I loathe Russell Wison


SCP

In Washington state today I saw a short pudgy 40 year old white dude with a mustache wearing a Wilson jersey walking down the road smoking and trying to sing along to whatever out of date hip hop he had blasting from a blue tooth speaker dangling from his backpack by a carabiner.

With no Lynch, a pedestrian by NFL standards WR corps, and no (I mean NO (I mean NO!!!)) OL, he best laugh now.  I don't know what the odds are he even makes it to December, but they're less than 100%, I'll tell you that.  In the first month alone he'll face Dolphins, Rams, and Jets DL's that don't like this smile much more than you SCP.  If he does make it to December it's Bon Appetit for our front 7.

It's similar to Cam in 2014. Cam got beat up, but his size helped him. Wilson just might break in half.

Doug Baldwin alone makes that wr corps at least somewhat above average. And Rawls is still a beast. Wouldn't count em out yet

His WR corps is, and always has been, a hell of a lot better than people make it out to be.  Baldwin has always been underrated as fug and showed out last season once they started getting the ball to him more.  Back when Golden Tate was still there he was even better than Baldwin, yet put up pedestrian numbers (but was a beast when it came to the eye test) until he went to the Lions and started to live more up to his potential.  Kearse is good for at least two "WTF are you fuging kidding me?!" frustrating ass miracle plays a game that always bails Wilson out on shitty passes/decisions... and now they got this mother fuger Tyler Lockett who's fast and shifty as poo and looks like he's going to be a problem for years to come in the passing and return game.  He could end up being the best receiver on the roster within the next couple of years.

People have always pounded that "he has no receivers" drum to prop him up... but his receiving corps is legit as fug, and always has been.  There's just no big stars or big bodied freak athlete WRs.  They're literally the perfect fit for what the Seahawks do on offense (that scramble drill backyard football bullshit).  Also, if that former Saints ginger TE of theirs comes back healthy, then we all already know he can be a problem as much we may dislike him.

Then their new RB, Rawls, looks like their running game isn't going to skip much of a beat.  He's not gonna be prime Beast Mode or anything, but the dude looked really good in the games he played last year.

So yeah, they're pretty set offensively other than their offensive line.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
