You'll soon love him when he returns the opening kickoff of a game to the house and then follows it up with a 68 yard scramble.

Hell yeah! Lynch has been showing a bit of disdain during the off season, he actually just started showing up. I think I would rather have him thuggin it up and being excited about playing for the team, than the emotions he is showing now. I would have rather traded him for a second (if we got lucky). We know Action Jackson is a beast.Lynch needs an O-line to be successful whereas Jackson just turns up field. Lynch didn't produce much last year because he had no where to run and got caught dancing at the line every down. I wouldn't mind having Spiller as the no. 2, only after seeing his college highlights.

They do need a QB, but that isn't anywhere near how bad they still need an LT, or pretty much any solid O-lineman. I think, given the chance, any of the QBs could be great. Edwards has great potential, but is a nervous wreck without protection. After that hit during the Cards game week 5/6 of 08 he is too scared to hold on to the ball and look down field, or even wait until something develops, but its not like he has the time. He is a great player when he settles down and trusts his offense. Fitz on the other hand, isn't that great, but doesn't resort to check downs to Jackson like Trent. He had a few pretty 40+ passes last year, but makes poor decisions and would be a better backup. I don't think they have really been given ample opportunity due to the lack of protection.
