With a potential HC candidate coming out next year like Ben Johnson, is it time to start talking about Pete “retiring” to just his executive VP role and us taking a shot at hiring Ben? Seems like the offense is what is holding us back at this point, and the Lions offense under Ben are getting way more done with arguably less overall talent. Our defense is young and getting better every year, but they aren’t the type that is going to single handedly be winning us games. We need a functional offense that can show up against the elite teams.
I love Pete and definitely want his presence still in the organization, but he isn’t getting any younger and it seems like now is the time to make a change with the very real prospect of drafting a QB next year.
……who
I wouldn’t hate this at all. I’m tired of being scared of change cause we might end up in a worse spot. I rather suck and have higher draft picks than be stuck in mediocrity forever. The question is who would Ben Johnson target for Qb? I wouldn’t mind Jayden Daniels.
My preferred choice would be either Daniels or Penix Jr., but I’m not an nfl scout so maybe there’s a better guy that’s just flying under my radar.
Pete would never give control of anything to anyone. It’s not in his DNA and the whole reason he chose the Seahawks in the first place.
