...and says pretty much nothing of any substance.

Former QB knows finding an answer at the position is key

If you're looking for anything revealing or earth-shattering here, don't hold your breath. It's a good read, but it also makes clear that Scott Fitterer has had some practice at using a lot of words to basically say nothing.

This part's interesting though...

Wilson was that guy in Seattle, and having him on a cheap rookie deal helped the Seahawks build a team around a young quarterback that reached the Super Bowl his second season.

That shaped Fitterer's thinking about the position as it pertains to roster construction, but again, he's too early in his new job to allow it to be dogma.

"The problem is finding a good young rookie and having the chance to put him on the field and compete," Fitterer said. "There really are benefits of that, but we're not stuck on the rookie quarterback. We're going to look at every position and every avenue for acquisition."

There was an interesting comment later on. He specifically named Dante Jackson as one of the promising young building blocks.

Too be fair, last quarter of the year Jackson showed up. 

With a offseason to heal and a contract year coming up iirc, he'll probably surprise quite a few doubters. (Me being one until I went back and rewatched a few games)

On team building, I like the sound of this...

I think the way I want to build the team is one, obviously quarterback, and two, both sides of the line. Really, settling the offensive line, maybe getting another corner, just creating competition at those spots is kind of the view right now."

Sounds good to me.

Likely Griffen from Seattle, a free agent had a decent year and Seahawks likely won't be able to pay him.

I'm just giving Jackson a pass on last year. Turf toe is a bitch. I've accepted that mine is never going to actually heal. I've been dealing with it for 4 years.

We may finally solidify the O-line. Hard to believe, so I'll wait until I see it.

Every coach and GM likes to talk about fixing the O-line, its what fans want to hear.  What sounds better to the average fan?  "I value the O-line" or "I value safeties'?

I'll believe it when I see it.

The fact we did trade a guard for a LT last year does give me some hope about the coaching staff though.

Focusing on the offensive line? Now that's a position group I haven't heard management speak about seriously in a long time.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
