Adams out for the season

[Greenhell]

Same shoulder. He'll never be the same. Worst trade in franchise history. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nf...-torn-labrum-to-undergo-season-ending-surgery

 

[Elemas]

Well….it never stops.

 

[pittpnthrs]

Shocking I tell you.

 

[King Dog]

Ryan Neal is a better player anyway.

 

[Fuddhawk]

The blunders continue...........

 

[ZagHawk]

It is almost laughable how bad this trade turned out for the Seahawks .

 

[xray]

At least the Hawks got a hell of a deal getting him . ukeface:

Look many of the dip sticks in one thread.

 

[Shaz]

Always good to know that the overpaid and overpriced Safety who can't cover also can't stay healthy

Good job Pete, please get the **** outta Seattle immediately.

Boz part II

There have been worse trades in the history of the team i.e.: guys who never played a down, guys who never showed up as expected. Adams is a very good player and until this season was an annual Pro Bowl player just perhaps not truly worth 2 firsts and a 3rd round pick, plus a good player, even if they were late picks for the first draft. Let's not let exaggeration displace rational thinking.

Perhaps however, Adams will come back stronger next season. Perhaps the team may give the DBs a better pass rush next season. Perhaps the team may acquire a new DC for next. Perhaps another player will become the whipping boy for the Nellies around this place. Regardless, they can always complain about Pete.

I think it is a smart move to sit him for the last 7 games and have him have the surgery now. It been a bummer of a season for most players on the team this year.

 

[TwistedHusky]

He is out for the season, not a career.

This season is pretty much over so I am not sure why it matters much.

If he can get his operation and come back healthy? Great.

If not, then it is a problem.

Right now we have no idea which of the above is true, so I guess it is a cause for concern but not a reason to be that upset.

 

[Jville]

Ryan Neal is a better player anyway.

A question going into the weekend is who replaces Neal as the dime back?

 

[flv]

I wish him well. He's a good player and it makes sense to deal with his injury issues as soon as possible. No point worsening an injury in a lost season. His contract is fine for a top 10 S. He has a skill set that is difficult to scheme around and the Seahawks have done a poor job of that. They also gave up too much to acquire him.

 

[hawker84]

Like it matters at this point.

Good job Pete, please get the f*** outta Seattle immediately.

Yup.....he's a BUM !

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Like it matters at this point.

Long term it matters, dude still has four years left on his contract with over 35M of dead cap.

So we have 2-3 more years of looking forward to Adams being an injury riddled albatross around this defense's neck and soaking up 25% of it's cap.

The Pollyannas round here are laughable. No, no, it can still work!

"On Wednesday Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was on SiriusXM radio with host Pat Kirwan. And during the interview, he said the Adams deal has been “a terrific trade for us.”

Only two things can explain this comment. The first is that Carroll was being polite. The second is that he was having a senior moment — and thought he was still coaching the Jets."

Perfect example of why the Pres conferences and interviews are exercises in blowing up balloons and not going to give a lot of Truth, seeing and reading the tea leaves of the team and player body language and reactions is a better gauge. Well unless you get Adams, Sherman and Bennett, Angry Doug types on the Microphone.

What, you think he's going to say "yeah we messed up, it's the worst trade in John and my tenure."

Pete being the eternal optimist in a press conference is not the truth, it's spin. Adams was rated lower than the Jets backup safety for coverage before he got hurt. Add in no sacks, never wrapping up tackles and making business decisions on the goallines not hitting RB's and WR's because he was mitigating the hits his shoulders were taking? Bust.

And that's just his on field play, add in salary, cap hit and draft picks lost?

Damn man, this trade was an unmitigated disaster.
