Geno showing love for Wilks

To be fair, Wilson wasn’t good in Seattle.  I have family that lives there and are die hard Hawks fans.  They were happy to see him traded.  He was the luckiest QB on the planet. 

Because of his desire to improvise instead of following the gameplan.

Like I'm not saying Geno is bad, he's obviously playing well, but to act like he could do that anywhere and not in an offense that has most of its pieces in place is...a stretch.

I like Geno, especially as a WVU fan, and he is undoubtedly having a great year, but like many others have said, it seems obvious Pete Carroll and his offensive scheme have elevated him and not the other way around.

If McAdoo somehow stays I guess it would be possible, but beyond the fact I think Seattle keeps him even if under the franchise tag, I think he would be Teddy 2.0 here.

It is nice to see how respected Wilks is around the league. 

I don't ever remember opposing players telling Rhule something like that post-game.

I agree 100%.  I’m not advocating for Geno at all.  Just loved the fact that he was was giving respect to our interim coach after a defeat.  Don’t see that much.

Yeah I love seeing that.  Makes you wonder if others around the league feel the same way and if he would attract free agents

Matt Rhule? Respect? He's a fat loser and everyone knows it.

Sure, if we can get Geno on like a 2 year deal for like 15-20 mill a year, I'd take it while we find our next QB in hopefully next year's draft.

Honestly, I think Geno has played really well this year. Yes, he had 2 pics yesterday - but 1 was on a (what i thought was offsides) that Geno also thought was offsides and forced a throw thinking it was a free play. The other 1 was just a really great play by Horn (and Horn almost had another 1 on a very good play).

I don't think his throws were terrible and keep in mind that he was playing without his top 2 RBs - this is a QB who is at his best off playaction passing.

I don't think Seattle lets him go.  They will sign him to a short term, lucrative deal, and look for a high talent developmental QB later in the draft to develop.  They are a fun watch, and he's a great story.  I don't think there's that easy of an upgrade for Seattle over Geno.

Yup.  Try to get him on a 2 or 3 year deal, all guaranteed would be my guess...and he'll prolly sign it.

why do we have to do both?

we SHOULD draft a first round QB, it's time - but we do have Corral who should still get a fair look and I'm sure we'll bring Darnold back on a one year team friendly deal depending on how he plays the rest of the season and if Wilkes is HC. 

Otherwise, yeah - our new HC will want a free agent journeyman to be in the QB room with our rookie QB.

I think you guys are in violent agreement. 

We have one QB who, for all intents and purposes, has not stepped foot on an NFL field.  We definitely should be drafting one and looking for a FA journeyman to give us somebody that knows which end of a football points forward until Corral or the draft pick are ready......if they are.  That means the FA could be an "old guy."

What we don't need is a FA savior, unless they are truly a savior.  And then they will probably cost too much to be available to us. 

I'm hoping the days of panning for gold and coming up with pyrite left the building with The Process.

Yea mentioned it in the Boze thread....a Cousins type QB could push this team into the playoffs pretty quickly.

I'm all for drafting one, bringing in a vet (even if it has to be Darnold on the cheap), and continuing to develop Corral if the new staff thinks there is anything there.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
