how can u be a bust if youve never started and Lynch is infront of you??
Very easily. Re: Christine Michael.

and maybe he was just not needed here cause he wasnt the best blocker, u do realize there are teams that dont require that as much??
Technically the Hawks are one of those teams. We are a run first team, and he is not a fullback. So this is a perplexing statement, but ok.

like where he is going, the Cowboys....
Who runs a very similar offense to the Hawks...but again, ok...

he just wasnt the right fit for the Hawks system, but to call him a bust after a couple years is something a casual fan would say,
And now we get into the name calling. Way to go dude.

so im not gonna sit here and argue with something like that cause its foolish...
Yet, thats EXACTLY what you are doing.

how many times have RBs come out of the wood work after being traded or released ?? its happened MANY times, shit just look at a guy like Justin Forsett if u need to see what a RB That doesnt pass block well but fits a scheme can do for themselves if they get in where they fit in...
OK..name some. And Forsett was a VERY good pass blocker..the fuck are you going on about, dude? Your credibility is slowly slipping away...

Locker had injury issues, i cant name as single legit sports fan that calls players busts who spent half their time injured, and its Lockers fault that the Titans chose him that early knowing he had mechanical issues?? just stop dude
Being a good player, and being injured all the time...that qualifies as a BUST. Because staying healthy is a part of showing how good you are. If you cant do that, than you're a bust. Besides that, Jake Locker was a hell of an ATHLETE, but was a mediocre QB. HUGE DIFFERENCE. Guy ran the t-wing all of HS and had to learn from scratch how to be a pocket passer. It never worked. Lifes a bitch, he is retired, get the fuck on with life.

Michael made blocking improvements, he just chose to improvise more than stick to the actual game plan which worked GREAT for him sometimes and other times not so much...
Well, his bad huh? And thats why his ass aint here no more.

maybe the Hawks shouldnt have drafted him so high?? ever think of that instead of thinking something is wrong with Michael???
Hindsight is always 20/20.

Hawks KNEW he couldnt block for shit, yet drafted him still... u act like its always 1 persons fault lol
Im not acting like anything breh. The fuck is wrong with you? Why are you so angry/emo about losing Michael? You seem to be the only that cares. All the rest of us "casual fans" could really give a shit less.

I dont know who you have been watching the last 3 preseasons, but I have watched a guy who cant hit holes right, fumbles, and has trouble picking up the blitz. And yes, being drafted where he was, as a RB in this day and age and not preforming....thats a BUST. Anyway you slice it. Is that his fault? Maybe, maybe not. Some have said his attitude and work ethic were not very strong...thats a personal issue with him he needs to work out.

LMFAO u said i called u names cause i called u a casual, i even had to prop u for that cause its so funny and sensitive on your part to even take offense to that lol .....and no hes not a bust, your the only person ive heard even consider him that, u cannot be a bust when you have never been given a shot.... want to know what a BUST is??? Trent Richardson, thats a bust.... Michaels fumble issue wasnt nearly as bad this preseason, what were u watching?? his blocking improved VASTLY, even dropped a up n coming pro bowler prolly in Dee Ford straight on his ass, what were u watching?? so the fact he improved slightly every season meas hes a bust?? and KNOWING he was beyond raw coming outta A&M everyone and their mom that knows football knew he was a project that would take multiple years to even get half ready for the true NFL game, all of this for some reason makes no sense to you and yet it makes perfect sense to the Seahawks who drafted him... Hawks know their window wont last forever and they wanted a better blocker and a guy who could catch passes outta the backfield, and they got it, if Turbin woulda been healthy he woulda been gone and its OBVIOUS... wanna talk busts?? how about Turbin?? a guy who has only gotten stiffer and slower and has shown ZERO improvement in his overall game for a full 2 seasons now, literally this is ALL he has and hasnt improved one lick in any other aspect... call him a bust then, hell call every backup RB a bust cause your logic basically points to it.... its a internet forum, dont be so sensitive its just football chatter and its for fun and for getting opinions out, i know what i said isnt wrong so im not really too worried, i know exactly what Michael was capable of and i knew exactly what to expect from him and when to expect it by, he is by far not even close to done with his career yet

Naw man this is clearly the Allegheny Athletic Association's fault as if they had not made football a professional sport in 1890, Michaels would never have had a pro league to bust in.

They probably thought they could teach him how to block decently, and be ok with taking contact, and not fumble, and mature. But he didn't so they cut their losses which honestly isn't much of a loss since they're high draft picks typically suck anyways.

Losing Turbin is a far bigger loss, since he, you know, actually contributed to the team. He is a solid backup. Hopefully this Rawls kid and fill that role.

Don't bother responding to that little bitch, he knows nothing.

Just call him a kike and keep it moving.

Turbin got picked up by the Browns yesterday.


I saw that which sucks but honestly Rawls will be better than Turbin IMO and he is younger and makes the same money.

I am surprised we let Turbin and Michael go at the same time when you look towards the future though. We are cool with Lynch - Jackson - Rawls this year but Jackson is 34 and who knows how many more years before Lynch retires.

It wouldn't be terribly surprising to see both Jackon and Lynch retire after this season which would leave us with just Rawls going into next year.
