Geno has a great arm he just needs the reps to get acclimated but that’ll come with playing time.

Reality is getting ready to be a sob without RW. He's the only reason this team stays on the + side of .500

Welcome back to the Matt Hasselbeck, Dave Kreig days of mediocrity if RW leaves. (For a while, a loooooong while.)

Seriously? All the names you could have picked to make your point and you go with those two? We were regularly in the playoffs with Hasselbeck.

We have to rock with Geno the rest of the year, Russell's seriously hurt.

And if he's healthy in 6-8 weeks and we're out of the playoff hunt, which we will be? Then you shall get your rock with Geno for the rest of the year wish, cause ain't no way Russ comes back to a 5-9 team and risks further injury.
I bet his pride begs to differ Sgt., IF he comes back and wins out, it would be a mega statement, and another gold star on his resume'.

I actually wonder if watching Geno take what the defense gives him will help RW to see the light. It's clear he looks deep too often and ends up taking sacks or bad throws at times. Perhaps if he sees Geno using the short and intermediate passing game far more often it well help him going forward.

It certainly couldn't hurt him. That is if he stays with the team after this year.

That's kinda funny - all along everyone has been blaming Pete for the lack of intermediate/underneath routes - 'cause it's 'turnover prone' territory.

What if it wasn't him the whole time, and Russ was the weak spot there.

Just sayin. Geno didn't seem to have too much trouble with it.

Watching Geno vs. Russ, even in the limited sample - it's almost like Russ has a weird 'agenda'. But honestly, I couldn't even imagine what that would be.

Geno will have a few decent games and then he'll revert back to being Geno Smith. He was mediocre at West Virginia, he was mediocre with the Jets, and he'll be mediocre with Seattle too.

For the people wanting to get rid of Russ, your wanting to get rid of the wrong person. Wilson has carried this team since 2015 and your going to find out why Pete Carroll has a sub .500 NFL record without him.

I don't think Russell would be content to sit out if he is healthy enough to play even if we're sitting at 5-9. It's just not in his nature. I can criticize Russell for a lot of things, but his heart isn't one of them. The dude wants to compete.

Well, were watching Geno the next 4-6 games if not more so will see. Personally I want to see what the offense looks like with a different QB at the helm. It may be terrible, or maybe not. Lets all find out.

As for PC's record without RW some of that was with complete rebuilds so your going to have a sub .500 record in the NFL. But I wouldn't put all the PC record with RW on his shoulders. His first 3-4 years as our starting QB was about the defense and Lynch. RW was just in charge of not screwing it up. After that period yes he has been a major part of the success. But that doesn't mean he isn't without fault.

I would love to see it but I just think RW has too much Kobe in him. Many times the checkdown is there but RW just doesn't take it, or he takes it too late and the defender is right on it.

I agree

Also I think Russell is gun-shy about turnovers to the point where he passes up a lot of throws. I felt like Geno took a few more chances and let guys make some plays.

The playcalling might have been more what we were looking for too though. get it out quick, move the chains

Yeah Pete had nothing to do with Seattle's success in the last 12 years... it was all Russ... Ooooh wait Carroll hasn't had ANY success in Seattle according to you in your previous posts..

I said he carried them since 2015. Was that to hard for you to comprehend?

I give credit to Pete for building a great defense and roster and winning the big one once. I also give Pete credit for losing that defense and roster just as quick. What exactly has Pete done lately except to get outcoached in the post season at a consistent clip? Put a fork in him. He's done.

Pete was doing great for like 5 years, the league took that long to adjust to him, start drafting the long corners and mobile QB's at a rate that had to that point never been done. The RB made a resurgence away from the just passing with a RB to change up to having a RB that was important again also thanks to Lynch.

The league did it's copy cat formula and our system was copied and player type drafted, we have never countered, our defense moved on or retired, our cap hits went up with existing players.

Pete's relevant knowledge of college players expired and he had to play like the rest of the league to restock, that was failing so he went after F.A. players hoping to splash into success with the cost of high draft choices sacrificing the impact players of the future to do so.

Now we are flailing with a few good players, high cap cost for a few and no draft capital and a system that the league has figured out that we have not changed on defense, on offense we have a new coordinator but our QB seems to want to use the old go to plays instead of more control and having 3 and outs and putting a defense that is figured out on the field for a lot more time then they can or any defense really hold up without getting fatigued.

There is a reason he is a career back up QB.

Right? Yeah, he looked decent last night, but now teams will have to game plan for him and he won't look so great. Some Seahawks fans that want to "trade Russ" are going to find out how horrible it is to have a backup QB starting your games. As a 49ers fan, watching Nick Mullens, CJ Beathard and Brian Hoyer was absolutely nauseating.
He wasn’t a career backup that would be Jimmy G. Things didn’t pan out for him as a Jet but that was more between the ears and losing the locker room. His arm talent has never been an issue. Like Lockett said today Geno isn’t a drop off in terms of the passing game. Dude throws darts and I mean tight spiraled darts and this can be a solid situation for him if he wants to seize it

Nope. Yeah he started what? 2 seasons and has been a backup since? That's what? 7 years as a backup. And no Geno is not going to bring you all those things. You're delusional if you think that. You're going to miss R. Wilson's presence in the worst possible way.

I didn't say Geno would bring us anything I said his arm talent has never been the issue. Wilson gets hurt and a sixty niner fan comes to troll LMAO
