his problems with the law are over and done with. marshawn is a smart kid. he learned his lesson, and I can guarantee there will be no more incidents with him again. he has great hands, great vision, and power. he may not have break away speed, but he doesnt need it when he is mowing defenders down. playing in this offense, any running back would be "trade bait", and thats the problem. As fans we want so much, yet we rarely see the talent we have. The only real offensive weapons that this team has are Lynch and Jackson. I dont count Lee Evans because as we have seen before, he disappears for games at a time, and cant catch a ball over the middle of the field (like a true #1 can).
Trading Lynch is a mistake. Really trading any player from this team that has any value is foolish. There arent enough weapons as it is, so trading them for mid round draft picks makes the least amount of sense.
And for the record, RB's are not a dime a dozen. Elite guys go in the first round. The ham and eggers, and grinders go later. Thank god we have both on this team.
