Does anybody truly feel that Russ is going to leave, or Pete will be dismissed, or Norton will be fired, etc,,,,? I dont. Not next year anyways. Maybe the year after.
My guy, Pitt.
No, I personally feel like nothings going to change until Russ contract is up.
For all we know Russ planned this being unhappy idea because he can then use it (somehow) as leverage for Seattle to pay him a helluva lotta money in his next contract.
He might just be playing all of us.
Carroll will only leave when Wilson does, IMO.
Hell, he’s openly admit it he’s largely here (still here) because of Russ miracle plays.
The two go hand in hand.
As much as they may not like each other at times, I feel both, equally need each other.
I don’t believe Wilson’s talents and skills allow him to operate and succeed as a traditional pocket passer throwing timely passes, short throws over the middle, etc. but Wilson cannot succeed in any other offensive system but Carroll’s set up by the run play action and scramble (as much as he can now) offense.
Both equally cannot change and adapt because their philosophy and skill set doesn’t allow them to do so.
So, will have to just take what they can give us for another year or two more and hopefully Seattle makes the smart decision and does not extend Wilson to some gigantic contract that kills the team for another 6 years or so.
The next two off seasons will depend largely on what Jody Allen is advised on.
Hopefully, she has some advisors that also see this as well and would like to move on from Carroll and Wilson.
Two things:
1. You keep Carroll; nothing changes not defensively and not offensively
2. You keep Wilson; he will become the highest paid QB again
Is it worth it to keep one or both of these guys for the foreseeable future?
That will be up to Jody Allen.
We’ll see.
