The Seattle Seahawks are finally fugging up their cap. Marshawn is getting a pretty large sum to play as a running back in his thirties. Plus they have several other contracts coming up, including Wilson.

 

They know their offense would be even more squat, and Wilson would be quite ordinary if they get rid of Lynch!! :sick:

It's hard to spin it as mismanagement when you make two superb owls in a row and win at least one of them. Every contender has a limited window, it's what happens with a salary cap. If you can draft consistently well over a long period of time you can extend it, but that's difficult and requires a lot of luck. Let's focus on opening our window to begin with before we start bashing far more successful franchises.

But you don't pay for what someone had done, but what someone will do. Lynch's career isn't going to be productive much longer.

Agreed.

 

But think how much worse that offense would be, if you took away the threat of Lynch, which is what the entire offense rest upon anyway?

 

They kinda had no choice, and they know it. That's why they paid him.

 

At least Gettleballs, had the courage to know he could get away with jettisoning Steve Smith. Obviously, the equally as smart Seattle front office, doesn't feel that way regarding Lynch.  I would really hate to see what their offense looked like if he wasn't there, and Wilson became the focal point of opposing defenses. :phew:

Then again, maybe I would like to see that. LOL. Unfortunately, Seattle's not that stupid.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
