    Long term QB plan

    I agree. There's only one Patrick Mahomes and last time I checked, he doesn't play for Seattle. The Hawks, like most of the rest of the league, need to build a complete team (that includes a good run game) and plug in a QB who makes good decisions. I need to see more, but I think Geno can be...

    Long term QB plan

    For the most part, I agree. I do think that later in the season, for whatever reason, he started forcing things too much. He was probably putting additional pressure on himself, trying to cover for other problems the team was having (e.g., the poor run defense).

    Long term QB plan

    I remember several times during the season thinking that Geno was getting really lucky. That's fine as long as Geno learns from it and is better this season.

    Long term QB plan

    My guess is it's a combination of all of the above. Regardless of the why, hopefully Geno learns from it.

    Long term QB plan

    The big difference between the first part and the last part of the season is that Geno stopped taking what the defense was giving him and started forcing things. As to why, my guess is he felt he needed to generate more big plays to cover for the crap defense. Hopefully, he'll learn from this...

    Most polarizing Hawks player of all time?

    It's Bosworth and it's not even close.

    Most polarizing Hawks player of all time?

    I agree...probably because to me it's Brian Bosworth and it's not even close.

    Hawks Glasses Off: Beastquake Best Run Ever?

    Marshawn has four runs in the top 100, including his beastquake two run against the Cardinals, which is listed as the eighth-best run in league history.

    Hawks Glasses Off: Beastquake Best Run Ever?

    For what it's worth (admittedly not much), this video (from NFL Throwback) lists it as the number one run in NFL history. Personally, I've been watching the NFL for close to 50 years and it's the best run I've ever seen.

    Oluwatimi biggest steal in draft?

    Given that the Hawks have hundreds of hours invested in the draft and I have less than ten I also tend to trust the Hawks evaluations above my own. However, I have to admit that had the Hawks selected Hall at #20 I would have had a bit of a WTF moment.

    Oluwatimi biggest steal in draft?

    I don't have a link to the article (maybe someone else remembers where it was) but JS said that at pick #20 the only players on their board with first round grades were JSN and Derick Hall and that the choice was between those two. The Hawks chose JSN and were pleasantly surprised that Hall was...

    Oluwatimi biggest steal in draft?

    Just curious. Would you have been okay selecting Hall at pick #20? From what I've read, had JSN not been on the board at #20 the pick would have been Derick Hall. My guess is there would have been all kinds of howling on .net had that happened.

    Pete Press conference : couple of my takeaways

    Daayyyammm...Kenneth Walker III

    Since the qualifier "At least statistically speaking" is nonsensical without providing actual (not made up) statistical values (things like medians, means, variances, standard deviations; I would even accept a correlation although that doesn't show causality) I ignored it. If your point had been...

    Daayyyammm...Kenneth Walker III

    You can cherry-pick a list of very good players who have not played in a Super Bowl for any position, including QB. As for Marshawn Lynch, he was probably the Seahawks' 2013 offensive MVP. As for a star running back not being essential for a championship team, without Marshawn Lynch the 2013...

    Daayyyammm...Kenneth Walker III

    Sanders actually took a lot of criticism for that, unfairly in my opinion. Part of it was definitely his running style, but it was also because of his offensive line, which wasn't very good.

    Dan Quinn's Magnificent Rotation of Eight

    That's a very interesting idea. I can see the players union agreeing to this too. The players as a group have to realize that the huge salaries being paid to QBs are negatively impacting what teams can pay the other non-QB players.

    Dan Quinn's Magnificent Rotation of Eight

    Team depth is also a function of the salary cap. In 2013 RW was still on his rookie contract and there was enough money available to build depth on the DL. Once RW got paid it became much harder to create depth at other positions.

    Daayyyammm...Kenneth Walker III

    A great example of a high variance/high YPC RB is the great Barry Sanders. He averaged 5 yards per carry for his career. However, if you look closely at his numbers, a typical game for him would be 20+ carries for 120+ yards with 100 of those yards on two or three carries. I think Walker is very...
