Seahawks are Super petty

[BigMeach]

This is such a bad take. It's rare to retire a number completely from a roster. Besides RW took that #3 with him to Denver.

Denver folks need to keep quiet about the Hawks handing out the midget's #3, it will make them look like hypocrites when they hand it out in a few weeks..! Soon no one on anyteam at any lever will want to wear it, it could destroy their careers.

They waited and waited, until someone with the word 'BURN' in his name.

Yeah, the probability of finding someone with the last name “Me” or “Andout” were non-existent.

Ain't petty, you are mistaken being petty with being mad!

if someone has been nice to you, put 100s million in your pocket, just so you turned around and wanted that someone fired. It ain't petty, it's mad like hell, wanna BURN ya alive kinda mad.

 

[Torc]

Petty is expecting to reserve a number for a player that is wearing it for another team. If Russ complained about it, I would consider that petty.

80 wasn't retired until 3 years after Largent hung up his cleats and he was a SHOE IN for HOF. He's the absolute gold standard. Russ needs a lot of really good years going forward to reach that height.

Also, who's worn # 10, 17 and 8 after these team first QBs moved on? Why should we care about Rick Meier's number and who's used it since?

Giving away #3 to anybody, especially a back up CB is pathetic!

I see John63 is back with a new name. One that people cant get down on. Very smart John/Deanac.

 

[Rainger]

Obviously the best and winningest quarterback in Seahawks history. Guided us to only Super Bowl victory. Clearly headed to Ring of Honor! Definitely deserves to have #3 retired. Carroll needs to check the ego and respect the accomplishments!

I see John63 is back with a new name. One that people cant get down on. Very smart John/Deanac. TROLL! Go follow ME3 over in the Denver forums please.

PS: I would be shitty if the organization ever

1. put him in the ring of Honor (he had no honor in the way he shit on the team and his coaches) and
2. there is NO way the number 3 should be retired. He is not an all time great like the 12th man, Walter Jones etc.

For you to put him in the class of Largent and the true greats of the Seahawks is what is petty.

Ask ANY employer how high their praise would be for a 'star' employee who made a mess of leaving the company, played up jis own value while diminishing his teammate's and tried to get management fired, for no good tangible reason other than his proclamation that they were 'holding him back'.

THAT dude is supposed to have his number elevated?

Its not like he achieved a ton without the contributions of an ALL TIME GREAT defense and ALL TIME GREAT RB.

AND wasn't it #3 who threw the game losing pass to a ROOKIE DB in our 2nd Super Bowl Visit....3 SHOULD HAVE gotten the ball in #24's hands to ice that game, PERIOD!

Love/Hate #3

 

[Appyhawk]

Seahawks aren't nearly as petty as some of their fans/critics.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

I seemed to miss alot while on vacation I just figured they traded him because they weren't accomplishing anything with him and all he was about was money and himself like Aaron Rodgers.
Petty isn't the term that comes to mind given the situation.

The super stacked defense, Marshawn Lynch and a set of good receivers. He did what he needed to but he was a small percentage of why we won. The hawks respected him enough to pay him alot of money and trade him when he wanted to be. Any more respect, would be disrespecting other great players from that superbowl team.

"Super Petty"??? Go look into the Mirror, eh?

Here here!

I wonder how much of that decision was Russ pressuring that call so he could look like a hero.

Imo, that play IS the biggest blunder in sports history.

I’ve heard the arguments, the statistics behind that play (% intercepted or incomplete pass, success rate, etc…).

Folks can claim everything is easier in hindsight and that NE was expecting a run play. But….BUT BUT BUT…you run the gotdamn ball when you have a guy that just so happens to have the nickname “BeastMode”. All day, every day…every…single….gotdamn…time.

Just realized that till this day, I’m still super pissed about that play.

My bad….but yah…good riddance Russ and ROH may be fine (time heals everything…almost) but that number needs to stay active until we get someone wearing it that deserves those accolades.

54 on the other hand….do it.

Seahawks officially have crossed the line with Russell Wilson disrespect

The entire NFL world seemingly took their shots at Russell Wilson throughout the 2022 season as he and the Denver Broncos struggled badly despite high expectati

hm...Must have been a slow news day. Personally, I couldn't care less who wears #3.
