Speaking of false assumptions Fade.
No, no, no, false correlation. Cabevell dragged the team down. Not paying Wilson. That is what you call a false correlation. Sort of like if you got shoved hard by somebody into a wall, and you blamed the wall. You need to blame the dude that shoved you, not the wall.

The truth is, we probably don't have a choice. Wilson is going to get a giant contract.
Which would you prefer to happen?
Would you rather have Wilson and a $170M to build the rest of your team?
-or-
A Kase Keenum type game manager and a $185M to build the rest of your team?
Please choose the one you liken best.

I worry that this turns us into the Packers, Saints.
Another false correlation. Those programs were headed by Offensive Coaches. The difference is Pete is a defensive guy. He can build a defense in his sleep. He just needs the QB, (Wilson), and a run game. (Solari/Schotty.) this has now been fixed. And the team is clearly trending upwards after a slow start.
The Steelers paid Ben, built a defense, the best O-Line in the sport, and a great cast of skills guys. Thank you for inadvertantly admitting you can do both. (Pay your QB, and build a great team around him.) Big Ben hasn't made it back because he is a fraud. His strong supporting cast props him up.
Carroll can make up the difference in $$$$ quite easily by drafting and developing some young guys on defense. He does it all the time, you can bank on that, that is his history. I have no faith especially in such an old-school offensive system they can hit the lottery again and find another QB. (Still drafting some QBs here and there hoping you get lucky, but you can't bank on it.)
The smart play is to re-sign Wilson, and build a young and hungry defense.
The Seahawks have their own advantage that a lot of these teams with franchise QBs don't have. A defensive genius Head Coach.
The Seahawks can have the best of both worlds. A stud QB, and a top Defense via Pete Carroll.
With Solari now on board to fix the O-Line. This is a logical plan that can win them another championship.
