Seahawks in extension talks with Bobby Wagner


Recommended Posts

They are going to trade Wilson for a King's Ransom. Like two first rounders or some poo. Then they'll probably trade Irvin to the Falcons.

There's no such thing as fair trade value for a franchise QB.  I think the media vastly overrates Wilson, but most of the Huddle vastly underrates him.  He isn't an elite QB, but he's better than most.

Early on, it looked like the Chargers really won that trade big that ended up with Eli in NY and Phillip Rivers + a lot in SD, but how does that look now?  The Giants have won two Super Bowls.  It also looked like the Rams won big shipping that #2 pick to the Redskins that became RG3, but neither has done much since, so did anyone really "win"?

If you have a legit starting QB you have to try to keep him.  If you trade him for picks, you better turn one of those picks into a legit starting QB which is a huge roll of the dice.

It doesn't make good business sense for Luke's agent to agree to a new deal before Wagner's agent. Luke's got 2 years left, Wagner's on his last. It would be stupid to let a guy that has never led the league in tackles, didn't win DRoY and has never won DPoY get more money than Luke simply because he's got a ring. And Wagner can't even claim to have a SB MVP. That went to LB Malcolm Smith, not Wagner, despite what a Falcon troll has been saying on this board.

The Rams definitely won that trade are you kidding? That team is stacked with talent all along the defense but hasn't had a quarterback or weapons to take them to the next level.

​Thank you for essentially making my point for me.  You either have a QB or you don't.  You can't "win" a trade without winning on the field.  At the end of the day, all that matters are W's and L's and Super Bowls.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
