Not sure where you're heading that from,, he seems pretty much locked as #1 pick by everyone.
#1 pick of a shitty draft.

I'm talking talent-wise (imo). Not where he's projected to be drafted.

Nope but if Benton and Durde go with him.. that IMO hurts Seattle more than a few are aware imo. I’d be willing to say that’ll be a big setback and the media would love to see Seattle fulfill what they want and that’s 500 or below seasons
Durde seems replaceable though, no? It's Macdonald's defense.

Being picked #1 in this upcoming draft is like being the first to win the 100m dash where you're the only participant.

It’s very peculiar how this is happening specifically to Seattle vs how it’s happened in the last with other teams.
What the nfl so worried about the darling patriots getting curb stomped that they’ll look the other way. lol 😂 shits getting ridiculous.


Once again it’s speculation.

Anyone here can make a statement and say “league sources” without ANY ******* source whatsoever and it would be the same.

It's the pitfall of having a defensive headcoach that any good oc will get stolen. Under Pete no one really cared about bevell or the others. More concerned about the oline guys being tied to him.

As far as the team being sold, we already knew that. Just seems to be noise as we are in the super bowl.

We better win this SB so when the coaching staff is gutted and we’re getting our shit pushed in next yr we have this to look back on HAPPILY

Kubiak did some really nice things as our OC, but he isn't the reason we are where we are

There are other "Kubiak's" out there.

FFS many wanted his head in the early part of the season

Can't blame the guy for taking a HC job. Not mad about it. HIS choice.
Yep, if this is his dream, then good for him. He did his job this year, and there's no reason any of us should be upset with him. He never promised to retire in Seattle.

I'll bet Mac encouraged him to take the job. He had even less experience than Kubiak when he took this job. The Raiders have had their issues, but it's not like the most stable franchises loaded with contending pieces are firing their coaches often. Strike while the iron is hot. All it would take is Darnold stepping into the turf wrong in training camp and suddenly the luster of Kubiak is gone when the next cycle gets here.

This is a good problem to have. It's the price of success. If you don't want your coaches getting poached, someone like Adam Gase, Nathaniel Hackett, or Frank Reich is always available.

No but IF he leaves, and Durde and Benton go with him.. thats a ******* hit to the teams nuts and staff. Thats square one offensively all over again.

Pete had his coaches poached early in his tenure. It’s inevitable with success
