Schneider needs to be fired
What big free agents have we ever signed under schneider? Honestly cant think of a single one and im too lazy to look it up right now.
Just their own for the most part, but those matter. Tanking, firing everyone, and expecting better results is not realistic IMO. I'm not a big fan of JS but would give him until the end of 2025 to get things on track. It was his decision to resign Geno, pass on investing on the QB of the future in order to round out the roster (many here agreed on that path including you). So let him reap what he sowed, give him next season and if he fails then hire a GM to draft the next franchise QB and repair the OL. Personally feel JS avoids making big moves, preferring to trade down to moving up because it's less likely to get him fired and he doesn't truly trust his own evaluations on rookie QBs and would rather draft one late then early because that's safer for job security, nobody gets unset if you miss on a QB you drafted in the 5th or even the 3rd but if you miss on one in the 1st watch out.
Valid point he had some bad games in DC and this is our nightmare going into next season playing QB roulette on who to bring in.
Not a fan of Milroe but thankfully he should be off the board before our pick. Gabriel I believe could be the best QB in this draft but he's getting pushed down the draft because of the likes of Milroe and such. He's a much better version of Bo Nix.
That’s true with bad seasons, people do lose jobs, just part of the business .. I do hope they move on from Geno though, we know what he brings, ok play at times, can keep us around .500 ball, has good moments, then craps the bed .. Even if we start a younger inexperienced QB I’m totally cool with it next season..
They should of addressed the QB position with one of the earlier drafts that had good prospects at the position, but they didn't. 2025 draft isn't loaded with good QBs and a bunch of teams that need QBs draft at or near the top of the draft. 2026 hopefully has a better crop of QBs and fewer teams in need of one drafting ahead of the Seahawks. Seahawks don't even have a full slate of picks either. Think trying to improve the OL in 2025 is a better way to proceed, then go all in for a QB in 2026 (if necessary to land the player you want). For one thing it would give the rookie a better chance to succeed and a better pool to choose from at QB. Seahawks just aren't going to have a good QB in 2025, that's the choice made when they passed on filling the position to fill holes on the roster. Fact is JS over estimated the roster and thought the Seahawks were close, but they weren't that close obviously. The roster always keeps churning in the NFL, contracts run out and resigning them gets costly, players get injured, players decline. However land a franchise QB, you keep him on the roster for a decade and build around him best you can. Yeah you can win without a franchise QB but the odds go against you to succeed and yeah the QB you draft could be a bust, but then you keep trying until you land one.
Last year would have been the only year to move up and draft a QB. The year Stroud was drafted Pete was never going to move up since he was committed to Geno. Next draft if the QB I hope falls I hope they jump on that.They should of addressed the QB position with one of the earlier drafts that had good prospects at the position, but they didn't. 2025 draft isn't loaded with good QBs and a bunch of teams that need QBs draft at or near the top of the draft. 2026 hopefully has a better crop of QBs and fewer teams in need of one drafting ahead of the Seahawks.

Seahawks tried the "make do" at QB and build a great roster to carry him method. Now the talk is Lockett needs to be cut, trade Metcalf , trade Walker, oh yeah cut Geno plus some others. What brilliant plan JS had, go with Geno in order to build a great roster.
I don't feel the Seahawks should try to turn water into wine drafting a sub par QB at pick 20 or where ever the Seahawks end up drafting.
They seemed to be wooing Lock to resign, mentioning him more then Geno. When Lock signed else where THEN they started backing Geno again. Trading for Howell , they were clear about Geno being the starter ( while with Lock they left it in the air). Don't know if JS inquired about moving up, didn't hear a word hinting he had that in mind. Moving down has always been more JS style in the first round and had no reason (other then my own wishful thinking) to think he considered making a move for a QB, had Geno under contract, traded draft capitol for a back up, so it seemed JS felt that position was taken care of for 2024 season.
of course, but macdonald isnt in charge of the roster.
why would they suddenly spend money on OL when their MO has been signing washed up guys for cheap and trading away good ones? its been an ongoing problem going on 15 years and the strategy has not changed.
thats what they should do, but i will be mildly surprised if that happens.
i dont think they will tear it down, clearly thats not what i predicted in my post. i think thats what they SHOULD do with the front office. i really dont think schneider sees what we see, i think he feels like they are in a good place and the OL is perfectly fine the way it is.
absolutely they have to if they want to succeed. that means backing up the brinks truck for trey smith and drafting OL in round 1 or 2. do you really think thats what schneider will do though?
