Retool. Rebuild. Refine. Reload.

Semantics aside, how soon do you think it will take the Seahawks to get back to elite/Championship-caliber?

We can't rule out anything. The Eagles showed this year that strange things can happen, like winning a Super Bowl against the Patriots with Nick Foles at QB. A Pete Carroll-coached defense always has a chance to be good. Russell Wilson is a great QB. Finally having a smarter OC could pay huge dividends for the offense.

There are variables in all this. For instance, are we presuming we keep KJ, Wagner, and Wilson? That will matter a lot.

Definitely variables for days. That's what makes the poll utterly unscientific and fun.

3 years, this year is getting experience and chemistry, next year is the push for the playoffs and learning how to win when the spotlight on, the next year would be the break thru season. This is all given health and no aberrations as far as weird flags that do something that derail things.

I think it matters on how the ET situation is handled. They sign him longterm I think they might be able to make the playoffs this year, and compete for a SB next year. If he is traded for peanuts, or holds out half a season it’s going to set the team back substantially.

5 years. After Carroll retires in 2019, it'll take 3 years for a new coach to put the pieces together.

they're in the thick of things right now, and the media pundits aren't even aware. this is a great seahawks squad! it will be something like 5 or 6 weeks into the season, and the media (espn, s.i., etc.) will wake up and realize seahawks are totally in the mix...

I want to say this year and it could be but Shotty has done nothing in his life as a OC to make me think that the offense will pick up for the losses on defense.

Ahh, now see your header is different to me than the actual poll question. I voted quickly this year without hesitation thinking playoffs and having a shot was "back." My true answer to the poll would be 2 years at least. While I truly believe we make the playoffs this year and are improved, I think it takes a couple years to have a legitimate shot at a Superbowl.

I really like the young talent we have and the energy/buzz going on there. I think the addition of Solari and the change to Schotty make a world of difference.

Go Hawks!!!

Can we wait until we see how this team plays the first eight games? "Instant gratification" is the "word of the day" in America. This isn't a poll about "wanting to get back"......it is about can this team play their way back to the SB?

I wouldn't presume anything beyond Wilson.

If Griffin pops at WILL, then I doubt we extend KJ, and we probably will extend Bobby..........but even that might not happen if he shows signs of decline this year and/or gets hurt.

As far as the question, I think if we have another couple drafts like this one, we should be close again in two years. Still need to restock the defense, especially the line and defensive backfield.

Nope! Were going to the SB with or without you Bro!! :sarcasm_off:

Realistically....it's off season and it's fun to speculate....but ya, nobody knows much till at least pre season to see how much hype shakes out I agree.

Yes, we should shut the forum down until the first eight games are played.

No reason to spend time having interesting and engaging conversations speculating about how long it might take to get back to a SB with the current and future roster.

That's utter nonsense........................ANGUISH, SHUT THIS MOTHER DOWN UNTIL GAME 8!!

Or hoping that the negative nancies would make the exact sputtering responses that they did.

Orrrr....we could at least wait until after the playoffs and completely take the prediction out of our prediction. :2thumbs:

If the offense can learn how to score points before the 3rd quarter, I don't see why this team can't compete in every game. Russell is still Russell, couple that with an actual running game so the defense isn't on the field for 75% of the game, I think they should be okay. Pete will have to be a little less vanilla on defense while the new guys get up to speed but I trust him working with that side of the ball.

Rams went all in this year so it'll be tough to get the NFC West, especially with the growing pains that'll show up early on, but a WC seed isn't unrealistic IMO.
