Marshawn Lynch's good deed

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.

      Hey guys, remember when we won those meaningless games in 2010 and it cost us the #1 pick and the chance to draft Cam? Oh.... right I get that's more of an extreme example because it got us a HOF caliber QB.  But it's the general concept, you want to win late season games when you have the pieces in place to make a run the next season, we currently are not in that place. Herbert and Sewell are the ones I point to so much, because we literally lost out on 2 franchise different makers by 1 draft slot.  Give us those two players while we still have CMC, Moore, and the rest of the picks we gave up for Bryce, and we'd have been a legit playoff contender the last few years. Draft position matters in the NFL more than any other sport (other than the #1 pick in the NBA in a year with a generational talent).

      It’s so crazy. If we had a shot for pick 1 and there was some generational player there then yeah maybe I could get behind the draft position argument. I’d say most GMs and coaches aren’t diving into the draft right now. They are trying to win games.
