Where is your allegiance?

[MesquiteHawk]

I am undecided. If we dump the best QB in franchise history because he is tired of getting smacked around all year and get nothing in return, it could be enough to get me to stop watching football. I just don't know. Will have to wait and see.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He's my favorite player, it wouldn't sway my love for the team one bit. I'd be angry and voice my opinion at how stupid it was IF it happens. But we have seen plenty of dumb things before Pete and Russ got here, and we will in the future. That's sports, you agree w/some stuff and you hate other stuff.

It's about the team , not celebrity players . They come and go .

You framed it a better way. It would be tough to watch for sure, ultimately I would still watch out of habit. The repercussions of doing such a trade would be brutal.

 

[Maelstrom787]

I was a fan of the Jim Mora team.

I'll be a fan if they go back to being hopeless, too.

I'll actually probably be more active in the draft forum and whatnot, because rebuilding is exciting. So many possibilities.

 

[rjdriver]

I rooted for Stan Gelbaugh at QB for C's sake....

Next man up please, I ain't going anywhere.

Its the Seattle Seahawks, not Seattle Wilsons!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And in what world did he ever say it was the Seattle Wilson's? He has been the ultimate team player his entire career. He mentions one thing, that was TRUE about the O-Line, and now he somehow is a non-team player. Or he's not concentrating on football, or he should cut his salary down because Brady did blah blah blah.
Typical to see yet another thread turn in to another Russ bash...…..geezus.
It's clear that many want him traded and/or want him to fail :?

 

[John63]

pretty simple was a Seahawks fan before Wilson and will be after. So I will root for the hawks all the time, root for Wilson except when he plays the Hawks.

 

[Fade]

Who the hell voted they won't be a fan if Wilson leaves? Why are you here then lol

Probably someone who was an NC State or Wisconsin fan. They're only a fan because the Hawks drafted Wilson. When Wilson moves on. They won't have a reason to root for the team anymore.

 

[ducks41468]

I'm just a Charlie Whitehurst fan that got lost

 

[HawkRiderFan]

It would be crushing and disappointing for sure if he was gone but the thought of not being a Hawks fan wouldn't even cross my mind. It would have to get to Dan Snyder type issues before that would be on the table for me.

For any game where Russ played against the Hawks I would 100% be "boo different shirt"

 

[GaiusMarius]

Always for the team. Much as I love Wilson, it's Seahawks first.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Feels like people are trying to create a Russ vs. the Seahawks thing imo.

To be fair none of this happens if Russ and his people don't make the media push. You make that move and everyone is going to speculate from that point forward.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Because no players ever voice opinions :?
1st time in 9 years, and people lose their minds.

Where was everyone when Sherm, Earl, Doug and Bennett were all blasting Pete, Russ and/or the front office?
They were making excuses for them, and yes plenty people did.
Or Kam holding out, same thing.

Double standards are showing even more all the sudden.

 

[TwistedHusky]

I am confused why someone would not be able to root for the Seahawks and root for Wilson if he ended up on another team.

Lions fans would have rooted for Barry Sanders, I guarantee it.

Betting Pats fans were rooting for Brady.

How are they mutually exclusive?

How often would they really play each other?

That's the same way I see it too.
I've been a Seahawks fan from day one, been a Kenny Easley fan (still am), a Dave Krieg fan (still am), a Kam Chancellor fan (still am) a Tez , Brown, Curt Warner, Walter Jones fan...See, I can walk and chew bubble gum, & make faces, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. :smilingalien:
I just think some folks like to make a bigger toodoo about this than need be.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Wait, so you're saying you can be a Hawks fan AND a fan of a player? Mind...…..blown :mrgreen:
And yes, I'll pull for Russ if/when he plays on another team. Unless it's against the Hawks and/or a game that would help the Hawks in the standings etc.
