Not sure how you could jump to this conclusion. Lynch was coming off an injury, and needed an entire year to heal just to be slightly above average for the Raiders this year (#15 in rushing). That certainly doesn't translate to dominating for us delivering another SB in 2016.
I'm open to all sorts of theories as to what we should have done over the past 2-3 years;
1. Not trade for Graham
2. Not give guys like Kam, Richard and Bennett extensions
3. Not sign Joeckel and go harder after Lang, etc
4. Have the cap space to resign Haushka instead of dumpster diving for Walsh
5. Fire Bevell and Cable earlier than we did
Lots of scenarios that could have made sense and kept this train rolling..............but keeping Lynch, his bloated salary and all the nonsense that came with him? Nope, that was ABSOLUTELY the right decision.
