Exactly, his signing bonus didn't cover it. Just like the op said, you can take these guys out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of them. I.E. Mike Vick.

With a handle like "Ricky4Life" I'm sure you backed him all through his problems with dope, walking out on the team, etc. Even when some of his own team mates had enough of his BS and most on this board had him labled for a bum.

Lynch is a dope, he was fooling around, apparently he knew the woman. Unforunately for him he's the type of personality that just doesn't get it.

Many of these players, like Vick as you mention, come from backgrounds and beat some long odds that I'm sure a middle class white kid would have trouble fully comprehending.

On the other hand, I always liked Ricky and was glad he made a come back. Even though he was a Dolphin, it was a good end for a man who had some questions and found some peace for himself.

Funny though, how most people want the benifit of the doubt, understanding and a second chance unless it applies to someone other than themselves.

If/When Lynch gets his act together, he can be one hell of a running back. It'll be a waste of talent if he doesn't apply himself.

He's out of Buffalo. Jackson is his replacement.

1st rd. picks that don't work out are such a setback. Especially when there are upwards of half a dozen in a decade.

No one has drafted the 1st round worse than the Bills and the talent they got, they let go and replaced again with high picks. Duh. Winfield, Clements, for two.

Lynch doesn't even have any trade value. Someone will pick him up after whatever suspension and he may wake up and work out. He's like a big dum kid, always joking and pulling pranks.

Ricky is cut from different cloth. Were Lynch appears to be a thug, Williams was more of seeker of something meaningful, mind you, he chose the conscious altering route with pot, but he wasn't a bad guy. Not saying Lynch is bad either, just dum.

Comparing Ricky to Lynch is a little hard as the personalities are totally different. Ricky does not play into that gang banger personality. Yes he did do weed, which had a lot to do with a medical condition. Was it the right way to handle it no, but it was his choice. Did he retire early and walk out on his team?? Yes it can be looked at it that way through someone's eyes. Or you can look at it the way he did and he see's his friend Earl Campbell barely able to walk around without assistance because of the abuse he went through during his career. And with Ricky running the ball 30 to 40+ times a game, I can not blame him. I am sure he would love to be able to walk around and play with his kids and grandkids one day. And because someone is a Middle Class white kid you think they had it easy growing up?? You don't think we can come from a single family home just like any other race?? Because I have food in my fridge and clothes on my back means I have never had an obstacle in my way or had to work for anything?? I work for FedEx delivering packages 50+ hours a week, when its a 110+ degrees out here in AZ and have a lot more responsibility then any other 24 year old that I know. I am married and have two kids. Had my first one at age 21. Given I make a lot more money then a lot of other people my age but I work my *** off for it. I am sorry if I do not feel bad for someone that gets paid to play a game that any man would give both of his nuts to do, while they piss it away on cars, *****'s, and bling.
 
Using Ricky as an Lynch analogy is comparing apples to oranges....

Ricky at one time was his own worst enemy while Marshawn has potential of becoming everyone else's. Ricky's the kind of guy you'd like to spend time hitting the bars with, Lynch is becoming one you'd be relieved to see behind them.
 
Wow the people on that forum are racist as hell, not everyone but the people who spew out malicious comments. Can't we just all call him an idiot and be done with it?
