I'm sorry, but I couldn't possibly disagree more. While Charles is a huge risk with his surgically-repaired knees & likely one clip away from another catastrophic injury (assuming he even somehow manages to usurp Anderson & Booker; a prospective goal which he has about a snowball's chance in hell of realizing), a well-rested & more physically sound Marshawn Lynch is poised to seamlessly step into the role of early-down workhorse back with Oakland, virtually unchallenged by the team's tandem of more diminutive sophomore backs who, while undeniably talented in their own right, are by stature & skill-set inherently better suited to support roles & 3rd down passing options out of the backfield. I'm not saying that Washington & Richard couldn't adequately fill a backfield-by-committee role, but there's simply no question that Lynch, particularly behind the blocking of that stellar interior, is far & away better suited & the odds-on favourite to secure the role of full-time workhorse back.
