My response to the ideas of the thread,
Says who?
Further on the basis of what makes this declarative remark legitimate or objectively based, prove it.
Not buying into the negativity any more.
It's not negative to be objectively rational about Russell's situation.
I could see Russell staying in Seattle if Allen and the Hawk brass circle the wagons in the off season, meet with him and give him not only everything he wants organizationally (input into new coaching hire, coordinators, personnel, etc), and maybe even a new contract making him the highest paid QB again.
Sure, that's a very real possibility should the Hawk's FO decide to commit to Russ for another 6-7 years.
But even if Russell finishes the season strong and the Hawk's eek into the playoffs, or don't, I can't see him looking around at the depleted talent on the roster and thinking "yeah, I'd like 20 more years of playing for a coach in his 70's, getting injured cause my O-line is always terrible and struggling to be a .500 football team."
