Earl Thomas signed to extension 4yr/$40 Million

[Seahawkfan80]

I loved it when Earl said the reason Seattle keeps hitting on 5th and 6th round draft picks is him. Two Nine is the one pushing this thing.

Could it be Earl is jealous? No way Sherm, you CAN NOT SIGN for more than me!

Yanno...equal is not more nor is it less...maybe they can see that. Bring oN the Draft.

Keep in mind Sherm's blanket covering ability allows ET to play instinctually without having to worry about that side of the field. They make each other better. It is a symbiotic thing, not a competition.

Sherman will be paid more than him that's not a battle he can win. Maybe instead of taking credit for Shermans dominance he could work on not having the ball completed directly over his head (one of them for a TD) in playoff games , just sayin.

"Just sayin" = put your fire suit on cause you're about to get torched on here.

Do you even logic?

Clearly a 3 time all-pro should be judged based on one single crazy play in a game we won.

Earl is a great player but he's not a better player than Sherman is and I'm not sure that comment is helpful in resigning the best corner in the game. That's all.

I have homework for you.

Get out your stopwatch. Put on the recording of the Niners playoff game. go to the play in question. Time it from snap to throw. Notice that Earl missed tipping it over the WR by an inch. And be amazed that he was even in position to get a hand on it, considering it was a scramble play that took a lot of time to develop.

You know who may disagree with you? Richard Sherman.

Hmm sample of one instance and your condemning the guy that makes the whole defense work, has us ranked as one of the best ever, shut down the best offense in league history, won a Super Bowl and is humble and hard working to boot.

I don't remember Earl ever taking credit for how good Sherman is BTW, he may have stated the scheme and his roll in it allows the Corners to play more aggressive.

I think GM's taking issue with the sentiment expressed by Earl in this video http://goo.gl/gtNx89 at ~10:12 that we can draft 5th and 6th round corners because of him.

Don't take everything someone says that you don't agree with so personal .

 

[LickMyNuts]

Unfortunately when you are a DB and you make a mistake or fail to make a play it is very obvious. Earl tilts the field on defense. It is hard to quantify his production unless you watch the wide shot. Happy to have him locked up long term. As are the rest of the Seahawk players.

ET makes Seattle's scheme possible. Sherman makes it good.

Your right I don't agree with that, and if I were Sherman I wouldn't like that when I'm in the middle of contract negotiations . This secondary didn't become elite until Sherman became a starter either.

If you're under the strange impression that Sherm isn't going to sign an extension with us because of that comment, umm...you can probably dismiss that thought.

 

[sutz]

Truth. Sherm will get more money because the league pays CBs more than safeties. The market will set that.

They are both the best at what they do.

Oh, and ET was right. Every DB we draft will have a shot to play above their draft position just because they play here. Well, except for whoever backs up Earl.

You're trying to create some sort of conflict between Sherman and Thomas where none exists. What Thomas said was absolutely true, and not an indictment on his teammates. The defense is built around him. I guarantee you that everyone in the Seahawks' organization, not to mention all of their opponents, feel the same way.
