A C-Mike celebration.

It doesn't mean he is hated or that I think his performance on the field and community are lacking. There aren't any other QB's I would rather have on the Hawks than him. He is a great role model and dependable on the field. Yet he is annoying to me.
...and don't use Kaepernick as a comparison to him to prove Wilson isn't annoying ... that's just disrespectful to Wilson
Because the reason for being annoyed with Wilson is because he is to nice a guy or is to PC. Really?

You must remember, most of these players are in their 20's and far from grown up and mature. Which one of you can honestly say you were a mature adult before you were 30?
It's even worse for these guys because they have had their collective azzes kissed all their lives and never had to grow up and be responsible for their actions.. Rich and talented doesn't make you a man...!!
Every time I get upset by some players actions, I have to stop and remember we're dealing with kids...
Bull . . . and I would add to that word if my conscience didn't prevent me.
I'm going to rant here. Forgive me. I am sick of adult men in particular being called "kids" and their behavior excused on that account. We have to either start holding young men accountable or the age of adulthood will continue to be pushed back. They don't need us fans to excuse their poor behavior. They need us to call them out and up to a higher standard.
When I was 25 I was married, about to be a father, working fulltime and volunteering my time and energy outside of my family and work place. So were most of my friends. We were responsible, contributing citizens. And I am not THAT much older than these guys.
I know some of them have come from bad backgrounds, and I am sympathetic to the reality of arrested development in many of those situations. I also know that they had access of adult mentors in the form of coaches, counselors, pastors and countless others. At any point in their lives, in fact at every point in all of our lives, we face a choice whether we are going to live to gratify our instant desires and express our infant emotions, or whether we are going live for something greater. Whether that is reputation, legacy, God, or something else is up to them to decide, but they have to decide. And at 24, 25, 26 years old you ought to be able to make that choice and be held accountable to it.
Sorry for the rant. I work with youth and young adults on a daily basis, and the lack of maturity allowed in our culture, especially in young men, is appalling and only contributes to their immaturity. When you graduate from high school, and especially college, its time to put down the Xbox controller, turn off twitter, and pick up a book, get a job, and grow up. Be a man, not a boy.

For the love of god, can we make some sort of rule to not link Terry Blount articles on these forums?

My second choice is my favorite player on the Seahawks and also my favorite player in the NFL. That would be Russell Wilson. I find him to be a boring and annoying interview. Otherwise I'm a "homer", "fanboy", "apologist" for RW. I know that is weird.
Bennett doesn't bother me for some reason, even though I can see the point of everyone who has dished on him. He was saying similar things when interviewed right after we beat the Broncos in the SB and the confetti was still flying. He has a short window to make his fortune before he will be just a normal civilian like the rest of us.
