Gotta Dream Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You can't trade the Beast! It just wouldn't be right. He's had his problems, but who didn't last year (except for a very rare few)? Beast Mode epitomizes the Buffalo Bills. Tough, rugged, not easily taken down, punishing. Build the lines and let him take a few opponents down!

Gotta Dream Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 all true except he seems to have a tough time hitting the hole quickly like Jackson does and he is a below average receiver. I totally agree with you, but on swing passes, pitch outs, he's a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I totally agree with you, but on swing passes, pitch outs, he's a beast. And absolutely no better than someone we could pick up in the 4th or 5th round - or FA for that matter. He is NOT an elite NFL back. No way. And, he's a punk to boot.

Beast Mode epitomizes the Buffalo Bills. Tough, rugged, not easily taken down, punishing. Build the lines and let him take a few opponents down! The Bills would receive at highest a 4th round pick for him, he is one incident away from a 16 game suspension. Not even Al Davis is that stupid. Epitomize the Buffalo Bills? Tough? Rugged? Not easily taken down? While those are all true qualities about Marshawn there isn't a single other player on this team that fits that description. The Buffalo Bills are a soft, often injured team with absolutely no fire whatsoever. Marshawn epitomizes the irony of the Levy "character players only" era. Marv not only picked two sucky players in the first round he picked two players who would face criminal charges within 18 months of their drafting.

Kingfish Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I totally agree with you, but on swing passes, pitch outs, he's a beast. He is? On swing passes he never catches the ball cleanly or in stride and on pitch outs he never turns up the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Lynch made a mistake in bulking up last season what ever he gained in power he lost more in quickness- he might be worth a 2nd round pick if SD can't get the RB of their choice in the 1st round.

HansLanda Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Rb's have the shortest lifespan in the NFL. Marshawn showed some promise, but if you can get a 2nd rounder (or maybe even a very high 3rd) for him you pull the trigger. Get a young burner out of college to compliment Jackson. you can't have marshawn and jackson getting older together imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Is it more important to keep a trouble maker backup running back or is it better to get something in return that can become more of an asset for your team at another position?

Astrobot Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Lynch made a mistake in bulking up last season what ever he gained in power he lost more in quickness- he might be worth a 2nd round pick if SD can't get the RB of their choice in the 1st round. Lynch has the most trade value after San Diego picks at RD1#28, but probably for a RD3. Say Miami goes with Dan Williams and Seattle doesn't take Spiller in RD1 (opting for Clausen). San Diego could end up with hoping Jahvid Best (ironically also from Cal) fallls to them at #60, but he's more likely to go earlier (our guess is #40 to Seattle). As soon as Jahvid Best is taken, Lynch becomes trade bait. If San Diego wants a good RB, one of their best options is Lynch, especially since they have a decent OLine and they'll see less "dancing" from Lynch. San Diego has other needs to address first (DE, CB) so it'd be good for them to trade their RD3#91, not their RD2#60. The Bills would be wise to take care of their NT-LB-QB needs with their own picks, and pick up a complement for Jackson at RD5, RD6, or RD7. San Diego might take RD1--Wootton DE RD2---Cook CB RD3 (Lynch) RD4--Hodge WR Buffalo might take RD1--Bryan Bulaga OT RD2--Brandon Spikes ILB RD3--Dan LeFevour QB RD3--Jason Fox OT RD4--Cam Thomas NT RD5--Sheffield OLB or Charles Scott RB RD6-- Schofield OLB or James Starks RB RD6--Linval Joseph DE RD7--Blair White WR RD7--Antonio Brown WR The other possibility is Houston for their RD3#81.

Lofton80 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I say keep him another year. Why create another hole on the roster. He is only 24 with a 2M cap figure. He put up solid numbers his first two years in the league. His off the field stuff will make him questionable as trade bait. I seriously doubt AJ Smith is giving up his 3rd pick for a RB when he can get Willie Parker or Justin Fargas to share the load with Sproles.

Rob's House Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 What makes this guy a "Beast"? I've seen him get stood up at the line of scrimmage way too many times to dote on him. He's a pretty good back with a lot of baggage, a thug mentality, and he's one slip away from a long suspension. If we could get some value for him we should get it while the gettings good.

bonzaibills Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 People seem to forget that Lynch doesn't even turn 24 until mid-April. They also seem to forget that he's been in the league 3 years and has two 1,000 yd seasons. Jackson is a good back but he's 29. All I hear about is that running backs hit the wall at 30. I'm sure someone will make the argument that he hasn't taken the repeated pounding that most 29 yr old NFL backs have, but you can be sure that busting his hump as a journeyman for all those years took its toll on his body. That being said, you're going to have a hard time convincing me that moving Lynch in any manner is a good thing for this football team. Unless he breaks the law again, of course.

Heels20X6 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You would be luckey to get a 4th or 5th for him. He has no value on the trade market. Just keep him and see if he can play his way back onto the team. We'll get nothing for him on the trade market. He's as valuable as Trent Edwards.

Unless you have someone follow him around every day all day he will be in the news soon enough for pushing some old lady off of a cliff for her gold wheels. I'm not saying he is not worth keeping, I think it Freddy's turn to show he's the true #1 for buffalo.
