Why did the Seahawks and Russell Wilson finally split. Hint, it’s the drafts.

This is almost unreadable with how cringily angry the guys writing is. His section about 2017 calling the mild trade-downs "mind-boggling" is almost theatrically bad.
Of course, this is the forum MO don't like what they say come up with excuses to ignore it. FYI a lot of fans in other forums and in calls on sports radio were done with Ifedi after the 1 season. Some on this forum too."After one year of abysmal play by Germain Ifedi, the entire fan base was ready to move Ifedi inside at right guard and try a new option at right tackle."
Germain Ifedi wasn't moved inside. He started his career at right guard, and was moved outside to right tackle afterwards.
This guy has absolutely no clue what he's talking about. I doubt he even watches the team with how terrible this piece is.
The same point that everyone else has made for years? It's usually made more intelligently than this drivel.LOl of course it is, heaven forbid he has a point.
That's not what I'm saying or doing. Try reading my posts before you respond.Of course, this is the forum MO don't like what they say come up with excuses to ignore it. FYI a lot of fans in other forums and in calls on sports radio were done with Ifedi after the 1 season. Some on this forum too.
What a petulant reply to copy and paste on two separate threads lolHelp u out, if I don't reply its because I have u on ignore.
Yeah I know horribleYou think their drafts are bad, look at their Free Agent signings since 2014. Yeesh.
That is the funny part.
Supposedly the reason we were having problems on offense was because 'Wilson couldn't or wouldn't do X'. But weirdly HC is only one of Carrol's jobs that he is failing at (blame or no blame). He is also abysmally failing as a GM. Making some of the worst decisions and worst trades in the literal history of the franchise.
Go back through the history of this franchise, you would be hard-pressed to find a worse trade than the Adams trade. But wait, because if you go through the history of the franchise, you will also find that the drafts the last 8 years are as bad or worse than some of the worst FO moves in this history of this team.
Now, admittedly, some of the best FO moves came in the first years under Carroll. But man, he is rapidly making up for it. I think he is just old and lost his ability to process the complex sets of tradeoffs you need to in order to properly evaluate drafts and FAs. Or maybe someone he had on his team that did that left - but Carroll is almost inept at it now.
So given his abject failure as a GM in the past 5 years, it is hard to believe he is doing a great job at HC and was just hamstrung by our HOF QB. We will see now that our QB beating post is gone, if Carroll improves with a worse QB, or just comes up with more excuses.
Not really. Think about it, you need good drafts and FAs to compete. If you are bad at both you can't compete.The drafts / trades haven't been excellent, but to say this is the reason for the split, is a reach.
Wow, I find myself agreeing with John63 on a Russell-Wilson-related topic!Not really. Think about it, you need good drafts and FAs to compete. If you are bad at both you can't compete.
Their drafts have produced highly productive players. John Schneider has built a couple of SB teams through the draft. Seattle is lucky to have him. Also they've had success in trades. The free agent market anymore is nothing but overpriced vets looking for a payday. Building through the draft is the current plan and a damn good one. Drew Lock vs Jimmy G next year twice. Can't wait., Mark the dates downYou think their drafts are bad, look at their Free Agent signings since 2014. Yeesh.
