Seattle would be wise to test the waters on a Marshawn trade. You might get a 2nd round pick for him right now. After next season, you'd be lucky to get anything given his age and cap hit- everyone would assume we'd just release him which would kill his trade value.
But if we keep him that's great too. C-Mike had some issues staying healthy in college, Turbin hasn't produced and Ware is unproven.
Hard to produce averaging less than 5 carries per game. And If some of those holds aren't called, he's likely averaging the same YPC as Lynch (if not more) and doing so with less opportunity. Less carries = less rhythm= less YPC.
It's not like Lynch gets his 4.3 every time he touches the ball. He gets 1, he gets 2, he gets 2, he gets 7, he gets 1.5, he gets 2, he loses 2, he gets 3, he gets 35.
We seldom see Turbin get the luxury of reps and when we have, like the couple series in the SB...he ripped one off.
Turbin doesn't exactly dazzle me, but I don't think he was drafted to dazzle. Our line isn't exactly blowing holes open for either man. He gives our 1 back rest, blocks well, holds onto the ball, he's dirt cheap, experienced, yet fresh and with more reps, will do more things. I think Turbin is doing as well as expected and will still be here after Lynch is gone.
