Why the Seahawks Need to be Careful

[sutz]

Exactly.

Content creator is a great description. Just like the majority of the media. They have segments to fill, and unless there's something to cover, they'll gloss over facts to get at whatever click story is hottest.

Russ left. Bobby left. 90% of the talk in the media was how we had no talent but DK and Tyler... maybe Diggs.

Countering that with the facts of what we actually have isn't homerism. It's just pushing back on 'experts' that know little about out team and won't take the time to earn more until they feel there's a story there.

That's just how it works.

Back in the paper days, writers were encouraged to be concise, almost terse in their submissions, because all that text took up valuable real estate on the page that could be sold for ads.

Now, content creators are encouraged to write long-winded articles that cross multiple digital pages, because that gives more real estate for ads and chances for pop-ups every time a page rolls over.

It hasn't improved journalism, it just gets writers to keep padding their work. It's all about the clicks.

I was speaking generally in response to the basis of his blog, as its the same kind of take many who are anti pete / pro hawks, or anti pete and by proxy, anti hawks, have. Whether they're jaded by their bias against the coach or just parroting the latest media hot-take on Seattle, which rarely mirrors reality or is based on actual research, doesnt matter. Rob may be a Hawks supporter but his view of the team's roster has been generally negative, preferring to predict future performance based on past play. For example, being down on Dissly for averaging x number of yards per game when in part, the reason he's been underwhelming as a receiver has been due to the QB prefrerred to not use him.
His crictocism of Geno has been equally as negative. He characterized him as a 31 year old qb who's done nothing, and that's all who he'll ever be. he dismissed his good performances last year and in the preseason entirely, but latched onto the N.O. game as proof of how bad Geno is.
He thinks DK is pretty good
He thinks Penny's performace an anomally.
He was positive about the draft, but then loaded his opinion with but this and but that.
And on and on...

Doesnt matter that he picked the Hawks. He's a fan and was smart to do it because it allowed him to be right regardless of the outcome. the roster sucks, but they won ---but no they need to be careful... Much better than poopooing on the roster and Pete and picking them to lose because then you just look like a hater.

The dude has an accent going for him. Makes him sound informed. That's it

Staton sound a lot like our very own Twisted. Hmmmm....

His criticism of Geno is correct and deserved. You don't need to be an NFL coach to see the limits Smith has
