daineraider Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I’m fine with it. The guy is off, but he can be very good. Hopefully we find a replacement sooner than later though (Martin isn’t a replacement). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyghost Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Humongous boo if he is distracted with TV crap, exists outside of team rules, and is generally uncommitted. If not, ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Lmao. Everyone saying "boo" based on purely on the field don't know football. People have been ducking me left and right with garbage answers. CLEARLY the Raiders saw that Mr. Lynch tied for the NFL rush lead in the last 8 games in Downing's pathetic offense and know what he's capable of. Please watch the games people who think Lynch is average/mediocre. For the haters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich7sena Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I've always been on board in keeping Lynch, but the Martin signing suggests a younger option won't be tapped early in the draft. In some ways, I'm happy RB might not be in consideration early in the draft because it frees up room for the team to attack other positions of need, but I was semi-hyped on seeing the team add an explosive element in the backfield. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best offensive skill position player on the field last year #casualfan Also, if you think that it was Lynch's responsibility to save us from Downing's offense, I don't know what to tell you.

We'll see. My feelings exactly. I hope we luck out and manage to find someone in the mid rounds who perhaps gets lost in the run on RBs in rounds 2-3. I'm just glad we don't HAVE to pick one up early with so many needs we have elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't lie, the idea of us having one main back that gets most of the snaps, and that back being Lynch, is way more exciting than the RB by committee we've been doing.

Not getting value at a strong position in this class. Younger, cheaper and more upside. And it's a huge mistake IMO to ignore RB in this class early.

NJ Raider Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I agree. I have no problem with lynch, but I love this rb class and hate that we passed on kamara because of him . We do have many other needs though. Based on free agency, I think we go defense round one and oline in the second. You could argue that with all of the depth, rbs are intended to fall. I really want a versatile, explosive back for this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Signing Murray with McKinnon already on the roster didn't stop the Vikings from drafting Cook last season. I don't think signing Martin can suggest anything except that they weren't pleased with the depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
