Congrats on a good a good career, glad it's official.
I just don't understand why people get emotional over stuff like this though. He is a RB who is retiring. Absolutely no reason to get teary-eyed or get a lump in your throat.
Besides, the Lynch that we loved has already been gone a year. The 2015 season was our first year without Lynch, next year will be our second.
"He is a RB who is retiring".. That is just not at all what he is. He is the embodiment of hard-nosed never-give-up football. He carried this team on his back to many playoffs and two super bowls.
Some seem to forget that Wilson was not the face of the franchise and the heartbeat of the offense on his two/three first years. Wilson was an exciting prospect. Marshawn was the one we always relied on and he always delivered. We did not have much of an offense those years but we had Lynch and that was more than enough! A great athlete, icon, legend, and he always was himself, like it or not. Beast Mode, BeastQuake. You cant just plugin a new player and replace that. That is truly unique football folklore, not "an RB who is retiring". Sheesh.
