BillsfaninFl Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 After last week, when Marshawn got his longest run of the season, people were still calling for his head on a platter. Today, he went out and pulled off the longest run (47 yards) the Bills had all season. He had 84 yards on only 12 carries. You need two good running backs on your team in today's NFL. We have them. It is the only position where we are rock solid. Why on earth would we want to get rid of one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murra Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Agreed, but another fairly obvious thread. We were never getting rid of Lynch. Maybe the same fans who wanted Cutler and the likes have been calling for it, but it ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would like to rip Lynch one more time--that was one ugly "long run" today. He broke through to the second level and basically slowed down, trying to juke guys down the sideline. I know his style isn't to be a breakaway speedster--but it is something comparing him to a guy like Chris Johnson when both guys get in the open field. Johnson is like a dart to the endzone; Lynch is like a break-dancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortured Soul Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I don't want to trade Lynch, but I think there are valid responses to your two points. First, playing well is not a reason to not want to trade him. After all, buy low and sell high is the most basic principle of business. Second, you might need two backs to succeed in the NFL, but you don't need two backs of the quality of Lynch and Jackson. And if you have a surplus that is being used inefficiently at one position and deficits at so many others, it makes sense to try to reallocate your resources. BTW, here are the YPC of the top two backs on the four best teams in the NFL: Minnesota: Peterson 4.5, Taylor 3.8 Indianapolis: Addai 3.7, Brown 4.5 New Orleans: Bell 4.2, Thomas 5.3 San Diego: Tomlinson 3.2, Sproles 3.3 I'm not sure how good any of those backs are, outside of Peterson.

If we didn't have all those injuries we would be at the top of the division even with captain checkdown at QB but I don't expect you guys to admit this. That would mean we actually had a decent team this year and our only true problem is our strength and conditioning coach. Granted there was lots of room for improvement but there is on any team.

BillsfaninFl Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 playing well is not a reason to not want to trade him. it makes sense to try to reallocate your resources. Are we talking about trading stocks or football players? Playing well is the best reason not to trade someone. And regarding "reallocate your resources," you don't improve your team by weakening it at one position in the hope of strengthening it at another. Trading in the NFL is often a risky step. In many cases it means one team gives up a good player, while the other gets a draft choice that may or may not become a good player. Some teams are good at trading players. They may be very good at determining the ability of players they want to acquire, or when trading away a player, they may be helped by the fact that they have a strong team, which makes the player they are trading appear better than they really are. Case in point: New England, who improved themselves by bringing in Welker and Moss. They sent away Cassel and others who weren't nearly as good as they looked on the Patriots' team. Then there are teams that are consistently victimized in trades, like the Buffalo Bills. (It hurts too much for me to list the disasterous moves, but look up our trade history for the last several years and you will see an alarming trend.) Hence, my position that trading away a good player is not going to improve this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRM33064 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Given the current status of our roster, I'm not sure there is any player that isn't potentially trade bait. However, we're also not in a position to just throw relatively young players to the curb for fire sale prices, depending up our new (?) front-office's tolerance for off-field nonsense. I suspect that very few players on our team would draw any type of enticing trade value. I don't believe Lynch is one of them ... notwithstanding the former expectations of the "trade Roscoe!" crowd. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I wouldn't side with those who want to just dump Lynch per se, and agree that we need at least 2 good backs. That being said, however, there were multiple occassions once again when Lynch got a dump off pass or a pitch and immediately started juking and got nowhere. Now granted... these plays were not well blocked, but I thought to myself on each one of these occassions "If Freddie was in the game, he would've moved the chains..." And then the next series Freddie would come into the game... and he would move the chains. Jackson just always turns the ball upfield, takes what is there, and then the dude just flat gets slippery and gets 4 or 5 yards out of nothing. That's the difference between the two, and it's oh so important if we hope to have a winning team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the last two games, Lynch and Jackson complement each other well, one of the few positions we don't have to worry about upgrading on this team. With our two backs, we probably have one of the top 3 or 4 RB tandems in the league, you can't say that about any other position on this team, even WR where we thought we did, but how has that panned out?

ChevyVanMiller Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'm not suggesting that the Bills trade Lynch, but Jackson should get the lion's share of the carries.

Jackson sees holes, makes cuts and has a "Thurman-like" ability to turn sideways and pick up an extra three yards as tacklers close in on him. Lynch is nowhere near the player he was two years ago.

Not saying Lynch isnt any good, but he managed only 35 yards the rest of the day on 11 more carries for an average of a measly 3.1 yards per carry. So, lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Jackson still had a much better all around day while Lynch had one carry that was a wide open side of the filed thanks to a great block by Fitz that any of our RB's would have gotten.

