How about Jordan giving a pep talk?

I'm not sure how impactful a speech from MJ would be from an inspirational perspective.  Having said that, if he addressed the team about the intensity of playoff games, how important every single play is and how the stronger team mentally and execution wise will usually prevail while using some examples and techniques he experienced first hand, I think that might be beneficial. 

 

I would imagine, however, there are many better people out there to address the team.  I think the big cat could get everybody pretty fuggin fired up without ever speaking much above a whisper.

Meh... is he a good speaker? I thought he had a poor reputation for that.

 

Honestly, it should be Jake. What made him an above average quarterback was his ability to lead and his fire. That

can come through in a speech. He can talk about his success in the playoffs with this organization, what he

learned from coming out unfocused in the last divisional game, and how much to value this opportunity.

 

I think he could really put everyone's heads on straight.

Don't confuse MJ with somebody who wants to get along with or do anything for people that does not benefit him in some way.  Sure he does charity stuff on occasion and there is no denying his competitive spirit and experience with performing under the brightest lights, but I don't see him as the speaking circuit type.  He does not come off that way to me.  I don't see him as wanting to inspire anyone to do anything outside of winning some basketball games in Charlotte.

anyone else find it funny how Jake was run out of town on a rail but now he's the best option to fire this team up?

 

I don't disagree, just .....

 

 

I'd actually be ok with keeping any motivational speeches within the team, why waste time bringing in anybody?  These guys know what's up.

    • 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. . 
    • 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
