Do you guys think we would have been better with a wide receiver for our 1st pick of the 2008 draft even tho double trouble is amazing we have had a problem finding a #2 WR for the past like 5 years and still have the problem today. We could have had someone like DeSean Jackson who didn't get picked till the second round. I really hate to say it but i would trade j stew for DeSean Jackson in a red hot second. What do you fellows think?

No telling any receiver would have been worth a damn here. But I do know that DWill would have been run into the ground and we would be looking for another running back.

Yup.

We shored up one weakness, but failed to address another. The result would have been the same, just flip-flopped positions.

What if we coulda drafted Tom Brady.

Man, if I could trade and get Tom Brady I would in a red hot second.

don't be a douche i was just pointing out that we got jstew 13th overall pick when we could have gotten Djackson who went as a 43rd overall pick, if this team would try to improve the passing game instead of making us the best running team in the league we would get somewhere. To win football games you need to have a balance of run and pass. A perfect example would be the saints

well, i don't even like our offensive philosophy, but they're going to be a run first and run even when it doesn't work team regardless, so they might as well stack up on the o-line and backfield as much as possible. maybe if fox is fired things will change one day.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
