I would agree.

TwistedHusky":1punm03e said:Rawls was pretty good.
Suddenly with more coaching he got terrible.
If this was single incident, maybe I would blame Rawls. But our staff has a habit of making guys worse over time. Weirdly, the less time in our system, the better a RB tends to be - but for Lynch, who was an outlier.

OK
#24 is my favorite Seahawk of all time but I don't think you have any real background with the teams of the past.
#80 Steve Largent played for the Hawks for 14 years, is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and considered by many as the best Seahawk ever.
Walter Jones HOF, left tackle, if you don't know you better ask somebody.
Kenny Easley HOF, one of the best safeties of any era.
Cortez Kennedy HOF, 1992 Defensive Player of the year.
These players were the best at their position in there prime, and played their whole career in Seattle, I'm not even getting into any of the current players.
A case could be made for Alexander who was the NFL MVP, had 28 TD's and led the league in rushing in 2005.
And if the Hawks had won the Super Bowl XL he would be looked at in a much better light by Seahawks fans.

And how many of them won a Superbowl (almost 2) for Seattle?
Mediocrity isn't important. Championships are.

We did in 2016. 3 of them actually.

Have you ever watched any of those players play football? My guess is no.

Really? I always thought he was one of the more well-respected guys in the league. Teammates and opponents have seemed to speak highly of him, and it has always felt like his anti-establishment approach and physical playing style was admired by his peers.

Also, I think some of us are misunderstanding what SixSeahawk is saying. He means Lynch was the most important part of the SB win. I'd argue that since that's the main goal of a football team, it makes sense. Lynch was NOT the greatest/best Seahawk overall, but I can buy he might be the most important. IMO Russ was the key ingredient so I'd give it to him. You can look at marshawn's stats before and after Russ joined the team and it's readily apparent.

You got the first part about importance right but calling Russ the most important part of those teams (when several current and former Hawks have called those teams Marshawn's teams) is a combination of revisionism and favouritism.
Russ was the third most important part of those teams. The first two being Beast and the LOB, respectively.
