I really think you all would expect me to hate the guy but I do not.  I love Lynch.  I love his play, I adore his personality because he is true to himself even if he is a bit of a jerk, and I very much appreciate the no nonsense approach he takes to a lot of stuff.

 

The Seahawks robbed him from us on that trade, it sucked.  A 4th for him?  Jeesh, but he was not going to succeed in Buffalo and it was better for him even if we wasted the pick.

 

Anyway, Lynch found a wallet at the gas station and drove it to the owner.  He gets a lot of bad press over nonsense but this is making some headlines and it is good to see.  In Buffalo he supposedly took $20 out of a woman's hand at Applebees, refused to pay at several of the locations, and then hit a woman with his truck (though, that was overblown).

Off topic which its good to see him do good btw,

I think the reason buffalo was willing to trade him for a 4th rounder is because the incident when he hit the women with a truck he got charged for a DUI correct? He had a gun charge which resulted in him being suspended, and he was injuried each year he played there. On top of the other stuff going on, he was on the old rookie scale for contracts, Fred Jackson came out of no where (much cheaper and no incidents) which made it easier to let him go. Hindsight is 20/20 but I remember thinking it was good he was traded cause he couldn't stay out of trouble and this could be a wake up call.

Before drafting Spiller the Bills had J Bell, Marshawn and Fred Jackson on their roster.  Then they added Spiller.

 

It was good for him to be traded, Carroll has always loved Lynch - even out of HS.

It was great to do that. I heard it was even a 49ers wallet.

it was a Seattle fan. The guy said he wanted a pic with Lynch at the gas station but decided not to bother him. He was happy his neighbor got to meet Lynch and WR Ricardo Lockette, who unfortunately is getting no credit for the co-good deed bc he's not famous

Yeah, because the NFL fining him for not speaking to the press is a clear indication the guy is a jerk. This because it's the only way you could ever consider it a possibility of knowing the guy.

 

The misdemeanor gun charge in California? The gun was inside his backpack, which was in the trunk of his car. Not like it was on the console next to him. That was in 2009, by the way. Since joining the Seahawks in 2010, there have been no issues... but please don't allow anyone to grow up, mature or otherwise pay their debt and move on.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
