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.

    • Team is going to look mighty different and while I’d love to keep our guys. I’m going to go a different route and bring in a bunch of new guys. I’ll break it down by line: Guentzel - Aho - Jarvis (Bringing Guentzel back along with RFA Jarvis is a no brainer) Svechnikov - Unger-Sorum - Toffoli (Throw FUS into the fire and give him two goal scorers in Svech and FA Toffoli to feed. Teravainen - Kuznetsov - Noesen (Bring Turbo back on a discount and bring back our only net front in Noesen) Martinook - Staal - Fast (Bring back Martinook and reunite the MAF line) Extra: Lemieux (The perfect extra) Slavin - Carrier (Burns is declining, bring in Alex Carrier who I’m a big fan of) Byram - Burns (Ship Necas to Buffalo for Byram) Orlov - Chatfield (Bringing back Chatfield is a no brainer) Extra: Morrow (He’ll get his chance) Kochetkov (It’s his time) Andersen (Only a couple years left) Martin (Most of his time will be in the AHL) First Call-Up’s: Nadeau, Blake Trade: Necas (He’ll be too expensive, trade him for a top 4 LD) Trade: Kotkaniemi (Probably won’t get anything for him, just attach a pick to him and be done with it) Walk: Pesce (Getting older, will be expensive, play will decline soon) Walk: Skjei (This one hurts the most but we won’t be able to afford him) Walk: Drury (Staal is still better than him at this point and they are redundant) Walk: DeAngelo (Thank you for your service) Walk: Raanta (Hopefully he retires) Walk: Tieksola, Murray, Burke (Better AHL options out there) Re-Sign: Comtois (Throw him in the AHL so we have a guy to protect our prospects) Re-Sign: Suzuki (Good depth for our AHL team) Re-Sign: Coghlan (Good AHL player) Re-Sign: Mendel (Good AHL player) Re-Sign: Smith (Good AHL player)  
    • So the Huddle thinks he is either a youth pastor or Ted Bundy. I honestly love it! Let's just hope he can coach in his off time!
    • Yeah that is the old school way, have your young QB sit. Which I guess got less popular when they had to pay the top draftees so much.
