Nothing will help me get over the Wilson era faster than seeing this kind of gag-worthy crap.

Re: Russ traded!
I'm fine with the move. I've come around on it.
The status quo wasn't working. They either needed to completely clean house or cut ties with him.
Russ has his limitations. This team was never going to recreate the days of the LOB. They caught lightning in a bottle with that group. But it was time.

Re: Russ to Denver!
Is he really worth it?
If they can come away with one of the top QB's in next years draft (Young/Stroud). Then the trade was totally worth it in my mind. The value of having a good young QB on a rookie deal can't be matched.
Both Young & Stroud look like the real deal. It's why I don't have a problem with them bottoming out this season (4-5 wins). Securing a top 5 pick could go a long way.

Re: Russ to Denver!
And now, according to a front-office source, Carroll was staunchly opposed to the idea of trading his franchise quarterback, believing that he could manage the drama and Wilson's declining mobility. With final say over personnel decisions, Carroll's view was the one that mattered most. But his stance would eventually soften.
"He's a great pro, he's a veteran, he shows up, leader -- all that stuff -- every single day," a Seahawks front-office source said of Wilson and the resistance among some in the organization to trade him. "So yeah, it took a while."
Then, after the 2021 season, Wilson and Carroll discussed the possibility of a trade.
"That's when s--- got real," a front-office source said.
BY THIS POINT, some within the Seahawks believed Wilson's best days were behind him. Their concern wasn't with the finger injury that had sidelined him for three games in 2021. Some believed Wilson's escapability -- one of the traits that made him an elite quarterback worthy of elite money -- was waning.
"He's not as mobile as he used to be," said one source in the Seahawks' front office.
"I just felt like he's a descending player," another front-office source said, citing the same mobility concern. "Is he going to be able to be a true pocket passer at the end of his career and just stand there and drop the ball off to his checkdowns? He's never done that. I can't tell you he's going to be able to do that."
"So those two things," a source in the Seahawks' front office said. "A declining player and then what the ask was going to be the next time, which would have been his third time. It's like, 'No, let's play really good defense, let's run the s--- out of the ball. That's how we won a world championship.' That's what we've kept going back to."

Re: Seahawk News & Notes!
I don’t see Seattle winning more than five games. Carroll is 47-49 in the regular season and 2-3 in the playoffs without Wilson. He is 105-55-1 in the regular season and 9-7 with two Super Bowl appearances with Wilson. So was it Carroll or was it Wilson?
We will find out a lot about both men this season.

Re: Seahawk News & Notes!
I watched the 2nd half of the Denver game yesterday. They didn't look good. Coaching is a real issue. But Russ played poorly for a good chunk of that game yesterday.
He made one or two plays in the 4th Q that won them the game. Which is the norm for him. But Houston is not a good team. It shouldn't have been that close.
