Put all resources to the lines now! Both offensive and defensive line.

Might have to draft Warren from Penn State and Seattle can possibly get a Wildcard….

This would be great, but he's likely to be gone by the time the Seahawks draft. There should be good TEs still left in the mid rounds. I would prefer someone that is good at both blocking and receiving.

No problem at all. He's probably as good as Geno, much younger, less attitude and a hell of a lot less $. I'm good with it. People basked in the glory of Russ being traded. I'm going to go ahead and do the same thing with Geno. Enjoying every minute of it. Of course, Geno was never even close to Russ in his prime.
I remember Dan Marino taking his helmet off fhough, and chewing out the O line, but to great effect. That is not having a tantrum, that is anger for effect. I've seen players slam helmets multiple times, like my kid when he screwed up in his Peewee football game. That is one thing if it is a defensive player, they play on pure emotion and instinct. Offensive player are a cerebral sort, it is a 50/50 mental game for them. They are paid to keep their heads. We have lost 2 good players now, neither one known for keeping their head in the game..IMO.

People hate on RW, call me ME3. Tell me who is more ME ME ME than Marshawn Lynch? After he threw the INT in the Super Bowl, Lynch outed HIMSELF as a baby throwing a tantrum. "I stood in front of Pete Carroll. and LAUGHED LOUDLY IN HIS FACE" ML is loved, or respected. In my mind he outed himself as ME Marshawn for refusing to come with the team to Minnesota for a playoff game.

Tell me if you don't go to the possible last softball game of the year if you had an injury. Yet we worship people like that. Geno is of the same cloth, yet he is not mocked. Maybe it is because he is black with corn rows? RW was also black, but inauthenticly so. He was branded as ME ME ME ME while trying to negotiate money, or for new players, or being traded. Things that have nothing to do with leading players to victory.

I was never a huge fan of RW, but he was the best thing since sliced bread for Seattle. Geno, was a pretty good find, a decent player who was up for a raise. I'm glad he got what he wanted, but it is delusional to think he is a top 12 QB in this league.

There is a Mountain between Darnold and starting for the Hawks. He has to outcompete Sam Howell unless Schneider trades away Howell to save Darnold the embarrassment.

This is what Vikings Radio
I listened to Corbin Smiths guest from locked on Vikings and he was singing Darnolds praises. He was genuinely glowing with praise for him. Including his pocket presence.
Give locked on Seahawks a listen. I was stunned by what he had to say about him.
I'm now open to the idea he could be in fact the QBotf.
Heard that as well and he said Sam elevated their O-line to playing above their level......so he's sure Sam will make our Oline better.
