Beastmode as crazy as he is... is beasting...

I have him top 10 all time.

Behind Sanders, Payton, Brown, Smith, Dickerson

Lynch isn't close to top 10 all time RB.

In addition to the guys you mentioned, at least the following should clearly rank higher than Lynch (not in order):

OJ, Peterson, Faulk, Dorsett, Tomlinson, Allen, Campbell, Williams, Bettis, Martin, Thurman Thomas, Dillon

Lynch isn't top ten, but if he wins another Super Bowl this year, and gets to the 11,000 yard mark, he'll certainly have HOF credentials, and probably be a considered at least a top 20 RB of all time.

I think I'd add Gale Sayers to the list.

Could definitely see him in the 15-20 range by the time he retires. Depends on longevity and how productive he is in his 30s.

I was just about to add Sayers. Lynch is fairly similar to him in his running style.
