Who will be the Seahawk starting QB in September?

[Tech_God]

More like grab him while I'm jumping.

Fair enough....

I wouldn't be surprised if Malik Willis. Reports are Seattle likes him...

Lot of similarities to Wilson (but a lot of the weaknesses in some of Wilson's game as well). Great mobility, good in playaction/rollout, great deep ball/arm, likes the sideline throws, good hand strength... but takes unnecessary sacks, can miss the easy throws, doesn't like throwing or stepping into the pocket. He also has some accuracy issues and needs to put more touch on the ball. A bit more run and gun than Wilson as well.

Obviously one of the benefits is he'd be 10 years younger and have better athleticism. Wilson has been losing that scramble/elusiveness slowly each year.

It'd also fill the seats some and probably keep Lockett/Metcalf somewhat happy. And I really have to wonder if Lockett is on the trade block. He and Wilson were VERY in sync just mentally so a lot of his production I feel is the two of those guys clicking (not implying Lockett is a bad receiver without Wilson... just sayin, they were very in tune). So if you replace Wilson with a QB that operates like Wilson, maybe Lockett will click better. Who knows?

Heard the accuracy but not the deep ball strength

NFL.com as well as another draft site, I’d look at which one exactly but I’m not at home, and those are just the two I’ve seen today with that complaint.

Weaknesses

• Deep balls have a tendency to come up short.
• Gives safeties time to range over the top from the post.
• Average arm strength for tight-window throws.
• Windup slows overall release quickness.
• Slower operation time led to 26 career batted passes, per PFF.
• Struggles in throwing receivers open.
• Inconsistent accuracy on intermediate throws.
• Rarely gets all the way through his progressions.
• Average elusiveness could bring heavy punishment as a runner.
• Below-average placement and velocity for pro throws.
• Peels back and over the top of the pocket, leading to sacks.

Okay. Thanks dude

Okay. Thanks dude

I prefer Willis myself, but if Ridder’s there I could see Seattle wanting to develop a young WB. Though I’d be happier at 64 than 41

Me. I say use the fall back opition.

Go after a Edge/OL/CB at 9

Bobby Wagner released

Gotta say. That stings more than Russ.

I always loved Bubba

Bobby Wagner released

Wow. Shit.

 

[flyerhawk]

Wow. Shit.

16.5 million in cap savings. I'm not surprised by the move.

It's a bummer but he's just not worth 20 million at this point in his career. If they kept Russ then maybe restructure.

 

[PolarVortex]

I think Schneider and Carroll already know who they want and are reasonably sure they can get him.
They could draft Pickett, or trade up to get Willis. Pete obviously isn't afraid to start a rookie QB.
But maybe they are going with Lock next season and try to get CJ Sproud or Bryce Young in the draft next year. Kinda like they did when they used TJackson for a year to bridge between Hasselbeck and Wilson.

I want to throw something against the wall now.

I'm a fan of guys who Don't get the god damn respect that they fucking deserve. Bo Hovart in Vancouver is a good example

Bobby was one too

I feel we use the draft capitol to build OL, DL,Secondary maybe a RB in the 3rd or 4th, better depth, Address the QB short term with temporary fill in type, draft a QB 2023 when the odds are the Seahawks have a early 1st maybe top 5. I like Huntley as a likely choice, FA, cheap, mobile and some experience starting.

Lock with a good OL , 7" height advantage, and legs that are 8 years younger, might be almost as good as Wilson. Almost...well, maybe not. But I think DK would love to have a QB that can see over the offensive line.

Can't tell you how tired I got of watching Wilson take third-down sacks last year.

I voted Carson Wentz; I'd I had a 1A/1B guess, Jimmy checkdown would be 1B

If their plan is to draft a starting QB, then they are even more full of themselves than I realized. There are no clear cut high ceiling QBs in this draft that could step in and start.

Believing that you have some magic ability to pick great QBs because you did it once is the path to failure.

IMO, I think it is much more likely that they believe that Lock can be starting caliber QB in the NFL. Which is also pretty silly but at least they know that he can actually play in the NFL and won't be an immediate bust.

 

[kcden]

To be clear, I would not choose either of those, but I don't think we'll go into the year starting a QB thst is clearly only backup quality (Lock, Smith, etc.)

If they bring in Carson Wentz, I'll temporarily switch my allegiance to Buffalo until Wentz is gone. He's a one-hit wonder.

 

[dkmightyhammer]

It's not often an NFL team says goodbye to 2 future first ballot HOFers on the same day.


I just read that Bobby and Russ started in Seattle on the same day in 2012, and they are now leaving on the same day in 2022. Dam, sad.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

If the Seahawks trade their 1st rounder for Jimmy G I literally will quit this team.

Pete has gone full senile if he did that … Time to retire
