I can't believe the animosity toward Russ. Yes, he's weird and a bit sanctimonious, but he led Seattle to levels of success we'd never had before.
While I joke and post my favorite ad naseum today, you are correct. RW won an SB and was a bad play call away from winning 2 in a row.
I feel like PC had some weird bipolar shit going on in his head with competing ideas of let Russ cook vs RTDB/play defense to win championships. The RTDB/defense was the formula for the first SB but that formula was already getting stale by 2013. I feel like PC started to embrace the let Russ cook on that goal line play only to get burned and then conclude that RTDB/defense was the way. This trade is a result of that idea winning.
But don’t worry Seahawk fans, John Schneider once drafted some great players in the kid rounds and is a genius or something.
Depends if we actually draft well. Drew Lock isn’t gonna cut it at QB. Getting two above average to good players along with the picks helps. Fant and Shelby Harris are both good.
The Broncos haven’t made the playoffs in forever. They finally got a QB and it could end up being great for them. They have been so bad at QB for so long that they had to do what it took to get one. I read an article that said they have a ton of cap space. Getting Russell Wilson makes them a better free agent destination than Teddy Bridgewater.
As a Seahawks fan, I’m excited about the trade because the team was stale. They wisely released Wagner too. It’s good to finally put an end to this and get to watch a different team.
The fact that the Seahawks didn't space this out and give Wagner his proper farewell in the media is horseshit. Not proper at all.
The only way I can rationalize this is Bobby responded to the RW trade by saying he doesn't want to be part of a rebuild and asked for his release and they honored it. Otherwise it's kind of unfathomable timing.
Seahawks weren't winning with Russell Wilson on his current contract and certainly not the one he is going to get in a season or two. There is a difference between animosity and being realistic. He is the greatest Seahawks QB of all time, a hall of famer, and wish him the best. It was time to move on. Did you want another season of Russ constantly being in 3rd and long, running around aimlessly, only to "almost" come back in the 4th quarter? Then complaining about how he doesn't have any protection or weapons? Thats exactly what would have happened this season, same as last. Now I agree that Schneider and Pete should have been kicked to the curb too, as I think Schneider has been the biggest problem of the 3.
We will see what happens. If the rumors are true and they are going after Watson it could get interesting. Or it could not be interesting at all. Either way it will be interesting.

They aren’t going to bring Watson to Seattle. The city would riot.

The part of me would that hates the Seahawks and the 12s would love this. The part of me that still loves UW football is opposed.

What if he had a "no sexual assault" clause in his contract?
He should. He actually is a Hall of Famer unlike Wilson who isn't.
They're both HOFers rather easily
Wagner has been the top LB since he entered the league. Wilson has barely been even a top 10 guy at his position. If you let him in you have let in Stafford, Ryan, Eli, Rivers and Palmer . None of those guys are HOF's. Wilson has never had an MVP vote and has been All Pro 1 time in 10 years. None of those things are going to change in Denver because he isn't that type of player like he thinks he is. He is an overrated, arrogant, selfish prick.

Being an annoying plastic fake person is fine when you win. Now it's just annoying plastic fake bullshit
IMO
When Jim Plunkett makes the HOF we can talk about Rusty. The consensus was that one SB win isn't enough for Stafford after this season
IMO
Wilson is the guy that when he gets popped for running a pedophile ring you aren't surprised.
Allegedly and IMO
Watson would be an upgrade. His secrets are out
I am against sexual assault by the way.
Foutsy, for instance, was a 6 time pro bowler. Wilson is a 9 time pro bowler which is as many at Marino and Franny each had.
My money is still on Rusty ending up in the HOF.
