Well...this should cause some "reaction"

I mean....who the hell cares? GeNOPE is not here anymore and Sam is.

But :

Winners look forward, not back. Time to move on.

I agree. Geno is no longer a Seahawk and frankly, I have no ill will towards him or any former Seahawk for that matter.

I just want to focus on our players who ARE Seahawks.

Geno got his wish, I'm happy with Sam. We moved on from Geno at the right time, and all that talk from the mainstream media about Geno being the better QB just shows their true intelligence on evaluating players because Sam is much better..

I'm not going to say Geno is the better QB, but I firmly believe the HC and the system in which a QBs plays in has everything to do with their success. Vegas looking like last years seahwks, wonder what the common denominator is?

Look at all the high horses in this thread.

Screw Geno

You guys are no fun. Can we at least still make fun of Russ?

I’m sure it’s just the offensive line, or some excuse like that.

Wait, then we can’t dog on Schneider for building shit lines.

I was firmly of the belief that Geno to Darnold was more of a lateral move than a big step in either direction, hoping to be proved wrong at the end of the season.

I will say that I think Geno needs Carroll to perform his best, and his move to join up in Las Vegas was the best move for everyone involved.

It does look like Geno needs to put a stamp on the envelope, though.

 

[Sprfunk]

I like looking at and analyzing decisions made by the front office. What works what does not. To me this was a great move, and if fun to see the way this looks to be going.
it's also a little sweeter when a player talks bad about seattle and leaves, then struggles.

I understand this sentiment...though I think this has more to do with the national offseason narrative than it does with the player himself. The Seahawks were ridiculed all offseason for letting him go and adding Darnold.

I will say that while I'm not dwelling on the issue at all, that in my opinion - there are ways to leave any arrangement. Whether that's a relationship, a sports team, a job, or any other attachment/commitment.

Russ, Geno, ET, Deion Branch, DK - in my mind are all examples of players leaving with varying degrees of 'scorched earth' policy. Russ trying to get management fired, Geno just being a ******* douche, ET courting the Cowboys in the open and the finger, Branch "You know where to find me", DK "**** them" (and that was last week!) - are all examples of ways NOT to do things - ways to NOT leave a relationship. I dislike all of them for it, and I'm pretty happy that none of them are here. They can all pretty much **** themselves as far as I'm concerned - without affecting my daily life or obsessing about them on a daily basis.

As far as Darnold goes. I'd generally agree that I considered him a lateral move from GeNO. Watching him play the past couple of games, particulary vs. the shitty Saints - I saw him throw some pretty good balls - a few darts in my opinion. Whether it's the Oline, or the JSN factor, or an improved focus on the run game that's helping him? I don't really care. He's a serviceable QB who doesn't have either a turnover OR an EGO problem, and he's won me over a little bit. Game manage all ya want dude, with the improved pieces around you.

That's my .02.

Please tell us how you really feel

Please tell us how you really

Well kinda did I really don't dwell on the ex hawks all that much until they do something stupid.

Just my honest opinion while having coffee at ridiculous o'clock in the morning after the wife went to work

 

[Maulbert]

There has been only 1 time in Seattle sports when I have been bitter when a player left, and that was A--Ho....er... A-Rod back in 2001. Geno isn't good enough or important enough to act like a pissy ex who just got jilted. He wanted out, and to paraphrase Aladdin, "He got it... and everything that goes with it!"

Which I actually respect by the way and for the record. Just tossing light humor out there not meant to be at your expense

NP didn't take it like that -

I do drone on occasionally That's a known fact And not just here

 

[jammerhawk]

So far this season save for the game 1 fumble on the 12 yd.line Sam has played pretty well and is deserving of credit for that. As the team solidifies it's offensive output he will only get better.

Sam's our man!

Being the Giants benched him and are going with Dart…sure
