Poll: Extend Walker or Lucas?

[FrodosFinger]

Lucas. Walker is a one trick pony and second string on the depth charts to Zach Charbonnet

 

[NoGain]

His knee is fine.

Lucas himself stated he has no idea why Pete said it was degenerative, when all he did was mangle it REALLY bad. He also stated himself when he came back that it's fixed and just needs some time to get into playing shape. He was basically laughing at the fact that Pete/Fans thought he was "finished" when all he needed was a little bit of time.

Old man Pete had no idea what he was talking about when it came to that knee, and basically started a rumor for no reason about the severity of the injury.

Rest assured, that knee is not a long term concern.

I never heard of/read of what you said, toffee. I guess I missed all of that, and I'm a pretty diehard Hawks fan. I'm glad someone finally pointed it out to me. It's a good thing. Where did you see/hear/read that from that evaded me all this time? Every time I mentioned it here, no one corrected me or informed me otherwise.

He (Lucas) was doing some interviews when he was in the rehab process and working out, when he was coming back. Not sure if it was on official Seahawks media or local coverage.

It cracks me up how many YouTube Seahawks people
Think reek is really good. And that we don’t even need to try and replace him. The guy plays lazy so much, and isn’t a willing tackler.

Yes. The Jets game last year was the last straw. Pulled up on an easy tackle, allowed a first down that would have ended the game otherwise. Love even jumped his ass. That was it for me.

 

[JayhawkMike]

I am so tired of the team coddling the walking injured year after year after year . . .

 

[GemCity]

Love both these guys when healthy. I won’t claim that Charb is better than Walker when both at their peak but, I just love Charbs running game.

With Martinez added and let’s not forget Kmac…man…didn’t expect t much out of Kmac but every time he touched the ball, he looked good.

I’m assuming Walker is the lead back again…just hoping he can stay healthy. I wouldn’t touch an extension if things are ‘dicey’.

No doubt. Also, the game where he did the throat slash when he hadn't done squat all day. Next play, dude owns him for a TD.

 

[hawkfan68]

There should be a third choice....."neither". Both are great when healthy but their track record is that they have an issue staying healthy.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Walker ain’t all cracked up to what many think but Charbonnet is an every down back. He’s a poor man’s Saquon Barkley and will thrive in this offense

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He's not in the same stratosphere as Saquon fricken Barkley.

I did say poor man’s. He handles contact well and runs well between the tackles. Walker needs to get his ass in gear

 

[FrodosFinger]

Charbonnet is a freak. He busted loose for 200 yards against the Cards last year now imagine his production in this Kubiak 2 tight end offense.

Agree to disagree. Walker is a beast. I like Charbs too. Not everything has to be a competition and/or this guy sucks etc. Great problem to have, they're both good RB's. Charbs is not a freak, he's a decent back who had a few good games. He's not as good as K9, I won't change my opinion on that until I see him consistently get it done.

Somehow those few good games made Charbs the next Derrick Henry.

Semi-Sarcasm.........

JS knows a lot more about Lucas' knee and K9s ankles/abs/groin than any of us. I feel like both are completely dependant on whether they play this season ;showing those recurring injuries are completely healed or they'll continue to be recurring. They're both valuable under a particular price and they're both replaceable over a certain price. That price will be set by production and availability this season.

If we're just predicting with the small amount of information we have right now: Lucas has been shown lifting on his bad knee and in great shape. K9 has had multiple different injuries and plays such that injuries are inevitable. Odds are that Lucas is a higher percentage bet to add value longterm, still dependent on price.

I agree that Lucas would be the proper choice considering the issues Seattle has in drafting , developing and keeping good linemen. My prediction is both of them will play well this season and set themselves up for a payday.

I think Woolen is going to have a good season as well and for the same reason. He HAS to.

Injury risk: Lucas higher
Star power: K9 higher
Longevity: equal
Win more games: ?
Sell more tickets: K9

 

[Jac]

They have to do a vibe check on Lucas's knee during training camp and get it done. The NFL will pay a fortune for a starting RT with his potential.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm still laughing about Charbs being a freak. But hey, we all have our opinions.
