[QUOTE="porky88, post: 143384, member: 489"] What has Turner proven in his career? That he can mop up for Ladainian Tomlinson or come in when LT needs to take a break? He's started one game in three years and his highest season carry total is 80 coming this past season. He's on a team where he's not the focus of the offense and probably isn't part of the Defense's game plan to stop the offense. Turner could be Lamont Jordan or Chester Taylor. Would you give up a 1st and 3rd for that? I wouldn't. If Turner was in the Draft and Lynch was in Turner’s spot then I'd gladly take Turner at 16. Asking price of San Diego is to much for the Matt Schaub of running backs. Lynch is a better fit for our offense than Turner. Now with good coaching I believe most backs can fit in the zone blocking scheme, including Michael Turner. However Lynch is also a better receiver out of the backfield and is more of a dual threat back which I think the Packers need because of the lack of playmakers in the passing game right now. I personally believe Lynch has the potential to be a Pro Bowl caliber RB as does Turner. However neither of them are going to be the next Ladainian Tomlinson or Walter Payton in my opinion and while Turner has proven he can be a backup in the NFL, as a starter he is no more proven than Lynch or Adrian Peterson.
