Yes teams do do this all the time and often it leads to huge amount of dead money and/or cap hits down the road. iI ends up being a smaller percentage of the cap because the cap rose but it is still wasted money. A bridge QB just isn't worth the money some are throwing around.
Maybe we should try only signing players to 1 year contracts so there is never a danger of any "wasted" money down the road. I can't believe there aren't any teams doing this!
our defense was historically bad against the run, if they hadnt been we are looking at 12 wins this past year. how different does this conversation look if geno led us to 12 wins?
Do you feel the Seahawks were contenders in 2022 or pretenders? Do you want a repeat of 2022? Do you think Geno can lead the Seahawks to a SB?
We weren't contenders mostly because our defense was historically bad.
And we still have good reason to be skeptical. Given his years in the league think it's fair to say it was a fluke season for Geno and he'll be 33 in Oct. Geno didn't play well against good teams, just the downtrodden teams. This draft offers a opportunity to land a potential franchise QB without moving up in the draft, something that will not be available after this draft and Geno coming off a fluke season will be playing in 2023 at the age of 33 it would be irresponsible not to address the QB situation this draft unless this years crop of QBs are as bad as the 2022 crop and I don't feel that's the case.
We were 2-4 against playoff teams, coincidentally the two games we won our run D was very effective.
These aren't the only 2 choices. The Hawks looked like the surprise of the league for half the season, then faded a bit down the stretch mostly due to poor defense. They have enough young talent to believe they will compete for a playoff spot again next year. The 2022 draft class may end up being top 3 in franchise history.
No team except the SB winner wants a repeat of the previous season. Pointless question.
Yes. If Rex Grossman and Trent Dilfer can, so can Geno Smith. Will he? Well, that depends on a lot of non-Geno factors, most importantly what the team does to improve the defense. But only 2 teams play in the SB each year, so it's unlikely that any given QB will lead their team to it. Aaron Rodgers has been to 1 in his entire career, and it was 12 years ago.
Yep. Unless we do something to get a lot better on defense, commotion at the QB position is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
OK then signing a difference maker for the front seven should come ahead of resigning Geno. Be cheaper and more bang for the buck, as QB are vastly over paid.
Why not sign Payne to address the run defense, than draft a highly regarded QB in the draft with pick 5? Cheaper and more bang for your buck. Then you still got a first , 2 seconds, then the other picks to fill holes.
