    Do we have a playoff roster?

    You're confusing the term "progress" with "satisfactory." Going 9-8/one-and-done might cause some players, fans, coaches, et al a sense of satisfaction with the team's efforts. Although it does happen from time to time, no one expects Rome to be built in a day. But the results can't be...

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    I wouldn't call Russ's 10 year stretch of QB play "HOF" worthy. He is, or was until the past couple of years, borderline HOF at best. One of the unwritten prerequisites for a QB in today's NFL to get a gold jacket is winning a SB MVP or league MVP, and Russell hasn't so much as gotten a single...

    Do we have a playoff roster?

    I don't think that merely making the playoffs is necessarily 'progress.' We made the playoffs with a 9-8 record in 2022, barely missed them with the same record in 2023. If we happen to qualify with a 9-8 record and are one-and-done, I'm not going to pronounce the season as 'progress' based on...

    2024 schedule release?

    It's odd that it's on a Wednesday. MLB has 15 games on Wednesday the 15th, every team in the league, and just 6 games on the following Thursday. I always thought that they tried to maximize the sports nut and announce the schedule on a slow sports day.

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    I understand and agree. The part of the article I was disagreeing with, and using the Wonderlic as evidence that it was false, was the part that said that Russell couldn't call his own plays, that they had to dumb it down, had to make him wear a wrist band, et al. That doesn't have anything to...

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    Back before our SB appearance in 2014, our local newspaper here ran an article on Russell Wilson. One summer, he played baseball here in the Tri Cities for our Class A minor league team and stayed with a host family along with a couple other teammates. The lady said that the other guys would...

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    Good post, and I agree completely. All I am saying is that Russ's very good Wonderlic score is evidence that the article in the OP is false. I would find it surprising that he would be as stupid as what is being portrayed given what we know about his intelligence and work ethic. Off topic...

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    It's timed. You have 12 minutes to answer 50 questions. As I said earlier, that's one of the tricks to taking it. Don't waste time on complicated math questions. Move on and answer the gimmes, of which there are a number of them scattered throughout the test, then return to the unanswered...

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    The league seems to think that it has some value or else they wouldn't have been using it for some 40 years. It isn't always a good indicator of success as there have been some QB's who scored very low but ended up in the HOF (Terry Bradshaw comes to mind), but it does a fair job of assessing...

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    I completely agree that Russell is delusional. His comments and statements are verifiable proof of that. But that's not the issue. The issue here is his ability to process information. The man isn't as smart as Ryan Fitzpatrick, Eli Manning, Drew Bledsoe, et al. But he's not as stupid as...

    DK rumor's

    You're preaching to the choir. The other thing that I'll add here is that wide receivers are overrated as a position. There are a lot of very, very good wide receivers, and tons of very good receivers. It's a position that a lot of players can master. If someone like Cooper Kupp, who ran...

    DK rumor's

    The problem with waiting until next year is the risk involved. What are the chances of Metcalf's value improving vs. it declining, keeping in mind the risk of injury? Personally, I don't see Metcalf's play this season improving to the point that it increases his trade value. I don't see it...

    Do we have a playoff roster?

    There's no doubt in my mind that this team has playoff talent, but when 14 out of the 32 teams qualify, it's not that big of an accomplishment and shouldn't be used as a standard. All it means is that you're a .500ish team. The conversation should be about being a legitimate SB competitor...

    Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

    Russell's Wonderlic score was a 28. The average score for NFL players is 20, and for QB's it's 24. That doesn't always equate to football smarts, but the league used it for a reason, so it obviously has some merit. When you couple that fact with what we've known about Russell, that he has a...
