Marshawn Lynch Retiring

[Avery]

Can't say I blame him. Rawls is the future in Seattle and Lynch, for all his quirks, knows that there's no reason to play the game if he can't play it at the highest level.

Those 2144 rushing attempts is a lot for a career especially for a running back who got hit as much and as hard as he did. I've seen other running backs with more rushing attempts in their career who got hit far fewer times than Lynch.

Him and Megatron are going to sit the year out and reunite on the Las Vegas Raiders.

He will get fat. Feast Mode!

He will get fat. Feast Mode!

...and get Skittles Pox.

Probably one of my favorite guys on and off the field in the league. I think he can still play but I don't think he cares too anymore. HE has his ring, has his money. Perfect time to depart.

He is still pissed they didn't give him the ball in last years Super Bowl instead of Wilson throwing that stupid pick.

Thats such a Beast Mode retirement

 

[John813]

Wow.

Handful of surprising retirements since the end of last season.

Thought he had another year or two of being a very good back.
Guess he's going out on a somewhat high note and before possibly suffering a major injury.

kind of an *** to announce right when the SB ended

why, it gets lost in the shuffle

why, it gets lost in the shuffle

not really, it was discussed quite a bit last night on NFLN in the post game show. let the Broncos enjoy their moment, it's why Manning didn't announce his retirement, when we al know he will. It takes away from the team, he becomes an even bigger story than he is now.

CJohnson was talked about all day on ESPN. Lynch barely gets a blurb which is how he wants it. He just wants to go away and people are still dogging him for it. #cantwin.

I didn't watch ESPN, but I can tell you NFLN picked up the tweet and talked about it quite a bit. I think they even said it was retweeted 150k times within the first hour

Was ESPN really talking about CJohnson after the game, when the focus should be on the winners?

thats because it was so cool and understated. he doesn't have to explain it any further

There is more than enough time to dissect every bit of the game. The winners got their fair share and the losers got more than they wanted.

Stop being a such a hater

the tweet isn't what I think was out of place, the timing is what I think was, so while I do think that was a cool way to announce it, tweeting that next week would have been better imo.

there's a reason most players and teams don't make major announcements during championship moments, doesn't make me a hater for recognizing that, but sure keep thinking I am a hater...
