Could somebody put together a wikitable for Marshawn's statistics like the article on Adrian Peterson does? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cycrutchfield (talk • contribs)
I attempted to edit the article to remove the reference to Lynch being a "National Football League running back for the Buffalo Bills." He is not. While he was drafted, he has not been signed to a contract, so he is neither an NFL running back nor a member of the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, the reference has re-appeared.

Was Lynch born in OaklandorAlameda? --Louis Guel 19:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC) his momma and daddy are alive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.193.71.27 (talk) 02:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
How did the second part of this edit go unnoticed for over three months?android79 00:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The section talking about the recent hit and run case that Marshawn Lynch is involved in contains the same caliber of information all relating to personal issues that Marshawn Lynch has been involved in. It is superfluous and there is no need for it to have its own section. Arzakon (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
i am sure this is of use:
To anyone working on this article. Kingturtle (talk) 21:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to what Kingturtle linked: Lynch has been charged and punishments have been publicly released. However, the NFL has yet to make any moves due to their player personal conduct policy. Arzakon (talk) 22:15, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
C'mon, he didn't coin that phrase. It's from that popular '90s Transformers TV series, Beast Wars. I think the word "coined" should be taken out and the sentence reworded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.31.114.93 (talk) 12:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why does "Rock Solid" redirect here? There's no mention of it in the article. I was looking for information on the masonry television show. 68.63.165.28 (Talk: [[1]]) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is fan bias in the majority of this article that needs to be addressed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.142.56 (talk) 04:56, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Any reason why the font color for the titles of the seasons with the Seahawks are blue and for the Bills they're black?
The paragraph under Personal Life about his relations with the media seems like it should be moved to be part of his playing record, since it's directly related to his job. But it spans two seasons (at this point). Should it be moved and divided between 2013 and 2014? Bro rick (talk) 16:21, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This article is terrible. It is a bunch of ramblings with facts and dates. I would hardly call it prose. Let us refocus on what this article is about. First off, it's a biography. It should include section biographic sections such as 'early life' and 'personal life'. He is not an object, he is a human being, so these facts do matter. Second, as done, he is a pro football player so it should have his high school, college and NFL career, which are here. His infractions with the law are most definitely pertinent, so they fall under personal life and having its own section would not be incorrect. His infractions with the NFL are also pertinent, but fall under his professional career. Often you'll see a heading 'controversies' and that is perfectly acceptable to be added and used. His refusal to speak to the press and so forth would belong there, not under personal life. Remember, there is a personal life and a professional life. Do not confuse the two. His life is full of controversies, but I pass no judgment on that. In fact, I'm a Seahawks fan (see my Twitter) it's just that facts are facts. Let us try to remain as unbiased as possible and let the readers decide for themselves. Let us also keep it organized and readable. Right now it is neither.

There is way too much vandalism happening to this page right now. Even if most of it is caught by the bots, it is a sign that this page should not be open to edits. The page should be locked until at least after the Super Bowl (Feb 1 2015), when the attention on Marshawn Lynch will likely fade. Zetrock (talk) 07:27, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Marshawn 's birth name and legal name is Marshawn Terell Sapp-Lynch. Please add this. Source is this USA TODAY article http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/seahawks/2015/01/29/marshawn-lynch-maurice-sapp-father-oakland-family/22529879 . 209.183.239.131 (talk) 17:50, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Source #12 is incorrectly cited with a 'date published' of '12/31/1969' which is INCORRECT. If you follow the link to the YouTube page of the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqMsT_2teus) you will notice an upload/publish date of 'Oct 21, 2006'. Please review and change!

Not done: I have instead removed all YouTube links used as reference from the article. Because YouTube is not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 03:49, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your edit is incorrect, please undo your edit. Also please note that Wikipedia allows for YouTube links 'if their authenticity can be confirmed, or as a secondary source if they can be trace to a reliable publisher' and if you look closer to the video you will notice that the publisher of the actual production is 'FSN HD' or 'Fox Sports Network' (right upper corner). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billyd992 (talk • contribs) 21:39, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marshawn Lynch has retired after nine seasons

Marshawn just retired, so it should say "Former NFL Running Back" and should be noted in his Career
