Maybe, but Julius Jones is now gone, so it will be Lynch and Forsett as a 1-2 punch, and I prefer a more explosive guy like Lynch than Jones. Good trade IMO for just a 4th rounder.
Lynch and Forsett are best of friends off the field too.
Also, a better run game gives one less excuse to the inept Hasslebeck. Carroll's surrounded him with a fair bit of proper (although not star) NFL talent, come up with new offensive twists and opened the doors a bit for the offense to be a bit more creative and explosive.
Same old looking Hasslebeck out there, looking clueless and shell shocked 80% of the time, making bad decisions 80% of the time too, not able to reflect the philosphical change that every other part of the team and organization has taken on.
So overall a decent addition....the Seahawks just have to be 1 game better than the Rams and assume that the Cardinals continue to "are who they thought they are", and this division and playoffs, are well within sight the next 12 games.
