Jesus christ no. Nobody is going to want that shitshow on the team. Let Jerry try that disaster in the making out.

I doubt anyone is suggesting we don't make efforts to improve there as well.

I want a QB of the past.

Quarterbacks are more "nurture" than they are "nature."
There are plenty of talented quarterbacks to be had, whether they be second-chance veterans or draftees in any stage of the draft.
The simple fact is that if you have an organization and a team that can support a quarterback, they'll flourish. If you don't, they'll fail.
Take Green Bay, Minnesota, and San Francisco for example.
Green Bay took Jordan Love and developed him with all of the patience in the world. Now they have what most agree looks like a franchise guy. They acquired Malik Willis, a huge bust and a passer who wasn't very good to begin with as a prospect. He's played at his ceiling in spot duty. These guys would have failed elsewhere, and did in Malik's case.
Minnesota is squeezing near MVP play out of retread bust Sam Darnold. This is the first time he's been supported like he's currently being supported, and the obvious talent he's always had is finally coming together with quarterback friendly coaching and a good roster.
San Francisco had JIMMY GAROPPOLO TAKE THEM TO A SUPER BOWL. Is that the type of quarterback you are pining for? No. Geno is 100% superior to Jimmy G in every way except jawline. But success is possible when you've got a team and staff capable of supporting the quarterback! And now they're a juggernaut with Mr. Irrelevant. This isn't luck!
It's not the quarterback, guys. It rarely is. It's coaching, it's development, it's supporting cast, it's environment...
We gotta figure out the system before wasting assets on a quarterback who'll be thrown in a spot to fail. Quarterback will be an easier need to fill after that, and frankly, it won't look like such a need if we fix the system.

The evidence is everywhere.
Stafford looked talented but never had the results to back it up until getting to LA on a superteam.
LA traded Goff and more for Stafford, who has never looked as good as he does now in Detroit with a juggernaut team around him.
Baker spun out in Cleveland and has been great in Tampa Bay. Is he just better all of a sudden, or is he in a better environment with better support?

Quarterback?!?!!
I just hope Schneider gets better or we get a new GM that can actually draft and build a good offensive line!!
Until, then, quarterback may not even matter, if we keep pushing out backup offensive lineman moonlighting as NFL caliber starters!!!
Offensive line is the utmost number one need on this team…….

I'm still annoyed that the league passed that rule where you're only allowed to improve one area per off-season. So unfair.

All I know is we need to figure out the Howell question This year ON the field.
playing this out with Geno and then simply declaring Howell the starter next year is a recipe for another wasted year. If Howell does well this year then maybe the question is settled. If he stinks we go a different direction. I have no idea how he will do as a Seahawk starter And didn’t like the trade but am curious.

I think we are sleeping on Howell. Look how long it took Baker to finally be decent. Fix the O-line to middle of the league status and I think he would do well.

Agree Howell needs some PT. But also think Geno deserves PT with an improved O Line. Hope we grab a young QB that catches our eye when that chance presents itself but wouldn't dare risk putting him on the field under current conditions.

You mean the guy who set the league record for rookie passing TDs?

For sure! I just think that Sam will be our guy once we get the line fixed. We know he can play, but he was in a bad spot running and gunning for his life, so I think we rescued him in time, and now he is developing behind Geno. We may have our QBOTF already, but the line needs to be addressed before we kill any of his potential.
