Rick Mirer, Dan McGuire, Aaron Curry, Lamar King, Lawrence Jackson, Kelly Stouffer and I'm afraid Carpenter is going to be added to this list if he doesn't turn the corner and start playing to his potential.

But he was never as bad as people wanted to make him out to be.
Yeah, he's not like Dan McGuire bad.... He managed to lead this team to a 7-9 record. That's not possible if you are one of the worst Seahawks ever playing QB. Even with the defense and running game we had.

Carpenter's all good. Ever since the move to LG his play has been greatly improved.

No way. There's no way the guy that led the comeback in one of the Seahawks most memorable victories is the worst player in franchise history.
December 1st, 1992. Kelly Stouffer is stinking up the joint and the 2-10 Seahawks are getting beat up by the Broncos. Gelbaugh comes in in the 4th quarter when we're behind 13-3 and leads us to an overtime victory. Probably the most improbable Seahawks win in their history. Stan Gelbaugh was the hero, at least for that day.
Don't have any idea if you know this or not, but it's been mentioned here numerous times and elsewhere that Knox was all set to pick Brett Favre with the pick used on McGwire (#16 overall) but was overruled by Ken Behring I believe (anyone well versed on the whole story jump in here please). Favre lasted until the first pick in round 2 which Atlanta had. They traded him to the Packers the next offseason because they were unhappy with his partying ways IIRC. Imagine if Knox had been allowed to make that pick. Hard to say how it would've turned out considering how conservative Knox's offensive philosophy was, but it certainly would've been better than the McGwire fiasco.loafoftatupu":1gn2wkeb said:I will never understand the McGwire pick. I remember thinking they were crazy for that. Knox pick?? No way. Not a first rounder.
Knox let him play one drive and in that drive the Hawks ran the ball on every play until they scored and then Knox pulled him. He was terrible.
Gelbaugh was a pick machine, Kemp right with him but Salisbury goes to the top of worst Hawks on the roster.
I will never forgive Flores for letting Krieg go for the 92 season so that Kelly Stouffer could play one series and get his face busted up. It was all downhill from there.

He had over 100 tackles and led the team in that category his first year... unfortunately it wasn't an official stat yet, so good luck finding his tackle stats. He brought more press and merchandise sales to the Seahawks than they paid the guy within the first week he was here. The majority of his contract was paid out by an insurance policy, which is standard. The insurer paid him 10 million dollars. The Seahawks deal with him was worth I believe 11 million. So they paid 1 million dollars and probably made that in Boz 44 and Boz 55 jerseys and posters in a matter of days.
...
I am sick and tired of people talking about what a bust the guy was. Was Steve Emtman a bust because he blew out both of his knees? I don't think so. In fact, he was one of the greatest athletes to ever play football and looked absolutely dominant before injuries ruined his career.
...
Calling Boz one of the WORST players in the history of a franchise is a joke. Did you watch him cross the entire field and smash the shiznit out of Mr. Elway who was doing his best to get out of bounds? I did, and it was freaking beautiful. He was the toughest mother to line up for the Hawks since Ken Easley did it with no kidneys.
...
Injuries do NOT equal a bad player. In fact, many times they can define just how great a man is when he overcomes those injuries and still excels and even dominates at times. Boz was one of those guys. If he had played for the Giants or Cowboys they'd still be talking about how great he was and how his career just got cut short. Instead they talk about him like he was Ryan Leaf. Sorry, but the Boz was a great player.

That is four games that we were leading that he choked away. I will also throw in the fact that he is in prison on a murder charge for the character concerns.
