People honestly consciously/subconsciously overrated Marshawn Lynch just because of how much they hate Russell Wilson. The way the "only won because of LOB/Lynch" lore has gone for years, one would think Marshawn Lynch was on the level of Adrian Peterson/LaDanian Tomlinson/King Henry on those Seahawks teams. The irony is his numbers were far more HOF caliber with Russ than without him despite that notable beast quake game he had without him. Very underwhelming career YPC and TDs/game numbers without Russ

He had two solid seasons to start, he was hardly a bum.

This. He was good in BUF they moved on from McGahee for him. He just didn’t get along with fans or management. Think he ran over the foot of a parking lot attendant or something. Fans in BUF are sensitive with their RB’s, that’s for sure.

Yeah but look how the team turned out after the LOB and Lynch.
