The guy in front of Lynch now is averaging 4.4 and he is averaging 3.1 ypc. That tells me he is the problem. Overall may be lower because he shares carries, but the per carry average shouldn't be effected.

Last year in Buffalo, the guy in front of and the guy behind Lynch both averaged 4.5 while he averaged 3.8 ypc.

There is no other conclusion, he sucks.

And here lies some of the issues with stats themselves.. we have no idea what situations both run in.. I am not making an argument in support of Lynch, because honestly I don't know for myself because I don't watch the SeaChickens.

But if Lynch is being used in short yardage and goal line situations more heavily than others.. his YPC will be effected.

This is why stats alone drive me crazy.. they reflect little in terms of the game situations players are put in.

Lynch very well may be unmotivated or an ill fit into the offense or simply over-rated... but using a single stat line to justify just doesn't seem to fit. IMO.

See this is where stats don't prove a point, all 3 of those backs share the backfield. So of course their stats will be lower

You raise a good point. I haven't looked this up but off vague recollections, Big Ben doesn't post particularly impressive passing stats yet is obviously a winner, and you see other qbs who post big #s due to garbage time (Arod in 2008 was criticized for this).

At the same time, it's difficult to objectively critique differences amongst players w/o using stats to some extent. I acknowledge flaws with this 'analysis' and I'm also not saying Bjack is the long-term solution. To be honest, I've been underwhelmed by him. The point I was trying to make with this thread is that the other big names that were rumored to be on the Packer radar this year haven't appeared to do anything extraordinary, or at least not enough to justify 3rd round + picks/James Jones, etc.