Dont get me wrong, you are totally correct about good blocking. All I was saying is that Lynch didnt do anything that one of our other RB's wouldnt have done on that play. In other words, that play would have happened if it were Freddie in there or even Oman. The whole side of the field was wide open after Fitz made the block. Moorman could make that play. The OP made reference to that play as a reason to prop up Lynch as if he made some great play. He truthfuly struggled all day except that play avg 3.1 ypc the rest of the day, but that play wasnt becuase of Lynch's skills, it was a play made possible becuase of an amazing play by Fitz.

The answer to the quality question is no. That no is more resounding when you have Favre, Manning, Brees, or Rivers as your QB. We have Fitzy, a quitter, and the practice squad cast away, who has a ton of potential, but we can't let him play. Reallocation is not necessarily valid in our particular instance. I agree if we had two 24 year old stud running backs...we don't. Jackson is getting older, and will be past normal RB prime inside of 2 years. Lynch is 23. I see that it has been stated we are set at WR...far from it. If Owen's leaves, and the whiz-bangs at 550 are ready to drive him to the airport, along with half of the posters at TBD, including those that were riding his pee-pee after the 'Phins game, we are hurting and hurting bad. Reed is old...and worse yet, free-agent old. Roscoe is a broken man, and although I would like to think I could make him a useful piece of an offense (I have very strong Madden credentials!) he is not going to work out. Evans is a stud, albeit a micro-mini-stud with a rocket in his arse, but he is a stud. Steve Johnson is going to be busy with book signings and cleaning his HOF bust, and may not have time to be the savior he once was, and Hardy is still the same slow, bad hands, can't run a route Hardy he was last year...only he hasn't played competitive football in a year.... Freddie can catch the ball...does he help us with the slot WR? Why the f#@k not? I think he moves to WR when Lynch is in the game, which is the majority, and we win. One or the other is pointless.

It's the nature of the position --- getting absolutely pummeled by 5-6 guys for 25-35 times per game --- that most guys don't last long. It's what makes Emmitt and Thurman's careers so remarkable.

I think Lynch is an ok NFL back. Fair hands IMO. Blocking - I dunno. He'd get a roster spot on all other teams. A thousand yards isn't much over 16 games, I know. His legal troubles - small peanuts IMO - he's young and that young people are goofy - especially with big jingle in the pocket - is well-known. That's part of being young. I do believe that he was drafted to gin up fan support, though. It's an old formula - a spiff RB excites, and sells tix. I would not trade him.

Just wanted to comment on your Hardy statement..... Slow? He ran a 4.49 in the combine. Check it out. That's not just fast, but for a guy 6' 5 1/2" that like VERY VERY fast. Bad hands? I'm not going to take the time to look it up but he was "credited" with either 1 or 2 drops last year. Can't run routes? Got me there, but that was his ROOKIE YEAR because in college he was instructed not to improvise his routes no matter what. He's learning that now and IMO if he had some quality offensive people in his corner, instead of Jauron and Fewell he'd have had a lot more opportunities to learn than he's had.

Dolphins Ravens Steelers Jags Titans Chargers Cowboys Giants Eagles Vikings Falcons Panthers Saints Its funny that every one of the teams I just mentioned have probably better RB teams/tandems then Lynch and Jackson. Im not looking up stats based on teams in the NFL. It would most likely show more teams then who I just pointed out anyway. But that is besides the point. The issue that was under argument before wasnt if Lynch sucks, it was if Jackson is better. That has been proven this season as Jackson has taken a hold of the starting position and Lynch continues to run in ways he was not intended. Like trying to juke that defender yesterday. He is a small power back and should run that way. Not dance around the line like a wanna-be Barry Sanders. He is not good enough to find the hole and not small enough to fit in it even if he did. I personally like Jackson more then Lynch as many seem to be jumping on that bus, but I still like Lynch for what he is. But he needs a RB coach in a bad way to tell him what he should and should not be doing when hes on the field. However the real issue with Lynch is going to be if he can stay out of trouble, which he has proved he cannot in the offseason. Its a fact!!! If the dumb F*&K cant stay out of trouble I dont want him. He does nothing for this team if he is suspended for 8 games or the entire season after getting caught doing something dumb again. Someone already posted that RB's are a dime a dozen. Especially dumb ones that are supposed to be power backs but try and dance around like something they are not. We could pick up a rookie in the 4th round to do what he does. With all that said, I still like him and if he can keep out of trouble im still happy hes on this team.
