    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    ^^^^^^^ Garafalo of NFLN said today that Seattle never made a formal offer to Kaepernick after the May 25th meet and greet with both him and Davis. https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status ... 4207508480 Money wasn't an issue because it never was offered. The only thing we do know is that the...

    Clayton just announced that Seahawks sign Austin Davis

    I think history shows you that having a good backup who can hold down the fort is not really correlated to the cost or experience of said backup. I also think that the salary cap is a huge factor in decision making from an overall budgetary standpoint. Right now, the Seahawks have 8.7 M in cap...

    Clayton just announced that Seahawks sign Austin Davis

    And in each case, the backup was a relatively unknown who had no track record in the NFL so to speak. Hostetler, Warner, and Brady at those points were more comparable with Boykin and Davis than Kaepernick in terms of NFL experience.

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    From Florio's article, he gets into the competition aspect of it to and does his typical passive aggressive analysis.

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    I guess my irritation is not with whether they sign Kaepernick or not but the real reasons for their decision as opposed to media members using it to justify their stance on things. 1. I absolutely do not believe Florio and Freeman when they say price was not an issue. Especially when other...

    Clayton just announced that Seahawks sign Austin Davis

    IMO, the Seahawks decision is based on many factors: 1. Wilson is clearly much better than any of them - Kaepernick, Davis, Boykins. 2. A false narrative that the price for Kaepernick and Davis was the same. 3. The reality that the team has minimal salary cap room when you factor in for...

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    This whole thing just pisses me off on so many levels. 1. Does everyone forget that Kaepernick lost his starting job to Blaine Gabbert in 2015 and 2016 training camp? 2. Is it more than likely that Kaepernick wants a contract for more than the veteran minimum and a chance to play? 3. Is it...

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    The Florio article from today is trying to frame it as money is not an issue and that it's all about protecting Wilson from competition.......

    Clayton just announced that Seahawks sign Austin Davis

    I like the skill set. Mobile. Decent arm. Some experience. Vet minimum. Worst case scenario is that it pushes Boykin to win the #2 spot.

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    Logic dictates that Kaepernick wants an opportunity to play and that such a situation calls for a salary more in line with experienced backup money at minimum, which is $ 3 M - $ 6 M. Seattle had no plans to pay that kind of money for the #2 QB IMO. This idea that money wasn't an issue...

    This was always about competition for Boykin and I don't see them keeping 3 QB's anyhow.

    Davis in. Heaps cut. No Kaepernick. https://twitter.com/Seahawks/status/871 ... 96/photo/1

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    It's all about how much they value an insurance policy that's more proven/expensive that the one they already have in Boykin. Assuming it's a one year deal, it would also commit to keeping 3 QB's on the roster unless this move is coincided with cutting bait on Boykin, which does not appear to...

    Data Diving into the Defense Carrying the Offense debate

    That's a great quote although I am sure some will overlook it's significance. Complementary football is key and something that coaches like Chip Kelly couldn't understand. The Seahawks are at peak potential if they can run the ball effectively as it opens up the play action and big play...

    Warren Moon: Seahawks still have a Super Bowl XLIX hangover

    ^^^^^^^^ In fairness, it's also very true that the 2015 and 2016 teams were not as talented and deep as the 2013/2014 teams. Personally, I think the 2012 team was better than the 2014 one but at the same time I absolutely think the Seahawks win the SB 49 game if they didn't have all the...

    2017 Defensive Line

    The DL depth, along with the contributions of Wilson, are the most overlooked aspects of the 2013 SB team. I know this - the defense has not been near as dominant against top tier passing games as it was in 2013.

    2017 Defensive Line

    I am really stoked about the potential of this DL to be the best we have seen since 2013. That in turn gets me really pumped for their chances this year. 12 guys as of now battling for 9/10 spots DE - Avril, Bass, Bennett, Clark, Jordan, Marsh DT - Jefferson, Jones, McDowell, Reed, Rubin...

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    The other aspect of this that a lot of people are ignoring is the theoretical scenario of Kaepernick playing an extended period of time if Wilson was out. What's the drop off from Wilson and is it substantially higher than with Boykin? That gap/cost difference projection is very likely the...

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    Of course, Florio at PFT has a hatchet job up trying to theorize that the Seahawks are not signing him because he's a threat to Wilson as competition. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/06/03/russell-wilson-would-have-no-issue-with-seahawks-adding-kaepernick/ Totally ignores the...

    Warren Moon: Seahawks still have a Super Bowl XLIX hangover

    In this regard, the Mike Freeman article was interesting as none of those veterans he talked to seemed to think the divisions impacted play on the field. Maybe it's just plain denial but it's also possible as Pete runs a different kind of ship. They may see it as competition that's healthy as...
