In nine years he's had two losing seasons and only missed the playoffs twice. I'd literally carry Pete Carroll piggyback style across the country from Seattle to Charlotte to get him to Carolina.

How much of that is on the strength of one amazing draft, though?

Most of that amazing draft is gone now and despite a pathwork OL and injury issues they still went 10-6 and made the playoffs. That's the difference between a Pete Carroll and a Ron Rivera. We have to catch every break we can to have a winning record under Rivera.

I think that's Russ to be honest.

Dude can play football, doesn't miss games, although he does have an expensive contract.

There's a scene in Major League (just before they bring out Wild Thing) where the veteran pitcher says "I'm throwin' every piece of junk I can at 'em, Skipper".

That line always reminds me of Russell Wilson.

I just think at this point, it's just the way he plays.

Seems like TONS of luck involved in his passing plays, but after this many years?  It's not luck, it's just a knack I think.

He's a damn good QB, but there's a lot of more to it than that. A QB alone doesn't get you 7/9 winning seasons and 7/9 playoff appearances. Ghe Packrfs had back to back losing seasons missing the playoffs with Aaron Rodgers.

The folks in Seattle will never forgive Pete for calling that timeout followed up by a pass play from the 1 yd line in the Super Bowl.  

That was admittedly a spectacular blunder and reeked of an arrogant attempt at shifting the offensive star off of Lynch and onto Wilson.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
