Seahawks Vs. Panthers Position-By-Position Preview: Running Back
The most prolific rusher in Washington high school football history, Jonathan Stewart, has been on a tear for the Panthers. Unsurprisingly, this tear correlates with Carolina’s win streak.
During the Panther’s six-game losing streak, Stewart averaged 53.3 yards per game, while over their current five-game winning-streak, he is averaging 104.6.
However, I don’t care if Stewart was averaging 200 yards per game. Marshawn Lynch is the best running back in football. Yeah, Demarco Murray and Le’veon Bell made first team All-Pro while Lynch was second. But did you really expect members of the national media to give Lynch a fair shot after his shenanigans in the interview room?
