Football Whos the better RB: Marshawn Lynch or Jamaal Charles?

Who would you choose if you had a choice?

Looks like Charles is a better receiver, and yards per carry guy, but Lynch is a better TD guy.

Completely different styles. Lynch is much more physical and harder to bring down, Charles is more of a homerun threat but is easier to tackle. I wish we could have both.

You know how I know that you're BlackBob?

Charles. There's an argument that JC is the best in the league at the moment. I don't think you could make that argument for Lynch.

Lynch is a better TD guy because he bitches and moans if his team doesn't give him three straight carries on first and goal. He's a TD whore and the seahawks always always run the ball when they're close. I've seen him throw a couple fits when he doesn't get carries on the goal line.

Jamaal don't give a shit. Forty yards out is a goal line carry for him.

This guy? Nah.

Lynch.

I love Marshawn though, he's a fabulous back.

Yeah, though it cost us in these playoffs, I have to respect JC's chillness.

I didn't have a concussion and probably could've helped us win the game, but the NFL has their rules and I respect that.

Yeah, Derrick Johnson knocked me unto next Tuesday in a meaningless game. But we want the Pro-Bowl to be competitive and everyone to play all out.

If it was Donnell Bennett saying these things . . . but it ain't.

My top 2 backs in the league are Charles and Shady. They are interchangeable to me. Of course there is AP but he had a down year. Rounding out my top 5 would be Lynch then Forte

I seriously wonder if AD going forward will ever be available for a full season. He's awesome, but I think he's going to miss at least 2 games unless they platoon a guy with him a bit more.

Yeah it's sad.. He will go down as an all time great, but I feel like he does get overrated a bit by the majority of the country. He is not as untouchable as people think. You are better off taking him out during passing downs while jamaal and shady do it all.

Wallcrawler · 01-31-2014, 11:37 AM

I like them both, but Jamaal Charles is the better back. He's a threat to go the distance every play, he can run, he can receive, he blocks well, and he was up until his exit 6 plays into the wildcard game, the heart and soul of the KC offense.

Lynch isn't a guy that is going to account for 1/3 of your team's offense despite every defense you face gameplanning specificly to stop him.

Jamaal don't give a shit. Forty yards out is a goal line carry for him.

To be fair, if I coached either and didn't give them three chances to get in, I'd be a very dumb coach.....
