Future Running Back? Ranking our backfield.

[yeastmode]

I'm on the bandwagon for Michael as the future feature back. But I'm going to cry when Lynch is no longer our beast out there. He's the guy who's kept the team trucking during the Pete/JS years, obviously punctuated by the run against the Saints. I love, love, LOVE a guy who gets positive yardage even when he gets nailed behind the LOS.

Agreed. Not that any of us are, but don't be quick to usher BeastMode out the door. Lynch is special. As good as some of our young RBs may be down the road, I don't think any of them will ever have the kind of ability to read defenses, make tacklers miss and run over those that don't miss the way Lynch does. Let's make sure we are enjoying him like the once-in-a-football-generation talent that he is while he is here, and hoping he stays here as long as possible. Our youngsters can wait and hopefully learn something so they can maybe come close to providing as much enjoyment as we have had watching BeastMode in the time we've been privileged to call him our own.
