POLL Is Marshawn Lynch a Hall of Fame Running Back?

[The Q]

You do enjoy standing in the middle of the field naked while a whole stadium laughs at you, I'll give you that.

Well when your shit dangles on the turf....you run with it.

Plus, it's fun when you're right. Watching people twist and dance around you trying to show how their idiotic opinion is wrong.

I voted yes and I'll make the case for Lynch. I think he is potentially HOF worthy. He retired early yet is compared to guys who stuck around way past their prime. I'd say playoff performance is something often overlooked. If Lynch had stuck around a few more years he would easily have the 10,000+ yards. With NFL becoming so oriented towards passing and 30 years old being the ceiling age for most RB's, its highly unlikely we see many more RB's make it past that 10,000 mark.

If Adrian Peterson makes the HOF then Lynch deserves to as well. Lynch was a beast in the playoffs while AP is known for fumbling away games.

I figured you'd actually be physically able to fvck yourself.

Uh-huh, except the people who have every reason to agree with you, don't. But you keep dangling your johnson in the grass buddy.

That's why the tape doesn't lie.

You're exhibit #1 of how people can convince themselves of pretty much anything. Exhibit #2 is another Hoop poster who figures any high school QB in the nation is > Brady. #3 is any flat earther.

But seriously, I'm out on this sidebar, let's get back to the faux outrage over Seahawk fans so we can make #2 some money.

The video 100% backs me up. So it's easy.

 

[Judge Fudge]

No for 2 reasons:

A) Media votes who is in and Beast never indeared himself to the media.

B) Stats don't add up. Those guys whoes didn't have those stats were media darlings (Bettis).

Do I think that he is a wall of Fame? Fuck ya

Do I think that he deserves his Jersey retired? Fuck ya

Is he HOF? Hell no

The only thing I will disagree with on this is the whole "If AP makes the HOF then Lynch deserves to as well." AP throughout most of his career has been considered not only the best player on his entire team but the best RB in the NFL without really anybody questioning somebody saying something like that. I mean all the time we have arguments over who was the best QB, WR, TE, OT, Defensive players and such but at RB it has been AP for quite some time. Injuries have sidelined him just a bit but otherwise he has flat out dominated. Heck we saw the one year he pretty much carried the Vikings to the playoffs coming off a very serious injury. He also has the MVP trophy to go along with all that he has done.

So AP above any other RB in the league or that is waiting to get in probably has the strongest case to actually get into the HOF at the position.

The Bus > Marshawn Lynch

And it has nothing to do with Marshawn Lynch's dull, uninspiring mistreatment of the media ( wildly applauded and admired by dimwit Seahawks fans).

Call them 12's it gets a better reaction.

 

[jakedog56]

The HOF is based on stats. Lynch needed a couple of more productive seasons.

Terrell Davis, Kenny Easley, Steve Atwater, Sterling Sharpe, Marshawn Lynch, etc. etc. Lots of players who have more talent than some who are in but just did have the stats.

On talent alone? Yes, Lynch would be in. In reality? No. Not a chance.

That mindset will stand you in good stead moving forward with your life.

 

[Manster7588]

Funny, Seahawks while I'm sure they'd be happy if PI wad called have said it was the right call and have moved on. But Q with no dog in the fight except his Patriot hate stands alone in his stance.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

So who was the better player -- Bettis or Lynch?
