Alexander had a body of work, but what NFL highlight reel features even one of his iconic runs? Lynch, with Beast Mode 1 & 2, will forever be enshrined in NFL film lore.
Alexander will always live under the shadow of having his path paved by one of the best lines ever assembled. Lynch never had that luxury, and singularly fought for every yard.
Lynch is almost a household name, drawing fans from around the league, and even non-NFL fans, alike.
I think there is a good argument for him to join the ring before Alexander, Wagner, and Wilson.
No, but Lynch will live under the shadow of knowing he had one of the best running QBs in the league during his heyday in Seattle.
As to Wagner and Wilson. An argument could be made for both over Much more easily
Wilson without Wilson there is no Murry or any QB under 6 foot being drafted #1 or even the first round. He changed the way people think about QBs. Let's add in He is #1 in every Qb stat in Seattle but he is also top 5 in rushing stats
As to Wagner, he was the leading tackler of one of the best defenses in league history.
Mind you I am not an alexander fan but his stats are way better than Lynch's, and you can make all the arguments you want about the line etc, But Lynch also had his advantages he was in a run-first system, he had a running QB that helped a lot. In fact, Lynch is 4th in rushing gues who is 5th...Wilson. Lynch played more years here but less everything than Alexander.
To me I agree Lynch should get in, as an RB but not before alexander. As of now before Wagner and Wilson since they are still playing.
Wilson is forever overshadowed by Lynch; Wilson was a battery but Lynch and LOB the Engine and Transmission.
Wilson is still trying to live up to the legacy they left behind which I think is why he is having the problems he has now in his game.
