GunnerBill Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 No. We need speed. Not an old slow guy. 2
machine gun kelly Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I say we give Earl Campbell some steroids, bionic walker and there will be hell to pay. C’mon. These “let’s bring back...” Dumb. We finally I think have a line. Let’s see what Moss and Motor can do.
Captain Caveman Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I love Lynch. He was a guy that you could tell had fun playing, and loved to play (reminds me a little of Josh that way.) I don't know that he'd be interested in coming back here, but I'd welcome him in a heartbeat.

The reason we're having these Blount/Lynch threads is because no one has much faith in our 2 guys getting 1 yard. And as much as I like Josh's short yardage ability, do we really want him taking all these extra shots. And the OL is also to blame. 2
DrDawkinstein Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Absolutely, yes. But I know it would never happen. 1
benderbender Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 How about as a non-fumbling mentor to Moss?

We could have just kept Frank Gore if you wanted someone to gain 1 yard - he seemed pretty good at that. Just couldn't count on him going any farther than that at this stage of his career.

He also can pick up a blitz no problem. Would you all like to have him back for a playoff run? Singletary's blitz pickups this year have been pretty great most games. Including last game. 1
4_kidd_4 Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Yes, but only if Byron Brown greets him at the airport to present him with a key to the Blasdell Applebee’s. 2
RochesterLifer Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I, for one, would love to see that Marshawn/Buffalo storybook romance rekindled. #sarcasm 1
Rocky Landing Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 The question would be: would he be better than Moss as a complimentary back to Singletary? (I know what my opinion is.)

He also can pick up a blitz no problem. Would you all like to have him back for a playoff run? Not a shot in the world - he is exactly the opposite of what we need. We don’t need his head case or his antics. We don’t need his slow run into the pile. We don’t need him not doing his job. If we are looking to bring someone in (which we are not) - get some speed at RB3. He also is going to need to replace Yeldon or Jones - so they need some special teams prowess. Lynch fits none of that at all. 1 hour ago, LABILLBACKER said: The reason we're having these Blount/Lynch threads is because no one has much faith in our 2 guys getting 1 yard.

We had that guy last year in Gore and everyone wigged out about him - I don’t see an older Lynch getting you a yard or more when Frank couldn’t. Edited December 10, 2020 by Rochesterfan 1

Who can quickly attack the tiny little seams our OL supplies. Neither Moss or Singletary are speed backs. I also don't want Josh having to crash the line on 4th & 1 all the time. We lose him we're done. And no I don't want Gore. Edited December 10, 2020 by LABILLBACKER

That's not even a valid comparison by any means. They were both totally gassed by the end of their careers. Lynch "unretired" once already: 3 games, 35 runs, 67 yards, 4 TDs. Blunt's last year was better than that. In a valid comparison, both are equally done.
The Wiz Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) I will also Un-retire to be on a contender. Give my mom... I mean my agent a call. Edited December 10, 2020 by The Wiz 1
