I don't care what went wrong with him the past 12 games or so, or how many crows I have to eat; I am for Tre Flower. A good Tre Flowers is key to going deep in playoffs.
Most of us would rather be wrong about a player being bad and have that player succeed for the Seahawks. Just because we think a player was a horrible draft pick, a bad FA signing or has had some horrible games doesn’t mean we don’t want them to help the team. As horrible of a pick Penny was I would rather be proven wrong (but I won’t be

)
But that's pretty much the problem with how sports/social media analyzes sports today.
I think there's a difference between saying someone is struggling, and that someone is trash/a waste of a pick, etc.
Penny has been a good contributor for a 1st round pick. So you are, indeed wrong. The numbers prove you are wrong.
The amount of first round picks that actually become stars, is also low. Which makes most of the fan hysteria sound silly.
And Tre Flowers was a late round pick who was raw. Instead of throwing him in the trash, the coaches continued to focus on development. That is, and should continue to be a thing. Especially in today's NFL where QBs get paid top dollar. This is why as much as Pete can frustrate me, I admire his loyalty and dedication to developing talent and coaches. Instead of running through players and coordinators like historically bad franchises. I'm glad for example, he didn't fire KNJ. That can fracture a locker room and the team's culture in the middle of the season. Hysterical fans didn't understand that. Instead of just replacing something, it's okay to grind, work, and grow the talent you already have
