Also, they talked about Crosby and not bringing in any competition. I do not like that as I think the competition is of the upmost importance for him, given his issues with accuracy. You have to at least push him more than he might be pushing himself (which hopefully is pretty hard).

Cindy – great thought re Lynch for Harrell. Funny.

Trav – finally read that Wilde piece. Interesting – though it seems like a carbon copy of articles written in each of the last 3 years by various Packer writers. How a guy can maintain a positive attitude dealing with this I don’t know, but I definitely commend him for it. I guess I do tend to agree with TT – at some point, and man I hope it’s here, Bishop will get his chance and lots of people will wonder why he hasn’t been starting all along like his cohorts Willis/Beason etc.

That being said, I’d rather see a pass rush being added in GB than another RB.

There is a chance that Lynch”shapes up” but more then likely at some point in the next few years he screws up again and lands himself a season long suspension and/or jail time. Not giving up anything for that kind of risk.

Maybe sign him once he is released to give him a test run…

His future isn’t known and they would rather get something now before it’s too late, then to wait and find out what the future is. Because I’ll tell you one thing, even if we got him, there is no guarantee he’ll do anything for our team.

He had a great rookie campaign. But does he want to put in all the hours to continually improve? We don’t know if he can ever match his rookie campaign, never mind continue to succeed and do better.

And the other big thing is has he learned anything? Being in trouble, getting suspended, isn’t always enough to keep them from getting in trouble again. Should he get in trouble again (another question the Bills don’t want to wait to see) Lynch would be looking at a much stiffer penalty and pretty much lose any value he had.

Bottom line, I think the Bills are really interested in moving him. They can still get something now, meanwhile they may not be able to get anything for him in just a season from now. And not only the fact they can get something from him, the fact that they can afford to move him. Andy is spot on with this entire article, Fred Jackson did a marvelous job last year, and looks to have a better head on his shoulder. And bringing in a guy like C.J spiller spells the want to move on from Lynch.

And another good point that Andy brings up is the fact coming to Green Bay, he will be surrounded by great players, and great people. Players like Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Charles Woodson, Nick Barnett, Ryan Pickett, Al Harris etc. Players who are respected amongst the league, and are great people as well. They aren’t going to take any of Lynch’s crap, and that can be the breaking point in keeping Lynch in control.

All in all, if we can get him at an affordable price, it’s worth a consideration. Coming here is a much better place, and hopefully makes him work hard and stay out of trouble. We know the guy has talent – but even the most talented people need to put in the work day in, and day out. And that is why he’s worth a look. He’s a talented guy who CAN make it in this league as a great player. That’s why, if the price is right, this could be a steal, and if it don’t work, we didn’t risk much.

And I dunno, just pairing him up with Grant seems deadly if Lynch is playing to his full potential.
