Well, I have to say that today was the first day that I thought, "It might be nice to have Marshawn Lynch right now." He was awesome for the Seahawks today. I was impressed with him even before that long TD run.

I still like Ted's approach of not overpaying to get players, but the fans who wanted him to get Lynch are looking a bit smarter now.

As if I could possibly look any smarter than I already am!

He wasn't worth overspending for was my thinking, but maybe that was wrong. Maybe he was worth throwing another round higher of a pick at him. That big run, that's special, it takes great balance and resilience to accomplish that.

I was hoping for Lynch, but to be fair, I've kind of wanted anyone other than Brandon Jackson carrying the rock primarily for us.

Those who wanted Lynch, hats off for sure.

I also think Ted made the right decision in the long run. Overpaying for that "one last piece" more often than not backfires (see Moss, Randy). Plus, Lynch is such a goofball off the field that you never know what the off season will bring.

But today Lynch showed that he can still be a difference-maker, at least for one game.

None of us could possibly know what kind of an atmosphere/attitude Lynch would have brought to the room under the bleachers.

However... I trust Ted with every fiber of my being so I am not going to think back. Good thread though.

One good run all season and going to say how great he is?

Your aware Jackson had a LONGER run this season than Lynch has?

a 4th rounder and player is what Ted offered, Seattle just a 4th

So tell Buffalo to suck it since they didnt want 2 players

FYI, Donald Driver had a nicer run than M Lynch's. Watch both plays again.

Very true, it was only one great run. But it was in the playoffs, when his team needed it the most and it helped his team win the game.

Great players do just that. I am not saying he's a great player, I think he's an above average back.

If Lynch gave that kind of effort every play, he's be a 1,500 yard back I bet.

Well he showed the potential he had today, but honestly the guy has sucked all year long. I'm still glad we didn't offer any more than we did. One good game, regardless of when it was, does not redeem his otherwise forgettable season.
