    Stark contrast between Lynch and McGahee

    Ya know, I remember a few characters claiming Lynch had an attitude problem prior to the draft.

    I have seen nothing but humble from him. Thats a stark contrast to that clown we had before.

    Heres an example of what I mean:

    as training camp closes in and the real work begins which one stands the best chance of making the greatest impact as a first-year player for Buffalo? If you ask Lynch or Posluszny they're quickly pointing to the other guy.
    "I'm going to go with my man Paul," said Lynch. "I'm going to do my time on the other side of the ball. Paul's going to hold it down as well."
    "Marshawn," said Posluszny. "He gets my vote. He gets to score touchdowns. I think he is going to have a great year. If he does well and gets his shot he will be in good shape. If I'm out there I'm going to do my part. Make the plays I'm supposed to make. And make things happen."

    McGahee would NEVER have diverted attention from himself. Enough about that clown.

    Heres JP's comments on him:

    "I think we're expecting a lot out of him," said J.P. Losman of Lynch. "And that's especially the case when it comes to catching the ball out of the backfield. He just brings such a good energy to the offense and such a competitive nature. That's what we're looking for."

    I was a fan of us drafting Lynch mid last season, heres a comment by me:

    "Id like to see us Willis-less and address the position early in the draft with guys like Michael Bush or Marshawn Lynch.

    Hes a questionable starter at this point and not good enough."

    The guy is going to be great for us, this year even.

    Can anyone still argue that he has a bad attitude?

      His true test will be what he can do with an average Oline. This is what makes the Greats great. This was McGahee's downfall.

      Anyone can run behind a great Oline.

        Ya gotta like Lynch's attitude and skill set. He's got everything needed to be successful especially his eagerness to learn and improve. And his genuine humility has everyone in his corner. One of these days soon he and the OL are going to gel, and we'll see the O take off. And that short pass from JP that went for 14 yards was a taste of what's to come. Can't wait for it to happen.

          I know it was only Pre-season but he really did not impress me at all. Even McGayHee had better numbers. I am not saying he won't be a great pick for this team but I sure hope he has a better YPC then he did in pre-season.

            McGahee didn't have a bad attitude when he first came to Buffalo so it's too early to see character in a player after a month on the team. Even if he didn't believe what he said do you think he would say otherwise?

            When McGahee first came into the league he was labeled as a hero he defined the odds by working so hard to overcome one of the worst knee injuries in the history of sports.
