With all the talk lately about the Pacific Northwest being ripe for "The Big One" (9+ on the Richter Scale), Danny O'Neil thought it would make sense to find out which Seahawks would be the most beneficial help in such a situation...
Russell Wilson's unyielding optimism would have its pros and cons in a survival situation. Marshawn Lynch is running wild … with survivalist Bear Grylls.
This promises to be utterly entertaining.
Effective? That’s another question. How’s Lynch going to be in the wild? I’m truly interested to find out, and it prompted me to wonder who would be the best and the worst of the Seahawks to be tethered to in a survivalist type of situation.
Doug Baldwin: The worst
Look, I love Doug. One of the most unflinchingly honest and respectable pro athletes I’ve gotten the privilege of covering. But Doug without a map and hungry? Man, that sounds like a recipe for non-stop arguments:
“Why do you think we should go that way?”
“Why don’t you trust my sense of direction?”
“Is it because I was undrafted?”
“You think I’m a pedestrian survivalist, don’t you?”
And Lord help you if Doug managed to catch a fish or kill a rabbit. On the plus side, you’d get to eat. On the negative side, you’d have to hear all about the lack of credence you gave his talents as a hunter-gatherer: “You didn’t think I was going to do it, did you? You thought, ‘Oh that’s just Doug thinking he can get food. He went to Stanford. What’s he know about hunting and fishing?’ And I was like, ‘Don’t trip. We’re OK. I’ll get this little bunny.’ And now look at you sitting there with rabbit grease dribbling down your chin, eating like a pig even though you didn’t think I could do it.”

I won't go hungry or get jumped with those guys.
