    Geno Restructure?

    I think Lock could take over with perhaps no drop off because, while Geno may be stronger in some ways, Lock is stronger in others. I'm not one who considers Geno a top 10 QB. Here are the stats from last year Softy reported last week: Seahawks with Geno under center – Yards per game – 21st...

    The younger generation doesn’t understand how good we had it…

    I don't share those values, man. There's nothing weak about behaving with kindness and consideration. I was born and raised in New York so I know all about conversing that way. When I was young and insecure, I thought I had to respond to aggressiveness in kind. It's as I've matured and become...

    I think it violates the rules of this community, as I read them anyway. More than that, it just makes this place unpleasant. I see no reason to call anyone out like that. Particularly so impolitely. It's fine to say you disagree but words like "bullshit" should be off limits. Honestly, it just...

    Yes, the game was changing. Or rather had already changed. Just because I didn't see it yet doesn't mean it wasn't impacting the roster. Things would get worse for the Hawks before they got better. In this new age, bad ownership is the death knell for any team's hopes. Paul Allen was a savior.

    The younger generation doesn’t understand how good we had it…

    Thanks for posting that. Fun memories. What strikes me is it was after the salary cap and free agency but early enough on that it still felt like our guys were our guys. In a way that doesn't really exist anymore. One's team may not have been good but they were ours. I miss that aspect of those...

    For God's sake, let the dude have his opinion.

    The younger generation doesn’t understand how good we had it…

    I don't see it that way. I've been watching a long time and, sure, the game has changed. But it's much more wide open now. The more the violence is removed, the more the artfulness emerges. Back in the day, it was an odd mix of ballet and sumo wrestling. Now it's more of the former and less of...

    Not a fan of messages like this. Even if offered tongue in cheek, it's not something one would say if they didn't think there were at least a grain of truth.

    Geno Restructure?

    Ideally, we'd sign him to the same contract he had last year. A one year, 3 to 4 million dollar deal. If another team thinks he's good enough to start, maybe he leaves and we can't stop it. But I don't think anyone is going to hand him the starting job. We have history of letting Wilson start...

    Geno Restructure?

    The mocks mean nothing. Who knows what the teams are thinking.

    Geno Restructure?

    I'd sure like to see what Grubb can do with Lock. There's a heck of a lot of talent there.

    Geno Restructure?

    I don't see injury as the only risk with Penix. He's got perhaps the best arm of any guy in the draft this year but he's not particularly mobile, doesn't throw consistently well on the run and has had trouble on those occasions when his line couldn't protect him. He had several advantages at...

    Geno Restructure?

    Every pick is a risk. My point is, as with any kind of gambling, you've got to do your best to minimize the risk and maximize the chance of hitting big. That's done through really skilled scouting and waiting for the draft to come to you. In other words, don't just flail away but wait for the...

    Geno Restructure?

    You did, BlueTalon. That's exactly what I was trying to say. We moved up for Metcalf. It just has to make sense and a GM has to be pretty darn sure he's right because his job is on the line. It's risky no matter what, though, because quarterbacks are so hard to project.

    Geno Restructure?

    The cost to trade up would be high, likely requiring future draft capital. Wouldn't want Schneider to do it unless he was sure Daniels is something special. Usually teams are successful when they let the draft come to them. Examples for us would be the two best players on our team -- Witherspoon...

    Geno Restructure?

    I'd have taken the hard pass on Geno at $20M+ and signed Lock.

    Trade thought

    I hear you. I'm just sharing my opinion that I don't see a lot of difference between linemen who will go late first through third round (roughly). Of course the Hawks will do their own evaluations and act accordingly. As will other teams. Someone has to feel it's worth trading up for another...

    Geno Restructure?

    If that's what's happening, I'm not sure why this would be done separately and so publicly. It could have been done as part of the trade when the time came.

    Geno Restructure?

    That wasn't Baltimore's approach. They steered clear of expensive free agents, building through the draft and free agents they could sign for cheap.

    Trade thought

    Depends on the draft class. This year I see a lot of linemen that are all but indistinguishable. Starting around the middle of the first round and going well into the third. Some will probably drop to the fourth or beyond. So it might be a great year to trade back. Unless someone special slips...
