As much as we can rail on Pete Carroll and Shane Waldron (rightly so), I still believe that this team can become a contender in 1 or 2 seasons. I also thought our team’s future was bleak and went into complete doomer mode after the missed field goal, but I came to realize that John Schneider has been killing it with the draft picks after the Russell Wilson trade. Even with the late picks that weren’t from the trade. Like the JSN and Charbonnet picks (I’ll admit, I didn’t like these picks at first, but I was flat our wrong and I’ll take the L on that take. They’ve been balling out despite their limited workload!) alongside late round picks like Anthony Bradford and Olusegun Oluwatimi. I know Bradford’s from the Denver trade, but he’s still a late round steal. If we can…
-
keep hitting on draft picks and let Pete Carroll coach them up
-
gradually shed some of our overpaid veterans in a way that doesn’t result in too much in terms of dead cap losses
-
replace Shane Waldron with a more exciting OC
and finally
- draft a rookie qb that can learn under Geno, as Geno, himself, excitedly endorsed the idea of teaching his eventual replacement
then we’ll have something to look forward to again. Feel free to counter these points as I just thought of these on a whim, but I don’t think our franchise is screwed just yet.
The season isn’t over yet and we still have a winning record. Also really every year there’s only two or three teams that are completely solid Super Bowl level teams. Then there’s like that middle ground where most teams land where they play decent, have good players, play competitively and etc. then the bottom tier which is complete trash and a while from having a good team. It’s easy to get hard on our team since we care about it but when watching other games I have notice a lot of the same stuff the Seahawks go through but it just seems worse when we watch our team lol
