The Seahawks have given up

[flyerhawk]

71 year old coach rebuilding with no QB.

This is absolutely atrocious.

 

[MrS]

is this the cry thread?

And this is why people constantly give you shit. Because you are just a dick.

Bill Belichick will be 70 next month. He lost The GOAT who went on to win a Superbowl. Last season he finished 2nd in the AFC East and actually got to the playoffs.

Don't be so fast to give up on old men.

Shit, I forgot. I'm gonna be 75 tomorrow.

 

[Cave_Johnson]

Given up? I don't see it that way.

I said before last season started they should trade Wilson because they aren't going to win anything as long as he's still here.

The Hawks board is a little slow right now, so here's a hot take for you.......maybe

Unless they manage to hit draft classes like they did in 2010-2012 in the next three drafts, the Seahawks will never win another Super Bowl or even an NFC championship with Russell Wilson as QB. Not because Wilson isn't the best QB to ever suit up for the Hawks (and most definitely a top 5 QB...

If Wilson stays here he'll just end up another Aaron Rodgers. Great QB with a bad team around him.

Call me crazy but I'm waaaaay more excited about the Seahawks now. For the past three years I've gone into the season knowing there was no chance at a Super Bowl because the roster just wasn't that good. At least maybe now they get some new talent and build something. Or maybe they won't. We'll see but this is better than sitting around wasting Wilson's talent on constant 10 win seasons with first round playoff exists for the next 5 years.

Well the silver lining is they have the chance to build the roster up to a much higher level, then ...maybe hit on a QB in 2023 or 2024.

What about Ridder in the 2nd?

Talented as fuck. Not that far off from wilson's game.

I will amend this a bit as I posted it before I saw the actual haul.

And that haul sucked. Should have gotten waaaaay more for Russ.

But they probably could have if they had traded him at the start of last season.

b-but you assured us all that Russ made it VERY Clear he wasnt being traded
all the while, behind your back he was demanding a trade and lo and behold, he got it
Russ cares about himself, he doesnt give a fuck about the fans or the city

yeah, I second this

We got a good haul for an aging QB. I'm happy for all parties. Hope we crush Denver next year.

I didn't think that Jody Allen would pick a 71 year old head coach over a Hall of Fame QB. I was wrong.

 

[flyerhawk]

Might as well have a firesale. We are going to stink next year. Or even worse we will be .500.

Loyalty in sports these days is rare.
On both sides.

correct, but people on this board truly thought he was all "rah rah seattle lets win three superbowls I dont want to leave"

I think that the Rodgers contract of 4 years, $200 million with $153 million guaranteed forced the Seahawks' hand. They realized that it was going to cost between $45-50 million a year to extend him so they pulled the trigger instead.

The $26 million in dead cap money hurts though. Kicks the rebuild in the nuts right away.

Plus if PC/JS draft more Currys and McDowells than decent players, then we are wholly screwed. Of course we are probably kinda screwed if Drew Lock is our starting QB anyways.

2022 season is lost but will give us better draft position next season. Maybe be bad enough for a top 3 pick and have a shot at a coveted rookie QB.

Just a reminder of the top 6 QBs drafted in the past 8 years. I'll skip last year as it is too early

Joe Burrow
Tua Taigavoloa
Kyler Murray
Daniel Jones
Baker Mayfield
Sam Darnold
Mitch Trubisky
Jared Goff
Carson Wentz
Jameis Winston
Marcus Mariota
Blake Bortles

If you expand it out to top 10 and that does include Mahomes and Josh Allen but also Josh Rosen

No doubt that it is hard to hit on a QB, but got to try right? I was a bit worried about RW regressing now that he lost his quickness and wasn't a proven pocket passer despite a good arm. I want to try to let things play out and see what happens before becoming depressed.

Well we have to try now because we have no choice.
