Well, Keasely45 defended this shit. Let’s see him use mental gymnastics about this new report.
Bro. What evidence at all is there in this piece that it was Carrolls decision to get Jamal? Any? Or just thr opinion of the writer?
Heres some for you :
John Schneider has shown to be a stand-up dude. Humble in receiving praise, and honest about failures. In his last interview about Jamal and everything that went down, you know what he regretted? Not getting him, but how he was used. Here:
2. And in terms or praise after 'overpaying' for Jamal, who did the personnel department guve credit to? See the quote below and what Trent Kirschner said when asked about what the FO thought in trading for Jamal:
'After the 2020 season, Seahawks personnel lieutenant Trent Kirchner confirmed that was their thinking.
“John pretty much nailed that one,” Kirchner said. “That was talked about when we did it. It was discussed in terms of, ‘The amount of information we’ll have next year, who knows what it’s going to be?’ So looking back at it, you’re looking at Jamal Adams as your first-round pick, you’re elated.”
3. John, NOT Pete, has gone on record saying that what the team has been missing since the LOB are players with an intimidation factor, confidemce and the talent to match. Pete loved the 'awe shucks', diamond in the rough, story. John? Even the anti Pete crowd trumpets how over the last few years, the difference has been that we've drafted for ability, not 'chips' or the great story. John is and has been since 2019 /20 trying to shift the balance of the team to what it was. Jamal, at the time was the epitiomy of what John wants. Incomparable talent with the bravado to match. Was Pete just along for the ride? I dont think so. But of the 2, given whats come out of the mouth of Schneider and Kirchner, the trade had John's stamp all over it.
Pete? He took the guy that John has gine and record saying he wanted to bring in to be versatile and play LB and FORCED him to play a traditional Safety roll.
There is no mental gymnastics used in
A. Applying the same logic and reasoning to a subject that one of the best GM's in the league did
B. Looking at the evidence in reading in between the lines to see who wanted what from the trade and the thought process behind the GM who pulled it off.
