We will suck next year because...

Now we need a thread for complaints about complaints to keep all this gosh darn negativity out of our gosh darn negativity.

JFC, this place.

The rings haven't even been made yet and we are getting these threads already...unreal...

We won’t suck! We need to fill a few spots, but this team is still loaded.

How many times did we have to fill out game day with a guy from the ready squad? Even corner which seemed crazy. Most of the coaches are coming back. Need a new RB, and a speedster at WR.

On Special Teams, I’m eager to see what a full year of strength and eating right does for Ricky White. Horton needs to stay healthy, but he would be a big boost if he can play a full season.

Defensively, this team needs corners, but I have a feeling Mike will get his guys in there.

No, the sky is not falling. This team will compete next year.

a defense this good ensures you won't suck. 9 wins is the worst case scenario. You will be in every game.

In the last 25 years we were 3rd or 4th in the division 6 times the other 19 times we were 1st or 2nd. Quit your bitching, I mean Go Seahawks!

They had to lower the bar (to 13) to get a couple of those guys in.

I don't see how anyone could think we'll suck next year. K9 or not.

The starters are good, but the depth is questionable. Lose Darnold and Smith-Njigba to injury and this offense might struggle more than the defense could cope with. Obviously that's an extreme that I don't think will happen, but at least 1 team suffering something similar is almost an inevitability.

Hopefully it just like we were supposed to be terrible this year.

I'm actually almost in agreement with you on this. I think running backs are underpaid compared to some other positions, but unless it's a basically irreplaceable rb, you gotta stick with salary guidelines for that position - JS has been fantastic about finding good running backs in the lower rounds, and I can assure you he'll do it again when K9 leaves. Also, it was the K9/Charbs combo that worked so perfectly - Charbonnet is injured, so the new combination is going to be different even if we sign K9.

But, getting back to answering your post: if Darnold gets injured.

So, Chris Carson and who else in the "lower rounds?"

I would argue that Mora's season was an Era,more like a stumble.

 

[glenwo2]

Because we are masochists that expect pain.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Why even play the games?
Darnold can't win big games and nobody could possibly beat the Rams.

The end is near, as they say.

Because we didn’t keep (x) player/s
Because (x) player/s didn’t take “hometown discount”
Because we didn’t draft (x) player/s
Because we didn’t sign (x) FA player/s
Because we didn’t trade for (x) player/s
Because we didn’t get (x) coach (oc)

Think that sums it up

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yup. Everything sucks, ahead of time. Let's do this!!!!

I've posted this elsewhere, but it's easy enough to go review our draft picks over the years.

1. We're going to lose K9 over $2-3M. Huge gamble.

Minor gamble. RB is the simplest position to replace with college ranks literally flooded with solid players at that position.

K9 is a platoon back. Too fragile to be a bell cow. No need to overpay for a RBBC player. Would I love to have him back? Sure but not at a premium price.
