Gurley and Suh, or Lynch and Maxwell

[Seanhawk]

Many have said it, but I would never be on board with a scenario where I'm choosing something over Marshawn Lynch. Never. When he's gone, we'll have a new starting RB, but he'll never replace Marshawn. There is only one.

Gurley? He could be the next Marcus Lattimore with his knee injury. And the guy who replaced him at Georgia racked up like a gazillion yards, so now you gotta think whether it is the player or the system. No thanks...

Dude what?

Chubb replaced Gurley at Georgia and ran for 1547 yards LOL, and he wasn't even the starter for the first few games of the season. Gurley might not have been the best RB on his college team. And he's coming off an ACL injury. I don't even think Gurley will be a first rounder (though I'll concede, that is due to the injury). Georgia has had a suspect passing game for a while, so their RB stats are somewhat inflated IMHO.

Hey, Gurley could be the next Hershall Walker. Or he could be the next Tim Worley.

get rid of the best back in the game for an unproven rookie....not a chance...too many busts out there to take a chance at this moment.

I don't think it's going to be the Seahawks choice to keep Lynch or not. My gut feeling is Lynch won't want to be here if we don't get a new OC. Lynch has stated that he wants to go home and play for the Raiders. If he doesn't want to be here for the last year of his contract or renegociate an extension, we should try to trade him to Oakland for their second round pick and then trade our first and late round second pick to move up to take Gordon instead Gurley. Then sign Maxwell and Nhata instead of Suh.

He has? When? Where?

My preference would be Melvin Gordon at runningback. I live in Madison, WI and everyone says he is the 'Russell Wilson' of runningbacks. Great kid, extreme work ethic, absolutely in love with the game of football, and pushes everyone on the team to be better. I think this is the guy the Seahawks want because he totally fits the 'Seahawks way'.

We would do that only for their 1st, Lynch is the highest rated RB in the league and is under contract, we don't give him up without solidifying what we deem is a adequate replacement.

Maybe I'm not reading closely enough, but I'm not seeing anything there that indicates Marshawn saying he wants to be a Raider. I see wishful hometown newspaper journalism and quoting of anonymous "sources"...

Nobody, including the Raiders, would give up a first round pick for a29 year old RB. And my point isn't suggesting we trade him unless he doesn't want to be here. If they can't sign him and we don't want to take the 8.5 million cap hit next year, we may have to look at other options like trading him. I don't know if Tutbin and Michael can carry the load, but having another $7 million + a raider draft pick could allow us to go after someone like Cobb and trade up for Gordon.

No where in that article did Lynch state he wants to play for the Raiders

I would rather we find a back that is more a Hyde type that will be a thumper, we have Turbin and Michael, need a back that will deliver a punch not avoid them.
