Cody Barton is terrible

[knownone]

Waldron and Geno are carrying Pete and his sorry defense on their backs. It's not sustainable. Pinning it all on Barton is misguided. A coach worth his salt wouldn't even have Barton on the field.

Pete is the head coach, not the defensive coordinator. He gets credit and blame for both sides of the ball.

Some random tweets after the game...

I miss Wagner..

 

[CallMeADawg]

Just awful.

He looked okay last year as Bobby's backup but this year he has just been awful.

Waldron called a beautiful game but we seriously need to start looking to replace Barton. He’s just putrid no nicer way of putting it and I wanted to like him.

Barton looked lost and confused.

That play where he let up on Hockenson was completely embarrassing for a pro football player

I miss Wagner..

That clip is an example of why tackle #s can be misleading. Barton made the tackle.

Dave Wyman defending Barton all those years really makes me wonder what he was seeing

Wyman is a ******* homer

 

[hawkfan68]

Just awful...

This is why I initially wasn't sold on the 3-4 scheme change. It meant more PT for Barton who hasn't learned to tackle or cover TEs yet.

Let's not forget how bad Jones is too.

I wish Bobby Wagner was still a Seahawk.

I wish Bobby Wagner was still a Seahawk.

I said before that despite all the ink spilt on the Russ deal that losing Bobby might be a bigger loss to our team than losing Russ and it's seeming that's accurate.

Of course, would we be missing him as much right now if Adams didn't get injured? Not as sure about that...

I still would....because Barton would still be playing. Adams would have no impact on whether Barton plays or not. Wagner would have direct impact on it.

True, but Barton's horribleness might be mitigated by Adams presence/leadership.

But I get your point.

Had to pay D.K. and Jamal.

He claims we didn’t even try to figure out a way to keep him. Just cut home without him knowing.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Never thought Barton was good/starter material in the first place.

Seattle coaching staff really whiffed on him.

Add LB to needed position as well in the next draft.

He actually back tracked on that a bit. Basically said that he didn't take the Seahawks calls because "he knew what they were going to say", forcing their hand. Hawks would have gladly asked him to take a pay cut, if he would have accepted it. Bobby didn't allow them an opportunity to even ask.

Love the dude, but all that talk about how the Seahawks front office did him wrong was mostly him just being upset, and didn't turn out to be true.

Since the beginning of the year he's played very poorly. Sure he had a sack in game 1 along with that good play against the screen. But other than that he is either not seeing the play. Inexplicably flowing away from the ball or when he does make a tackle the ball carrier is falling forward. Quite possibly the worst starting LBer in recent memory for the Seahawks.
