitude that has been lacking. mark me down as a 'yes, please.' have never been a fan of just Grant back there. Lynch IMO would be a great addition to the backfield, and maybe being reunited with AR and getting a dose of WI love will give him a new lease on things. versus Westbrook I think it's a big upgrade, and Lynch is only like 24 I think.

When he's healthy, Marshawn is a beast. He runs like a deranged razor back.

On the other hand, he gets hurt because of his reckless style.

Plus, I suspect he's a head case. It was his rap in college.

I don't think he'd like coming into Green Bay knowing he'd have to beat out Grant. He' wants to be Number One Man.

I think a guy like Westbrook would be a much better fit.

[twoseven]

wouldn't a healthy competition step both their games up? i hear that on wanting to be the man, but what if Lynch were to come in and be the better player? i don't think Grant deserves to be handed the title just because we haven't made a big effort to put a top tier guy next to him. considering that he might cost next to nothing, i'd still rather take the risk that Lynch might bring rather than put a leader who is always one more concussion away from retirement in his place. if were going to risk anything, lets err on the side of miles left on the tires.

The problem isn't Grant, it's Lynch, IMHO.

The problem isn't Grant, it's Lynch, IMHO.

i guess i just feel like Lynch should have been our guy to begin with instead of Harrel back in 06', a near miss. i would still like to see a more explosive back aside from Grant on the roster that isn't a project. am also a big fan of westbrook if he can stay on the field and avoid injury. that's been an issue for him at least the last three seasons (knees?).

[VegasPackFan]

What would be the chemistry with Rodgers? That would be a huge factor.

[Tony Oday]

Nope. I am enamored with the name but why are they already trying to replace him? I would rather have Westbrook.

[Lurker64]

Marshawn Lynch is quite possibly the least elusive runner I have ever seen. His running style appears to largely be "run directly into the nearest defensive player and attempt to keep running."

I'm not so sure how well this is going to mesh with a scheme where he's required to identify and hit open gaps.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Not a huge fan of Lynch either. He's had his moments, but so has Grant. Grant is at least durable/available.
