Marshawn Lynch un-retiring

[yetisnowman]

What happened in that year? You're still bitching about that in a year we won the Super Bowl??

This is the complete disillusionment of the TT haters. Don't like TT so they complain about anything even when we win the Super Bowl.

Ted could have had him for a 4th and a conditional pick the next year. He played 2 seasons for Seattle then re-signed for 4 more years with them. We missed the chance at having an all pro caliber running back for 2 seasons and possibly more. 2010 didn't occur in a vacuum.

^^^^^^^^

I see, so we would have won 4 more Super Bowls if only we had Marshawn Lynch. And if we had gotten Randy Moss in 2007, we could have had 3 more.

Two players...... 7 Super Bowls pissed away....

I don't think he's saying that; what he's saying is if we had taken the gamble we could have had an all pro caliber RB for several years and there is a good chance it would have led to more success. One more would have been validation. Seattle has been willing to take several free agency and trade risks along the way and we have chosen not to.

^^^^^ no I'm saying it was an easy move to make that would have cost minimal draft value. Are you arguing not making that trade made us a better team? If not then what's your point exactly.

Who was the third round pick that Lynch would have cost?

Would Moss have kept Brett warm by blowing in his ear versus the Giants?

These are the variables we need to solve for.

There is no reasoning with the TT nut huggers.

Nor is there any reasoning with 20/20 hindsighters.

Same true for those who think FA is all Super Bowl winners and hits, and never recall the expensive busts.

I don't know if we would have been better or not. All I know is we won the 2010 Super Bowl and went 15-1 the next season. Hard to argue Lynch would have changed anything.

I always was a balanced offense guy. But I think I have joined the throw the ball all over the field after the last 9 games of the season. Having a great running game is awesome but your taking the ball out of the best player in the NFL's hands.

So you are mad we didn't get Lynch but won the Super Bowl? Who can't you reason with?

It's not all hindsight, I know plenty of Packer fans who wanted Lynch at the time of the trade. Of course there are expensive busts. But most of us sensible FA advocates are not insisting we go after guys like Suh and Albert Haynesworth every year.
We have room and picks to at least be somewhat active involving a non draft day trade once a decade or a mid-level signing.
Our defense is a shining example of where draft and develop combined with virtually no FA acquisitions can end up if you miss on a few drafts in a row. And I don't give a shit about comp picks when TT hasn't shown a high acumen for drafting defensive playmakers

Except I was on the Lynch bandwagon when he was a member of the Bills. I was pissed then about tightwad Teddy not getting him, that's NOT hindsight.

Besides. he was just visiting his old teammates.
