We can agree to whole heartedly disagree. And please feel free to point out where I'm wrong. And I'm still waiting for that list of other QBs since he's so replaceable.
He has no internal clock? How does one develope an internal clock when your running for your life from the snap your entire career?
This offensive line is not a turnstile? That's just laughable and I'll leave it at that. Sad part is this is one of the better lines he's had since the SB. Which by the way was a crap line as well.
He needs a running game? Now you just sound like every talking head? Well of course he does, every QB does.. But how many 4th quarter drives does He have under his belt, where they had to rely on his passing?
Who would you put in over him behind our O line if we needed a winning 4th quarter drive? Give me 5. And then stack up his numbers to all of them. Bet he comes out looking pretty good. You see what happens to Brady and Roger's when you can pressure them all game.
Has he looked bad this year, heck frustrating as hell at times, sure has. Trust me,, I'm not a fan of RW, but to say he's replaceable at this stage in his career is pure nonsense...
This 10000%. I expect Jodi to probably keep Pete and shop Russ because that's the typical Seattle thing to do and then Pete will revert back to his sub .500 winning ways with whatever QB is brought in to be the so called savior. Fans will rejoice when the new QB does nothing but hit the 4 yard check downs all game long.
Penny's ran for over 100 yards twice in the past three weeks, and the O-line had their best pass pro game in almost two years against the Rams.
Stop making excuses for Russell. He has plenty of talent around him to not be playing as poorly as he's played the past year.
You don't want him gone, fine. I get it, it's a risky move.
But enough already with the excuses. He's stunk. Period.
Yeah I'm with you on this as well. We don't even have to go further back than the Bears game, really:
Nick Foles was sacked 4X, we had 9 QB hits on him, and we were in his backfield for 8 other TFLs! That's a LOT OF PRESSURE. But...alas, a 3rd string QB, playing on the road, in the snow, without an NFL snap in over a year....still persevered through it and led his team to a win.
Russell, on the other hand, was sacked 2X, took 7 QB hits, and the Bears were not in our backfield enough to get more than 2 TFLs. I was at the game....Russell didn't seem to be under a lot of pressure very often at all, to be honest. several plays he had days to throw the ball and effectively checked down to Dallas and Everett several times. When you've got time to check down to your 3rd/4th receiver...you've got a lot of time.
So...I'm not quite understanding the logic about our offensive line and the pressure on Russell. It really isn't that bad. He PURPOSELY did not take the check-down to Dallas on the sack play...a decision that doesn't have anything to do with any of the points being made by Hawker55. He made a choice in real time to try and be the hero instead of conceding that to another player and taking the FG.
