He came back the next year but was never the same back in terms of the lateral quickness and explosiveness. Still very good but not the same and a fairly short career as a productive back.
As an impact player for Seattle its Lynch by a mile. One could argue his impact on the franchise if not his overall stats would rival SA's.

Beast is easily my favorite to watch on any given day, his running style is by far the most viscerally satisfying since Earl Campbell and Larry Csonka.
Love Warner and what he meant to the team at the time, but i'm afraid he's #3 in my book.

In 2005 he had one of the great rushing seasons ever. That's a fact. Inarguable FACT.

I'm not so sure that PC would have been unable to work with SA.The whole team SA played on in the Holmgren era was a soft finesse team. The beef is legit about running soft, tripping over the 50 or running out of bounds.Two of the greatest collapses in team history Ravens in 2003 and Rams at home in 2004 were very much about SA taking dives in short yardage situations rather than take on a Mike LB, Ray Lewis in Baltimore BTW.He wasn't a good pass blocker and was a mediocre reciever.
But that was all between the 20's Savvy. Alexander scored 29 TD's in 2005. The man had a knack in the red zone. And sure he had a great line like most HOF backs did as well but he was one of the more patient runners Ive ever seen, setting up his blocks perfectly. He was smooth in his prime and faster than he looked as well.
Yeah SA had some blemishes. Still he was a great Hawk in his own right.His numbers speak for themselves.
