How's Marshawn Lynch Doing...?

[esoxx]

McCarthy said: "Brandon Jackson to me is an every-down back.".

He is. Every time I see him he's down on his back.

[vince]

He stuck up for one of his guys in public. Imagine that. Fire his ass.

Point taken! I understand the week 2 remark but the preseason observation speaks volumes. Bad Judgement on talent.

I think they were saying that they thought McCarthy was "being truthful" and that he really believed Jackson was an "every down" back and that was the basis of their criticism.

You seem to think it's more important to "stand up for his guy" than to tell the truth, unless you believe that Jackson IS an every down back?

In any event, I don't understand the need for your sarcasm. Could you enlighten me?

My view on the run only reinforces my opinion of Lynch before and after the trade

Undoubtedly better than Brandon Jackson

Could have helped our team for sure

Debateable if he was worth what TT would have had to give up

[Patler]

lynch is not a homerun threat and that was not a homerun

that was like a single with 7 or 8 errors on the plays resulting in a score

he showed a hell of a lot of heart on the run, but about 10 guys missed tackles, others just gave up (porter), and when was the last time you saw our qb and a o-lineman 70 yards downfield blocking?

now jamaal charels, he just had a homerun

Good description, Red; although I would call it a double with errors allowing him to score. He did break decent tackle attempts at the line of scrimmage, and his stiff-arm on the DB was a thing of beauty. I'll give him a double for those!

Other than that he high stepped about four half-hearted dives at his feet and stayed within a wedge of blockers.

Brandon Jackson's longest run this year was 4 yards longer than that, and it included a stiff arm and people falling at his feet. But that doesn't count. Only Lynch's counts.

Proven that he can't cut it in Buffalo.

What were his stats in Buffalo? Did he gain pro bowl status?

Good on you if think Starks is the answer.

His Pro Bowl selection was truly an odd one. He got in as an injury replacement, and I can't help but wonder how many others declined. He was tied for 13th in rushing that year. Quite low for a Pro Bowl player.

Lynch is average. Dude has one good run after sucking for the better part of 2-3 years, and now he's the second coming? Even yesterday, he was averaging well under 4 yards/carry until that run. Good for him. He's very ordinary and I wouldn't have given up the 3rd round pick it would have taken to get him. Here's what we've done with our last 4 third round picks:

Drafted Morgan Burnett. Too early to tell, but it looks like he has a shot at being a good safety.
Used it to trade up to get Clay Matthews.
Drafted Jermichael Finley.
Drafted James Jones.

I wouldn't trade any of these moves to get Lynch (except for maybe Burnett, but it's too early to tell on that).

He got demoted in Buffalo - twice.

That's the one I'm talkin bout!

So? What about Woodhead and Hillis?

[BallHawk]

Yes. Lets see Starks make a run over 20 yards in the playoffs.

bump.
