I'm far from calling him a bust, but he's probably every bit the project now that he was when they drafted him...and the OL is worse than last year.
The coaches comments to the media about him are about as damning as it gets on this level. He talks about Lynch like he's a 5th round project QB.

So, he entered game 4 vs the Bucs near the end of the 2nd half --- his first action of the year when Trevor was hurt. Fairly pedestrian, but decent stats with a TD and 0 INT ... they won.
Game 5, vs the Falcons in Denver... the Falcons RBs on the ground and through the air tore them apart. Broncos had no answer on the ground and Lynch was again, fairly pedestrian in his second game and first legit start. Lynch was sacked 6 times in that game - chalk it up to inexperience and a poor OL situation.
The next time he played was game 12. Lynch and the entire offense looked putrid on the road, but it was a win.
So, there you have it... his body of work. You paint a picture that he started half the season... that's just not the case.
And, Kubiak's offense, well it wasn't exactly that with the OL issues and poor production from the RBs, thanks to Anderson's injury as well there. They also lost Janovich (rookie FB, I know), but he showed lots of upside in his limited time.
We'll see how things shake out.
