That was a sign I saw at TC today via the live feed on .com. I like it a lot.
As fans, no, as diehards, it's in our blood to want our team to be great NOW. The past five years have spoiled us. Achieving the highest pinnacle in the game, widely considered ELITE for most of that time. Seeing the Seahawks listed #1 in most major Power Rankings for so long almost became mundane.
Now here we are in a whole new world filled with new faces. Outside of a handful of stars, this team is basically unknown to us all. I attended my brother-in-law's wedding yesterday and I was asked by several people;
"So what do you think about the Seahawks this year?"
I was nothing but pure honesty.
"I have no clue."
Because that is the truth. None of us do. I have ideas...I have inclinations...Feelings...But none of those things add up to squat until we can see the product on the field, week in and week out.
What I can say with any semblance of certainty however is that I DO trust the process. I have NO doubt (honestly, none) that Pete Carroll and John Schneider are capable of rebooting this team and find success again.
The hard part is the waiting game. The blood, sweat and tears in TC where new heroes can be found. Somewhere out there in the not-too-distant future, I promise you there will be jerseys for sale with new names on the back that will mark the beginnings of a new era filled with promise. Some of tomorrow's rock stars are sweating on the practice field of VMAC today.
I imagine there will be heartache ahead. Games lost that we will insist marks the beginning of the end. But I ask you, I plead with you to trust the process.
We WILL be back to the mountain top. Our Lombardi will have a mate within 10 years.
Book it.
