LB Wagner says Panthers aren’t really rivals

 

Seattle Seahawks middle linebacker Bobby Wagner was perplexed Monday, wondering aloud why he was being asked about the Panthers during Super Bowl week.

“Aren’t we playing the Patriots?” Wagner said.

With three tight, regular-seasons wins against Carolina the past three years, followed by a 31-17 victory in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs Jan. 10, a reporter wanted to know whether Wagner considered the Panthers a rival.

“They’ve got to win more games, don’t they, for it to be a rivalry?” Wagner said during the Seahawks’ media availability. “So that’s kind of my perspective of it.”

Wagner’s teammates took a more diplomatic view of the Panthers, who lost the three regular-season games – all in Charlotte – by a total of 13 points before the two-touchdown defeat in the playoffs this month.

Joe Person is a dipshit for asking the question. I heard the way he laid it out live on NFLN, it was a poorly worded question with no context. Bobby Wagner has every right to be annoyed by it. Person has no business asking about the Panthers in that time and place and I'm embarrassed he's there representing us.

 

I can see Wagner's point. We haven't beaten them in years. Wagner is to Luke Kuechly what Jon Beason was to Patrick Willis. An under appreciated Super Star.

A poll on Seahawks.net showed even they think we're the "biggest challenge to future NFC supremacy" http://www.seahawks.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=105491&p=1540702&hilit=Carolina#p1540702

They had a head start on us from 2010 on. No secret. Comparing our drafts (or lack thereof) from 2010 and 2011 about say it all. WHEN we catch them, and it may very well be this year with another GMan offseason, it's gonna be all over but the cryin boys. Hope it was fun Bob.

I saw these earlier and was gonna post it, but decided it wasn't a big deal.  Depending on one's perspective, Wagner is absolutely right.  If you want to feel better, then the article has other quotes from more apologetic players.

 

Basically, you have to win to be a rival. Otherwise you are just a speed bump that continually gets run over en route to the dance.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
