What are the Seahawks missing?

[Hawkinaz]

 

[Fresno Hawk]

A quarterback.

 

[pittpnthrs]

Quarterback, OL, consistent pass rush, healthy RB, proven OC, and better ownership.

Cowherd just did a segment saying the Seahawks failed when they didn’t trade up for a quarterback last draft and I agree. Even if you’re a huge Geno fan he’s at an age where if you can get one early you have to take it

I felt the same. Hearing how many teams were trying to move for players X,Y,Z, I don't know how feasible it was but seeing how little Minn gave up to get Mcarthy, I actually looked that up this morning, I felt we should have tried. Maybe we did? Who knows? I liked Maye. I felt Nix was a JS type. Especially looking at this year's class and the talk of shopping Geno, we obviously missed.

Not too late, we will trade GeNO to Giants for their first round pick. 2025 will be our season of hope.

 

[JayhawkMike]

we have the scarecrow at QB with no brains.
a lion at OC with no courage
and the Tin man at GM with no heart.

never mind. they are all the Scarecrow

The playoffs

This guy…. Nobody in Seattle “hopes” geno will become a franchise quarterback, Seattle is polarizingly frozen between “HE IS AN ELITE FRANCHICE QB” and “GENOOOOO”

 

[Shane Falco]

I just hope the off season is more than the draft and a handful of minor FA signings. They need more drastic changes than that.

While I was happy to see the Hawks draft Murphy who I predict will eventually be very special I wanted them to draft Penix who has that ability to be truly exceptional. It’s clear as well that Bo Nix was underrated by the draft ‘experts’ and the QB whisperer Sean Payton has turned him into an up and coming pro QB. Don’t much like Cowturd as I think his blowhard schtick is insufferable but he probably is right. Another year of Gee-No will be hard to watch.

If it isn’t clear to us all by now Geno lacks the royal jelly to be the true leader of the O, he is a genuine headcase. He falls apart when he‘s hit frequently, holds the ball far too long when he has no play, fails to run except rarely, and chokes in the red zone. The remaining missing parts are an interior OLine, a consistent pass rush that must be schemed for, an OC that understands there needs to be balance in an offence between passing and running, and a team predisposition to being nasty on the field so that other teams don’t like playing in our house.

I wanted Penix so bad and I think he’s going to be a monster. Rumors are that Seattle did try to trade up for him but not sure how hard or if it’s true.

Good post!

Yeah we should’ve got Penix. We shoulda traded Geno to the falcons and our pick and moved up to Penix. Didn’t think he would go so early though, and what would this line look like without Murph.

 

[AROS]

I wanted Nix. I was surprised he wasn’t selected higher. Geno is not the future. We need to draft and groom starting in 2025.

The interior OL MUST be upgraded or none of this matters. We will continue to underachieve in the 7-10 wins per year.

I'm not saying that those rumors were total BS but JS is reluctant to take players with injury history.

I think this QB class is pretty bad and building out and looking to 2026 which what seems like a much better class. This entire draft class is pretty bad. Fans don't want to hear that but...

 

[James in PA]

Upgrade the line, just let someone else choose the players.

Well put.

It sounds like drafting any qb out of this class is a terrible idea. No one will like this but tanking a year is probably the best idea. Howell guarantees you less than 3 wins. Should be enough for 1 overall. Maybe thats why we traded for him...Schneider always thinking ahead...

 

[JayhawkMike]

Lots of draftphobes around here. “YOU CAN NEVER GET A GREAT PLAYER at our spot!!!! It’s such a crap shoot!!! Most picks FAIL!!!”

wah wah wah. Get the best you can get and move along. Tired of the mediocre Geno Treadmill.

“But but but if he only had a top tier oline and OC” yeah. Guess what. Any practice squad QB could be a decent starter with a top tier oline and OC. “ But Geno is ONLY paid $25m!!! “ we Could have missed this years playoffs with a far cheaper QB and a better line.

TheLoyalists need to come to their senses,

It's not an either/or question.... Picking one area to focus on won't improve overall.

Realistically, improve on any of OL, QB, OC... and the offense is noticeably better. There isn't a predictable way to "fix" any of those issues, but there are fairly predictable ways to improve them. (Likewise, there are highly probable moves to decline in each too). The best case is to address them all with changes that have a good chance to improve. Perhaps that includes replacement of certain personnel, but there could also be improvement with a solid 2nd off-season to implement a new scheme...at least in some areas.

It'll be enlightening to see how MMac decides which to flip and in which to invest time/energy. If his previous comments are predictive, he doesn't see QB as needing a replacement. ...but that was a couple weeks back too. If I were to predict, I'd guess a new OC, draft capital to OL, and similar bring-in-a-QB-that-migh-be-the-future-to-compete-for-backup process to '24 and previously Locke. I think that minimizes risk and still has a high likelihood to win multiple more games next season.
