Exactly what I argued in countless threads on the Seattle boards. They made a decision on what was special about that team, and what gave them the best chance of continuing their success. In the short term that was the D.
In the long term, with Wilson, the answer was going to be different.
What Seattle is doing now is the transition from one era to another.
The only real difference in our take on it, is how 'rocky' that transition is going to be.
I'm choosing to be optimistic. For some reason, you have a huge need to excoriate anyone similarly optimistic.
I've been arguing the same points so I understand where you're coming from.
