I have no idea where he should rank, if in the top 25 at all, but I enjoy watching him run more than any RB in recent memory. Would like to hear y'alls opinions.

Not good enough to get the ball on the goal line in the super bowl

I'd take active RBs like Adrian Peterson, Steven Jackson and Frank Gore in their prime any day of the week over Lynch.

He's a really good running back, though.

Frank Gore
I don't know if I would put Frank ahead of Lynch.

Certainly not Jackson either

I think AP is ahead of him. But I'll take Lynch over both Jackson and Gore.

Oh nice a Gif of him embarrassing a 6-7 years removed from his prime Ray Lewis. Marshawn Lynch doesn't even show up on the radar of all-time backs.

Prime Chris Johnson aka CJ2K or Lynch? Jamaal Charles or Lynch? I think prime AP is better than Lynch. Frank Gore or Lynch? MJD in his prime or Lynch?

I think Lynch wins several of those matchups, but I don't think he sets himself apart that much. I'm not sure he's top 25 all time, but it's worth noting running backs have a huge hill to climb now in order to make it into that range. Must have sustained excellence for a long period of time. Frank Gore has just barely broken into that Top 25 range and he's 31

The second sentence is correct but the 1st one is so bad that it's worth a downvote. That's a filthy move on any NFL player.

He's a great player, the problem he has is there are just so many great running backs that have played in the NFL.

AP is definitely better than him, and you could make arguments for Shady McCoy and Jamaal Charles.

I'd probably put Lynch right above Corey Dillon in the all-time hierarchy.

He's Fred Taylor with a better offensive line.

You'd think for all the highlights of Lynch, his career YPC would be higher than 4.3.

Hell, his 4.5 years in Seattle his stats are: 1346 carries, 5930 yards (79.1 YPG), 4.41 YPC, 54 TDs, 6 FumL
