Futility?
Again its a matter of perspective,
Despite everything we've seen thus far, the struggles, the growing pains, the missed opportunties, Seahawks by all accounts have a league average offense.
We aren't as consistent as the top 5 teams, maybe not as explosive as the top 10, but we are average in terms of the stats acculmated in the league thus far in that 11-16 range.
I'm even adjusting for Defensive fortune, Seahawks Offense rank currently at 10th in the league in both Points Scored and Yards. There Expected Value (PFREF) ranks them 16th. So, yeah they seem to fall in that average range. They definately aren't a top 10 offense, even though general stats currently say otherwise but as for "setting records of futility" that's really far-fetch.
Seahawks have left a lot to be desired but they have performed better than half the league with stats putting them better than two-thirds of the league.
I can live with an average offense for now especially when we are buoyed by what might be the best D in the NFL.
A 32 year old hold-out LT that has missed OTC, TC, PS, and 1-2 months of the NFL season isn't going to come in here and save the day. It's wishful thinking, no matter how good he is. And Brown is no Walter Jones, not even close.
