Are you at least cognitive of the glaring similarities?
Pete just said Geno won the starting job

Of course, he copied my typing style! Fresno has been an unhinged fan of mine for quite some time. I tried telling him to get help. I'd even pay for counseling! He needs to be medicated!
But he won't listen. Oh well. I wish people wouldn't make such a big deal about me here. I'm just a normal Seahawk fan like the rest of us, but alas, this must be what it's like to be a celebrity.

I only heard the game on the radio but it sounds like Geno won the job by default?

Now, imagine Drew Lock against the Rams and Niners 4x a year. Pete would probably find a bat and do him like they did the sloppy cheat on Casino.

If you wanna be mad at someone for Geno winning the starting job, be mad at Drew. Granted, his wrs didn't help him, but he didn't have a great game. And this was the game where he had to remove doubt.
Doesn't matter if it was bad luck though if you toss 3 picks. Absent being able to show enough positive on film to offset those mistakes tonight, there wasn't much of a decision...
He needs to put his head down and keep learning.

No Hawks QB has ever won a starting job in the Carroll era by throwing 3 picks in the final preseason game. Lock won't be the first.
FYI, FresnoHawk and Welshers are quite different posters IMO though both tend to put little Trumpisms into their posts. Can you believe that some of these radical leftists on .NET can't tell their football posts apart? They actually think Fresno and Welshers are the same person? It's just like Russia, Russia, Russia, all over again! Sad!

Can we just be mad at management as they’re the ones really behind this debacle?

Pretty much the obvious choice. Wish we weren't in a situation where these weren't the two absolute garbage options.

Not really. I'm cool with a gap year.

This.
What we've gone through in cutting ties with Russ is like divorce. You get a divorce because the relationship doesn't work anymore, not because you necessarily have someone just as good waiting in the wings.
They did the right thing given the circumstances and from reports about their past interest in top college qbs who came out 3 and 4 years ago, they wanted to try to secure the next guy before moving on from Russ, but ultimately didn't.
The plan since trading Russ has been to restock the kitchen, and get our guy next year. That hasn't changed.

Most of the same folks who have been saying that Geno has been playing well, have also said that he's not the longterm answer.
And those folks have also defended Lock's potential, attributing his struggles, in part to coaching, and the possibility that he can be more here than he was there to push back on the notion that he absolutely has to be in the future, all he's ever been in the past.
Theyre many of the same folks who have said that there doesn't have to be a conspiracy for Geno to win, that he might just be playing more consistently than Lock.
And they've been the same people who were ok with the idea of not drafting a QB this year and letting this year ride with a bridge in Geno or Lock, fully aware that Geno isn't a franchise guy, but can still be a good QB and that Lock was an unknown and worth taking a chance on.
The issue in this forum is that there are people who don't understand the concept in psychology of thinking and using the word AND vs BUT in communication and reasoning. It is possible to think that Geno can play much better than he has AANNNDDDD that he's likely not the longterm solution.
Or that Lock could have had his performance lowered by bad coaching AAANNNDDDD still need more tutelage for us to consider him worthy of being a franchise guy. AND even with tutelage, might not beat the guy we bring in next year.
Aannnddd - I know this one is difficult for some - that Russell could have been the best QB to ever play in Seattle, have won us far more games than he lost, have stats that are worthy of Hall of Fame consideration... AND... have also contributed to our offense's struggles, made comebacks necessary at times because of his inability to perform certain requirements of the position, and gone from a guy who bought into the notion ot team first and then changed his position. That a fan can see all the good he did, AND acknowledge the bad and that one doesn't negate the other.
Narrow minds draw lines and tear down opposing viewpoints to substantiate their own. Not bashing anyone. It's observed human psychology. If we are human, we are conditioned to do this.
But before somebody goes talking about how a person with an opposing perspective is 'backpedaling', ask yourself if maybe you were trying to put them behind a line you should never have drawn...
And why you need to draw the line in the first place.
Think bigger.
