working with ESPN on all day, driving with NFL Radio on all day.... not a word about our pick.

Sirius was getting ready to interview Ifredi as the newest seahawk live on their Chicago set.  If Gettleman had picked him we would have reached for a developmental project, taking need over bpa.  And you would have never heard another word about him in the national media until we played Denver.

Since Seattle not only got him but traded back to get him their GM is lauded as the second coming.

The media bias is real.

Our Father in the war room, hallowed be your name. Our second round comes, your will be done, on earth as it is in the war room. Give us this day our top prospects. And lead us not into reaching, but deliver us BPA.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
