Marshawn had 75% of his yards gained after contact which was 2nd in the NFL. Now imagine what he could do with a decent O-line.

Imagine what he could do with a proper attitude and not getting into touble every offseason.

But I will be 1st to admit if he can net us a quality player at a position of need via trade we need to consider it

You are right I liked marshawn and thought he was going to be a super star but then came the attitude and it overshadows his play. Time to let him go before he gets into trouble and is suspended for a year.

Imagine what Marshawn could do if he had hole recognition, vision and cutback ability.

Fred Jackson plays behind the same o-line and is clearly better. Stats wise and watching the two play.

Why not be happy we have 2 great RBs? Why always have to choose one or the other. Its nice to have a 2 headed monster

Lynch runs to contact, which leads to injury. Jackson runs to daylight.

Jackson is clearly the best player the Bills have on offense.

Gailey is gonna have fun with both rb's.

Exactly. Sometimes it seems like Lynch isn't even looking where he is going. He picks a spot and runs to it no matter what. He has to have most of his yards after first contact because he always seems to be contacted right away. Not all of this is the line's fault.

I think he has cutback ability, though. He can dance the jig in the backfield like nobody's business. He needs to be coached up better. Although a lot of what we are talking about is instinct and vision, things that are hard to teach, he sure could play a lot smarter, which can be taught. He has the potential to improve quite a bit if he could get his head out of his rectum and maybe play in brainiac mode a little more, and beast mode a little less.

Last year I would have said that Lynch is better than Jackson, but you won't hear me saying that today. It IS nice to have both, though. Lynch is still very young. Could be he turns it up. I hope so. Right now, I'll give the nod to Freddie as being better.

Looking forward to see thing the same players with different coaching.

Re: This is why Marshawn is better than F. Jackson...

Of course most of his yards come after contact, he just runs forward never looking for a hole. He doesn't have half the hole recognition of Jackson, and I'm a guy who was a Marshawn fan going into the season.

Re: This is why Marshawn is better than F. Jackson...

and what was 75% of Marshawn's yards? 18?

I don't think there is any doubt that Marshawn has more natural talent than Jackson. But Jackson keeps out of trouble and is much more consistent. IMO this is Lynch's year to put up or shut up. He needs to stay clean and put up some big numbers, or else he should be released/traded.

The guy did it to himself.

And i care why?

Re: This is why Marshawn is better than F. Jackson...

lynch is the best rb of this roster by far i thank the former useless coaching staff for saving him this year and not running him behind this trash line.

he is a 1500 yard back with a decent line here

if you took lynch's nos. and gave it to Fred, Fred's over 1500 yds behind last years crappy line. So I guess one can argue that Fred could get 2000 with a decent line here?

Don't want to turn this into another player controversy within the team that bills fans love to do, but I'm glad Gailey will have 2 capable rb's to use.

you just named about every back in the league, anybody can run behind a good line, but Jackson ran better behind the same line Lynch did, for 2 years in a row.
