Doesn't have to be the Seahawks? With Lynch, Turbin, Michael,Harvin, Robinson and Ware the Seahawks are so loaded.
Both teams have some unknown in regards to their running game.
Seahawks
1) Will lynch miss some games due to the DUI.
2) Backs going into their second season make their biggest leaps in improving. Due to know the system, terminology, being in sync with team mates. So Turbin has a chance to be a much improved runner.
3) Michael like all rookies will have to show he belongs. However his running style really fits the zone blocking the Seahawks use and I feeling real good about his chances to succeed with the Seahawks.
4) Spencer Ware another rookie who we'll have to wait to see how he does. I get a gut feeling that if he does well in camp he's got a shot to replace Robinson and I like Robinson. Robinson does all the dirty work and a great team mate. So it isn't that he needs replacing...it's just that Ware seems like he could be special.
49ers
1) Gore...what a warrior. I respect this guy, some of his games against us were nothing short of spectacular. However he at the age where ever year you wonder if he finally falls off the cliff performance wise. I think it will not happen this year, but you should at least expect some drop off.
2) Hunter is coming off a injury that forced him to miss a bunch of games. Will he be the same runner? Most likely, but until he shows in in games you just don't know.
3) LaMichael James every thing I said about second year runners applies to him also. I see him being much more of a factor this year.
Both teams gave a great starter and a solid backup and both teams drafted runners that could be their next great running back. I remember the Seahawks before Pete trying to get by with runners like Julius Jones and TJ Duckett, that was plain awful! So I look at our back field now and think...man are we loaded, but the 49ers are also, naturally I like our set better, but I'm looking thru those rose tinted glasses, at least to a small degree.
You like your set better ? Lynch is good but Turbin goes down easier than a $10 Ho and Michael has never played.... Gore, a healthy Hunter and James > Seattles trio....
yeah this doesn't look like a troll post AT ALL lmao
Lynch> Gore Turbin=Hunter Michael>James (james is just to little to withstand a season of 200+ carries)
49ers oline>Seahawks Oline this is a given but that gap is closing. With better play and starters healthy all season for the Hawks on the Oline their RB will only produce better this coming season. All are younger and not near that dreaded 30 wall yet. The Hawks are 27,23,22 years old. 49ers are 30,25,24 ( Marcus is not listed because he will not play this coming season )

What's up dil joe?
I see you dismiss Michael here, yet in other threads talk about how great the RB stable in the long term will be in SF IF Lattimore ever plays.
Tennessee Titans can be in the running. I wouldn't say to the level of Seahawks and 49ers, but they are pretty decent with Chris Johnson and Shonn Greene. I still would put Seahawks and Niners above them though.
How is Christine Michael doing so far? Can he have more touches than Turbin? or is it too early?
Is this for the NFC West only?
Because the combination of Peterson, Gerhart and Felton is pretty tough to beat.
