Who would you rather have (in their prime) for a superbowl run this year. I have to say Alexander

He has great yardage, but he is a good handful of TD's behind what 37 put up year after year. The guy was a red zone monster.
you add a couple thousand yards to Shaun's numbers and you are talking a lock for the HOF. If Lynch can win the MVP with AP playing, kinda like Alexander did with that guy in SD playing, I'll change my vote.

We all know that a RB's success is linked to how well his line blocks. Lynch has shown a history in Seattle of being able to make something out of nothing when he's been hit behind the line. And this season, he's seen a few more holes opened by the O-line, and has his best season as a result. But this line isn't even remotely in the same league as the O-line behind which Alexander operated. And while I love Mike Rob, he's nowhere near Mack Strong as a blocker. I think that if you put Lynch behind our 2005 line and FB, he'd have matched Alexander's production, at the very least. I think, conversely, if you put Alexander behind our 2011/2012 line and FB, he'd have a harder time matching Lynch's production... he was more of a gliding, make-them-miss runner, and I think he'd have taken more hits and have had a harder time finding open field to hit that extra gear he found on so many of his longer runs.
