Who will be the Seahawk starting QB in September?

[jerseyhawksfan79]

We have to be top 2 to get Stroud or Young... and with what they have on the roster at the moment assuming they sign Brown/Penny, their team is not bad enough to do it. And Carroll has already said he does not want to blow it up and tank for those two QBs.... he wants the team to be competitive. Now I don't think anyone is worth taking at #9 and I'd rather have Cross or an EDGE, but I like the idea of using one of the two second round picks on a QB.

And sorry, I'd rather have that than go 0-17 and tank for a QB... and then bring one into a team that sucks ass. Trevor Lawrence is getting a firsthand look at what that's like.

Starting Lock isn't "tanking" but he sucks to the point of being top 5 in the 2023 draft. I'll take a one year throw away for a better QB prospect in 2023. Use these picks to build up the roster and taking Cross or an edge at 9 would be excellent.

I agree 100% with this

Eh the draft is such a crap shoot at this point, I'd rather snag a QB with one of our 2nds and see if we get anything out of it. If Corral or Ridder are the guy, then great. We can compete hard in 2023 and go all in 2024.

We know Lock sucks. He just does. He couldn't do fuck all with a similar roster in Denver (yes I get Jeudy was injured but he had good runningbacks and a better OL).

Can't expect him to amount to anything when all he did in Denver was sit behind other QB's like Bridgewater. Now that he has the opportunity to see some actual playing time in Seattle who knows maybe he's actually good under center.

I know hes not popular, and it would depend on cost for you. But baker actually seems like a good fit for seAttle.

We disagree with that strongly. Steelers still could use a up grade at QB maybe he's a good fit for them.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

I don't think they will... Seattle had no interest in Watson (that was all media clickbait), the Mayfraud 'rumors' have all been just that, and Carroll/Schneider were already heavily interviewing QBs in the combine.

I'm good with that.

I have said id take him.

I have said id take him.

Problem solved then.

I think they try to extend him this off season ( they have lots of cap space 2023) and if they can't do that he gets traded this season or at least they try to trade him this season.

he is going to want and or get almost $30m per, I love having him on the team but that is too much.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Yes he's going to want a ton, but besides the money would he resign with the Seahawks considering the QB situation? Can't just let him walk and settle for a comp pick. The Seahawks have some leverage to negotiate a reasonable contract given he has a year left on the present contract and they can always franchise him. So worth trying to extend him for a "reasonable" amount that still will be a lot, salaries are only going up so adjustments for what is "too much" always need to be made. It also won't hurt to explore what they could get for him in a trade, he's a very marketable trade chip.

At the very least you franchise tag and trade him.

There's really nobody else on the roster at the moment that you'd need to franchise tag and someone will trade for him. Going to be a big QB draft next year and someone will want to pair him with their new guy (perhaps Seattle will). Seattle's also going to have basically free cap in 2024 so if they do find a QB they can always resign DK and front load the F out of his contract.

In no way do you pay him $30 million a year. Not worth it at all in my opinion.

You're right the draft is a crap shoot but I rather load up the roster first, get them a year under their belt, be bad and have a chance at better QB prospects in 2023.

I need a throw away year for a chance at a better QB prospect. Baker sucks but he's ok enough to get you 6 to 7 wins which gives us zero chance of getting into the top 3 or top 5 of the 2023 draft. That happens then Seattle has to throw away a ton of picks to move up to get one of those guys and that's something I don't want with the amount of holes needing to be filled.

So what you're saying is you'd rather roll with Drew Lock as the starter. Is that right?

I think they've already loaded up the roster. The defense is surprisingly looking pretty good.. if they can get Brown the OL is not bad. The WR/TE group is already fine to begin with. If they can resign Penny or just draft someone in the 3rd or later the RB position is fine.

But the suggested approach by this Seahawks forum is we need to tank the season to draft a QB who is a decent prospect on paper but has proven nothing... when we have a bunch of draft picks over the next 2 years anyway? Draft a QB now (not saying to use the #9 overall, but an early 2nd FINE) and if that fails, draft your new QB anyway.

This notion, "Just lose 17 games" bullshit has gotta go. It's rarely if ever worked in the past. Manning might be one exception, and Luck came into a shitty ass team and was retired form the league shortly after. Yah, real PRIZE there. Suck for Luck? Yah, that worked out.

You guys wanting to roll with Drew Lock who IS NOT GOOD and was on a team with a decent OL, run game, and okay receivers... you guys are fuckin' insane. All to: "OH JUST TANK THE SEASON SO WE CAN DRAFT STROUD/YOUNG!" ......... seriously!? I just... *exits room quietly*

There's an easy way to do this. Forfeit every game or march me out there as QB. I'll happily lose 17 games for $300K.

I'm not sure about anybody else but I can safely say that I do not want us to tank just to get the #1 overall pick in 2023. We made a lot of smart moves in FA. We'll be competitive this coming season. While we may not make the playoffs we'll be in every game to say the least.

Well there's plenty of your fellow Seahawks posters on this forum that are happy to tank and 'address QB in 2023' (which requires tanking, because at this point they're all going top 5) on this forum....

Not calling you out or anything, but I think it's a fuckin' ridiculous idea to just blow up the team to go all in on one fuckin' draft pick 1 YEAR from now (where anything can happen) when you can try and win now or build a somewhat stable team and set it up properly for 2023.

For some of you Seahawks posters, you guys realize how hard it is to get the #1 overall pick, right? You literally have to make your team absolute shit. You will recruit zero free agents without overpaying, your coaching staff gets blown up, and then you bank everything on one player who if it doesn't pan out, you're talking about selling the team because ownership is inept. So you guys saying, "Oh just tank this season and blow it up for Stroud/Young" is beyond fuckin' ridiculous.

Seattle still has pieces here. It can still be a competitive team. ALL of the moves so far in free agency indicate that.

I've been saying that since he was traded over
