That's true but Lynch is a much bigger factor in their offense than Percy was. I wouldn't be surprised though if they don't want him back either,they made that much clear enough before the season started.
I'd love to hear how Hawks fans feel about Turbin and Michael and if they'd be able to take over that work load.
I think that they'd form a very potent timeshare, and Michael really has some game breaking play making ability.
But man, the way Lynch runs, his grit and determination, his fight. His whole attitude toward the game, that's a part of this team's identity.
You've got Wilson as the leader, a humble young man who is very personable and great with the media,
you've got Sherman who is the outspoken, brash, in your face leader of the defense,
and then you've got Mr. I'm Just About That Action Boss, Marshawn Lynch who lets his play say everything there needs to be said for him.
He has the ability to ignite the offense and motivate the team unlike any one player on the Seahawks. They can be down multiple scores and all it'll take is one Lynch beastquake run to totally change the momentum of the game and bring Seattle right back to life.
And that's an intangible you can't really replace. You can't just go out and draft that, you can't just groom Michael to be that, you can't go sign someone else to do that.
So yeah, his production might be able to be replicated, but what he brings to the team really cannot.
If Seattle is smart they trade Michael while he's still thought of as a valuable, high-upside commodity and do everything in their power to retain Lynch.
