    Was there such a thing as JS guys and PC guys?

    I think we've disagreed on this before but I don't see how you can find this plausible knowing how the NFL operates and that NFL head coach is one of the most time consuming jobs on the planet. I'd be pretty surprised if Pete watched a single TCU game during his tenure here, let alone spooled...

    Darryl Taylor

    Taylor's a cheap gamble both in salary but also that it doesn't cost a comp pick like it would if we replaced him with a similar FA. Ideally we would have gone with a rookie instead but they're trying to be competitive this year. I think if anything this is understating the differences, and...

    Mock, more mocks.

    Realistic PFN mock draft (no trade)

    Hawks agree to terms with Williams (3y, $21.5m per)

    I really don't see how this is a relevant point in a league with a firm salary cap. NFL fans only worry about overpaid contracts because it means there is less to spend on other players. Free agents are usually overpaid due to the Winner's Curse. Players on rookie contracts are usually...

    Russell Wilson signing with Steelers

    No brainer move for the Steelers. The problem with Russ the last few years here and in Denver was about paying elite QB money for middling QB play. Paying veteran minimum money for a starting QB is amazing value. They are going to run the ball and Wilson won't need to be a volume passer. The...

    Jamal, Quandre & Dissly Released!!!

    The news here is that we are reportedly cutting Adams pre-June 1st. Very good move if so that alleviates part of the concern that the Geno restructure created. This is the best opportunity we've had to really clear up our cap situation in years. I know it gets tiring to discuss. The Adams...

    You Can Keep 5 Offensive Players

    As flv mentioned this is a different question that asking about our best offensive players. The players who we would actually keep if something like this happened in real life (ie. expansion draft) would be the ones with the best surplus value ([projected performance value - contract value] *...

    Geno Restructure?

    Pretty clear evidence that Pete was not solely responsible for the team's short-term moves and borrowing from the future. It's a small move on it's own, but has worrisome implications. Will we disregard compensatory picks in favor of middling 2024 UFAs? Will we borrow further money from 2025...

    Who will the Seahawks cut?

    I'd love it if you do end up correct, but when looking at this roster that seems like wishful thinking. How many valuable contracts did we have last season? Spoon, Cross, JSN, and then a collection of cheap CBs who overplayed their draft position and contracts. Lucas was a big loss as one of...

    Who will the Seahawks cut?

    Just bear in mind that this is what any long tenured GM would and should say in the same situation. He wants to keep his job, and you don't do that by saying the team needs a rebuild due to missing on trades and draft picks or overpaying FAs. How he feels privately could differ, and the new...

    Who will the Seahawks cut?

    I don't think keeping Geno runs counter to doing a proper rebuild. Rather, having a steady veteran presence at QB helps significantly if you're going to be playing a bunch of youth and want them to actually get a chance to show their stuff and develop. Every year, there are a bunch of busts...

    Should Macdonald follow Chiefs blueprint?

    Under a fixed salary cap, the only way to improve the talent level on your team is to improve the production per dollar of your contracted players. You can do this by drafting a good player at any position, or extending any good drafted player to a second contract. JSN and LaPorta are both...

    Wagner in MM’s D

    For me it's more that the front office should not be overly fixated on next year's record. We have a few valuable contracts (3-4?) but not nearly enough to justify Schneider's claim that the team underperformed last year. The bulk of our roster is made up of players who are either easily...

    Peacock Can Bite Me

    I don't see the problem with this at all. A monthly subscription to Peacock is $6, which is much less than watching an NFL playoff game is worth to me even if that's the only thing I use it for (likely). International Game Pass is excellent. It's so good that many people use a VPN to gain...

    If Saints win, Seahawks are eliminated?

    This attitude completely disregards the impact of uncertainty on sports outcomes. That's reckless in the NFL where parity leads to most game outcomes varying between 40%-60% in likelihood; similar enough to a coin flip that you need far more outcomes to tell the difference then we get to...

    Insight Into the Negativity on This Forum!!

    It's hard not to fall into this trap when most of us know much more about our own team than the opposing squads. Who is going to rate Colby Parkinson higher; a Seahawks fan or a Dolphins fan? Ask that same question about all the players on our roster and we see very quickly why it's almost...

    Confidence in Waldron is teetering

    Of course the rebuttal is that if you can't drive the ball downfield then they sit on the short stuff and you can't do that either. Here are some examples that I was just looking at earlier. At least for these plays I think personnel execution was the glaring issue over the play call. 4:04...

    Confidence in Waldron is teetering

    NFL play calling for any team is far more nuanced than most of this board realizes, and I've never gravitated to generic descriptions about play calling as a result. It's fine not to like it when plays don't work, but if your best explanation is that something was predictable, uninspired, or...

    TRADE ALERT!!! Leonard Williams to the Seahawks!

    Trades like this are just way, way too short term focused for my taste; serious draft capital in exchange for a half season rental. I still like the FO and view this as part of the price of doing business in their "always compete" mindset. I'm sure it's tough to sell the team on winning the...

    Who is doing our drafting in the last 2 years?

    Draft success doesn't really correlate from year to year very well like you would expect if there were front offices who were particularly good at drafting. The Seahawks 2012 A++ draft was followed by a 2013 draft that only avoids an F grade because Luke Willson was a lot of fun. The Saints...
