The people who start these idiotic threads were obviously not fans, or perhaps not even born before the Hawks drafted Wilson. We were never in contention, and the only time we were and made it to the superbowl is when we had a HOF Oline and a decent game managing QB.
We will not be in contention for a LONG TIME if we get rid of Wilson. Even if we got lucky and drafted the next mahommes, Carroll will do his best to handicap him and wont build around him. Carroll is past his prime. He lucked out of trouble in USC and got an opportunity to come to an organization with plenty of draft capitol and spending money. He had the inside scoop on players he had scouted in college (OKUNG,ET,SHERMAN,etc).
One of the first horrific moves he made was signing MATT FLYNN, ya know, the 35 million dollar back up quarterback who got owned by a rookie? Pete has always been a mediocre coach and has been saved over and over again by the miraculous talent that is Russell Wilson. Theres no way our franchise wouldve seen 2 Super Bowls, let alone the playoffs, had we stuck with Flynn and didnt get absurdly lucky with Wilson.
IMO Carroll shouldve been axed after he shit away his second super bowl cause he couldnt swallow his pride and let marshawn do his thing. Now we are seeing time and time again, Pete cannot build a complete team because he doesnt have the inside scoop on college talent he once had and pisses away draft picks. This team needs a fresh new set of eyes and concepts(MCVAY COUGH COUGH), Pete BALL has become too predictable and teams can easily exploit our weakness on either side of the ball.
Pete has to go and maybe Schnieder too(other than Metcalf, how many draft picks in the last 5 years are starting? Ill wait)
There needs to be a reset and that definitely doesnt mean you get rid of the most successful QB in franchise history. We will always be a contender with Russell, we just need some competent front office personnel to surround him with some F#$@ING TALENT!
Rant over, time for a Dab 8)
