I have watched about half of the Hawks games, so I'm no expert either. But, for the Hawks games I have watched (and to my coworkers who religiously watch the Hawks), Lynch is surprisingly still a beast who can run after contact. Lots of people were expecting a drop off in performance and are surprised at how good Lynch looks given his age, the hold-out, and the fact that he got a bigger contract as a result of the hold-out. They are wondering why Lynch isn't getting the ball more.
