Go head, I'll wait. The problem with your position is you identify ANY weakness on the team and go Vesuvius on Schneider - he is the cause of all the problems on the team, right? Fire everyone! This shit is exhausting. Didn't he bring in Big Cat? How's that secondary looking? How about that LB he traded for? Every single team has a weakness - every team had projects and FA - it's called living under the reality salary cap. There are no "yankees' in the NFL buying up championships.
This utterly preposterous handwringing that Seattle doesn't somehow have Canton-inductees at every position group every season - c'mon man. This is reality. Maybe if Seattle SUCKED year in and year out they could load up on top end talent in the draft, but instead you get a team challenging for a playoff position up to the bitter end. And you know what? I know this will be a shocker - but sometimes draft picks don't pan out - and an even bigger shocker - it happens to all 32 teams - every single year, every single draft.
Choose one:
1. 12 years of above an average team with a potential playoff birth where 'anything can happen"
2. 5 years of dumpster fire 'hoping' all top draft picks pan out.
This is where you pick "2" and I point out that if that was the case the meltdowns on here every single Sunday during the 5 years of misery would be INTOLERABLE - and hilariously predictable. NO matter what they do, they 'shoulda done something else." And yes, that is absolutely true sometimes - you roll the dice, you take your chances. Period. Olines across the league generally suck because no one gets trained properly in college - exact same problem with the QB position - all superior athletes, all with declining skills.
Seattle is one of the few teams that has been competitive for a dozen years straight - yeah we all want a title but that shit is fleeting. Seattle is one of the few teams whose games matter in December. None do in NY, cincinnati, Jacksonville, Carolina, and the list goes on.
Seattle has a defense that is trending up - big time - in particular because of the moves JS has made. Who has a better dline?
I am SO tired of this fucking scapegoating Schneider for everything while ignoring the fact there have probably been far more WINS because of him than losses. We all want better, but there needs to be a minimum of expectation management.

I know there aren’t many projections yet, but where is Cam Ward supposed to go? I’m not sure he’s not better than Caleb Williams. I mean, had he played at USC when Williams did, how would he have looked? Seems very one was real high on him until Miami hit a bit of a speed bump?
All I hear is that this is a down year for QB, so that is scary. But there are some guys that can be better than Geno in the tight system, right? Sure, not next year…but does it matter if we go 7 and 10 instead of 9 and 8?
Hey, trade up and grab Shedeur SandersWard, 22, is a contender for the No. 1 overall pick and is expected to be one of the first two quarterbacks off the board in April's draft along with Colorado's Shedeur Sanders.
Opinions on which quarterback should be ranked above the other vary, but almost all big boards have Ward and Sanders as the top options at the position. SN's Vinnie Iyer ranks Ward as the No. 2 QB and No. 9 overall player on his big board, though enough teams need a quarterback that it's tough to imagine Ward falling past the first handful of picks

Re: Arizona vs. Lambs Bad Mojo Hate LA Game Thread
You litteraly admitted you weren't going to be bothered to take a look at how many other players skipped their meaningless Bowl games. The fact that you constantly type one or two sentences, ADDING NOTHING to the topic or defending your point is actually hilarious.
A simple google search finds out a lot on this topic. Michigan had several skip this year. Guys that won a National Championship last year telling their fan base to fuck off I guess?
Then there is this, the very first one, the one I pointed out a few posts back.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... -nfl-draftWhen Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette decided to skip their bowl games last December, nobody really knew how it would impact their NFL draft status, or that of future players considering the same choice.
We found out very quickly Thursday night -- with a rubber stamp of approval from the NFL. All those who thought perhaps league executives would frown upon players abandoning their teams to get a jump on their NFL careers got a resounding answer.
Fournette and McCaffrey went early in the first round, anyway. And that could have a far-ranging set of consequences that go beyond a few players. It's a reality some coaches across the country confronted Friday as they weighed the potential fallout.
Point out were I have said you can't have an opinion. I'd just love it if for once you would add anything that supported it. I get it, you don't want the guy because he sat out a half. You are entitled to your opinion, and I never called you an idiot, or any name at all. Simply pointed out that that type of opinion would not only limit our options, but it is far from an opinion shared by NFL decision makers.
You come back with one sentence responses that attack me, not my point. It's become your MO when it comes to what ever I type. So, sorry I added more to this topic. It won't happen again when it pertains to you.

I read that Geno has $6 million in incentives on the line for the last game against the Rams.
Personally, I'm going to be rooting for him to get his money. And then the Seahawks ignore all phone calls from his agent.

Heck, if Drew Lock can go for 300+ and 4 TDs after a putrid game then why can't Slingin' Sammy?

There are 6 million reasons why they wouldn't, although I'm sure they will because they're not going to do him like that and lose the locker room. No way will they pull a Comiskey on Geno.trharder wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2024 1:32 amI bet they do play Geno.
