Thoughts, does he have a realistic chance?

Would be awesome huh.

1) Would be awesome
2) your 20 spoons short
3) Most likely won’t happen because it’s Seattle.. and Alaska south

It's probably going to be Anderson, but I'm happy we have a guy firmly in the conversation. As absent as we've been in the awards this year (our one second-team All-Pro was probably a legacy pick), you'd think we went 4-13 or something.

Maybe, Anderson got into the pro bowl because Crosby pulled out.... Witherspoon got in without players opting out,and witherspoon scored higher on pff for lazy journalists.

I'd honestly be more worried about Carter, personally I'd go spoon-Anderson-Carter, but Vegas has it reversed unfortunately

Meh. I'm not too thrilled about individual awards. If he gets it, then good for him. If not, no biggie.

What is the last major yearly award a Hawk has received?

Before that russ was Walter payton man of the year in 2020, but if we're talking on the field, probably back to Alexander in 2005 for mvp

Seahawks have repeatedly been dogged with awards

Which is one of the reasons why individual awards just don't resonate with me. It's pure opinion, decided by vote, a popularity contest. It's not something that's decided on the field.

He won’t get it IMO because he had some injuries which held him back a bit. It’s a true sign of respect to be a nominee. Give this kid time and he will be an All Pro. His time is coming.

Hopefully he stays in Seattle.

I have this re accruing nightmare where the new HC is so bad that all of our talent mutinies and we go through another Ruskell phase
