“Hey Russell, we can pay you lots and lots and lots of money to be our QB. OR we can pay you EVEN more if we take money we would spend for a good offensive line and give it to you. Which do you want?”

“I’ll take B. I want to be the highest paid player in the NFL”

“Hey, Seahawks, why aren’t you give me star players and an offensive line? You are hurting my legacy.”

This is such a badly oversimplified excuse for the OL performance. The offensive line was shite when he was on a rookie contract and his second contract, too. Not a valid excuse.

His cap hit % is already only the 4th highest in the league. He isn't directly stealing money from the line like you suggest.

Please explain how Rodgers has been the highest paid, and one of the highest paid QBs for the last decade, and always has a top flight offensive line.

Then after that, explain how Big Ben, and Brees also had top flight OLine play for the last decade. Despite their massive contracts over the years.

The Seahawks rank 32nd in O-Line spending since 2014 and it shows.

Good points on other OL's but as for ours..I ask you again
How are we going to put together this great OL being against
the cap without getting rid of key players on D and the WR's
to get the picks and cap space.You said you would make a
great GM so what is your move(s)?

If you had only brought up GB, I would have responded that officials can't seem to see jerseys getting stretched when it is a member of the GB OL doing it.
