You need a QB before you start talking dynasty.

Ha!

Well first, I think you're sort of missing what we said. The comment was that he would be one of the top 5 wanted RBs by GMs going forward. That would elevate him over older guys like Lynch, Gore,...

I guess I'm not sure why you're cherry picking the games where he played poorly. Hardly any running backs have the exact same amount of yards every week, that's why it's an average. Cherry picking...

A little optimistic there, no?

Harang sucks and our outfield defense is just horrendous. Brutal.

Great post.

His receiving ability has always been a major asset for him, and one that many here are overlooking.

Every running back has had a game or two where they went off. It doesn't mean they should be penalized for it.

But we're talking about the next 5 years from his current age.

Yep, I agree with the noob.

If you're looking at Martin as a pure RB then I wouldn't disagree that top 5 is premature, but when you look at what he can do as a blocker, in addition to being the second best pass catching RB in...

He will inevitably break down, like all running backs do, but so far he has been insanely durable, whether in the NFL or at Boise State.

I look at outliers being more relative when it's a guy who...

People use "compiling" as a negative, but a durable RB is very much a positive. The list of RBs who can't handle a full workload is very lengthy.

I've also never understood the concept of removing...

Well if people are going to complain about all the "hawk threads" they should place their frustrations in the right directions.

Agree 100%. He can do everything. He will always be one of the best running backs in the pass game and he has good speed to go with his obvious power ability. People have always slept on his...

Martin will never be the best running back in the league at any point, but he is surprisingly dynamic. He has really good speed for his size and strength and can catch the ball out of the backfield...

Wrong thread.

Doug Martin would absolutely be a top 5 RB choice for a GM going forward.

No GM is taking 2-3 years of Lynch, Rice, Foster or Gore over Martin's potential.

As is often the case, the "Seahawks thread derailments" are often started by non-Seahawks fans.

Sherman has been in the top 5 in passer rating against every season he's played. He just didn't get a lot of attention until he started talking.

Washington has liberals though...

I kid, I kid.

Agreed.

Beat me to it. Out of the 5, Browner was the ONLY starter. Dumb comment.

In the infamous words of Ichiro:

"If I ever said I was excited to go to Cleveland, I'd punch myself in the face".

I imagine a few Ms feel that way right now.
