Seattle was a shitty organization with an anomaly of one Super Bowl appearance in their first 30 years, but do fire the people who have actually won something with the organization. It's a such a great job that I'm sure Bill Belichek would dump the Pats in a hot minute to come coach.
Which brings me back around to my original question - when does it become ok to be critical of the organization? We have a good organization now, shouldn't it be ok to expect more now, or because it once was a shitty organization, we just have to take what we get no matter what because of a Super Bowl three years ago?
Just feels un half brain like to give PCJS a constant free pass just because the team used to suck. Peterman just won the Pac-10 and made the playoff, and he still gets tons of grief on here for recruiting misses, Malloe, etc. - and I assume he will still get that even if he wins multiple natties. That's the difference I'm trying to figure out.
You can be critical all you want. And I'm really in the same boat as you as a Packer Fan. They have a top 3 overall record in McCarthys last 9 years but it's mostly because their QB is a fucking unicorn who covers up their shitty Special teams, defense and running game. And He saves their ass most every week. I think they could have another Lombardi trophy with a better Coach and GM if not 2.
For the Seahawks, it's an absolute refusal to go get quality lineman. But Carroll is still a top 5 coach in the league. Maybe you run Schneider but it would be foolish to run Pete.
And as far as the Coach Pete comparison, that doesn't apply IMO.
I heard a Schneider interview the other day where he joked about how he gets approached in grocery stores regarding the offensive line and then said he'd love to be able to have all top 5 picks, but it doesn't happen that way.
You're right John, it doesn't, but your team consistently misses on ANY quality offensive linemen every season. I'd argue any you have on your team now wouldn't start on over half the teams in the league at their position.
