That is a lot of smoke about this, all over the NFL talk shows, for something with supposedly no legs.

The Chiefs were just blown out. Mahomes is still taking heat, or getting defended.

Brady just won another SB.

It isn't like there is nothing to write about. There is probably some truth here.

They probably warned Carroll about letting Russ cook. So Carroll gave in, then he shut down Russ cooking in the 2nd half of the year. So Russ did exactly what he promised - start looking at his options to play under a coach or team where he could accomplish more.

And we have this because of that.

Asked by Dan Patrick whether he’s available in trade, Wilson said this: “I’m not sure if I’m available or not. That’s a Seahawks question.”

...

“I definitely believe they’ve gotten calls,” Wilson said regarding potential trade inquiries. “Any time you’re a player that tries to produce every week and has done it consistently, I think people are gonna call for sure. I think that’s part of the process.”

Another part of the process is winning. Wilson wants to do more of it. “At the end of the day, you want to win,” Wilson said. “You play this game every day to wake up to win. You play this game to be the best in the world. You know what I hate? I hate sitting there watching other guys play the game.”

If it meant we were building up for another run I'd take it. Right now its the same thing every year. No real progress is being made. Just rinse and repeat getting $h!t on in the second round with another Wilson dud performance in the playoffs.

There is no upside to keeping Carroll and trading Wilson.

There is an upside to getting rid of Carroll and keeping Wilson. Not a great % of success but the alternative has a near zero chance of success.

This isn't hard math. You give Wilson what he wants. If Wilson wants what the coach does not, then the coach has to go.

Because our coach is almost 90 anyway and it isn't like he has many years left to build any kind of winning team without a QB.

While a great QB can get another coach and keep winning.

Not hard math. AT ALL.



EDIT:
Okay maybe if you can trade for Watson. But that isn't even close to likely.

I don't buy the Browns story for a second. Chris Simms is a clown, and the rumor was corroborated by exactly no one.

With Mahomes, though... Schneider comes from Green Bay. He's a Thompson disciple. They evaluated Mahomes as the best player in the class, and from a value standpoint, they'd HAVE to have considered him at the spot. Even still, such an incendiary rumor getting out of the building leads me to believe that they were just deliberately trying to secure an attractive trade-down package for 26 had Mahomes fallen.

EDIT: Doubling back to the Browns story... does anyone believe the Browns would seriously turn down Russell Wilson for a draft pick? The compensation is staggeringly off.

Russ doesn’t throw into tight windows, if they like Mahomes how could they not like Allen? I loved Allen and I dreamed of getting him.

Wow I completely missed it too! All I saw was Baker never once thought it was Allen. I think your %100 right. The truth is I’m completely biased against Sierra, I don’t like her, I hate her friends, & since they got together I’ve wanted Russ out of Seattle.

TwistedHusky wrote:It was not a difference of opinion.

The actual quote (allegedly) from Carroll to the media in why they released the OC was a 'difference in philosophy'

That might sound the same, but it isn't.

TwistedHusky wrote:That is the thing Chris,

Difference of opinion you can overcome. Maybe you can address or negotiate on key points. Maybe concede here and there or the reverse.

Difference of philosophy means 2 core beliefs that are not compatible. Building a bridge over that is not impossible but unlikely. Hence the need to get rid of the OC.

More importantly, Wilson was aligned to his OC's philosophy. Which means Carroll likely is not aligned to Wilson's. That is a problem that there is little avenue to overcome.

Even worse when you hear some of the quotes in the media about his and they say things like 'I talked to Carroll and he said he wanted to get back to 90s football" (ie run the ball, control the clock, etc). Notice I did not say they 'think' Carroll wants this, this is what Carroll allegedly said.

Which is problematic because if you want to re-create 90s football, you are not going to be a winning playoff team. Period. Worse you are not going to have the support of your star QB, because 90s football cuts the legs off of the best QBs.

A difference of philosophy is a giant chasm. And if this exists between Carroll and Wilson, then the person who matters here is Wilson. Carroll needs to either get in line or convince Wilson to integrate his philosophy.

You think that is likely?

As I said in another thread or maybe up in this one, Wilson now feels mortality as many do when they get in their 30's, stuff hurts in the morning and you don't bounce as well.

Wilson seen what can be done, the cork has been pulled from the bottle, Pete shoved it back in midway thru the season and either would not let them adjust with short games and YAC routes over the middle or Wilson would not use them for fear of the repercussions if there was a turn over.

I think that success opened up Russells eyes some, the frustration is not getting a chance to build and adjust on that for whatever reason. It's not just Wilson it's the WR's and TE's also. we don't use them like we should in the passing attack or didn't last eyar until desperation.

I agree with you. Keep Wilson...get rid of Pete. But, doesn’t it seem that the writing on the wall says that if the Hawks are forced to chose between PC and Russ, Pete’s staying?

It’s frustrating. Infuriating to be honest. But, they have looked at shopping him before. Hell, I’m sure every team considers all potential trade scenarios. Even if they’re downright ludicrous.

We’re seeing statements being made that haven’t been made before. We’re hearing about teams inquiring about a RW trade. Unprecedented....smoke...fire....I’m worried.

Man...I’m on the edge of my seat here as I’m sure you all are as well. This could just be a lot of chatter but, it’s 100% drama for sure.

I’d shed some tears...literally shed tears.

1. The point I'm making is that saying the Seahawks don't invest in the position is wrong. They're not neglecting or ignoring it, which many people think is the case. It's a flawed argument.

2. The Brown trade was amazing for a legitimately elite left tackle.

3. Lewis is REALLY good, Pocic has been a net negative but is pretty average at center, Britt followed the same path as Pocic, Ifedi was not good but not bad by the end of his time here and played well for Chicago. I think they do draft talented guys, for the most part. They've just struggled at putting them at their best spots. With them moving Pocic to his natural spot and keeping Lewis at his natural spot, I'm encouraged that they've realized the error of their ways.

4. They also signed Shell, who played at an above average level. Simmons and Jones are good backups.

The offensive line did its job. They won pass blocks at a really impressive rate last year, and almost all of the ugly moments came after the ball was held for 3 seconds or backups were getting beat. The 2020 scheme asked a LOT of them. Their plates were overflowing.

With that being said... I'd like to see them acquire a real stud. Linsley, Thuney, or Scherff. If only to keep Russell happy. If the OL looks better this year, I'm almost certain it'll be due to Waldron's scheme making their job a lot easier.

Good to know that you won't be able to post objectively about football because of how you feel about the pop artist wife of a player.

It’s not just his wife, it’s the Hollywood crowd! Spent many years there it’s terrible! The people are sick pups! For sure those peeps bring drama into Russ’s life, they will scam him out of his $$, and they will definitely break his heart. I know many athletes whose career went down shortly after hanging with that crowd. Specifically Sierra & Russ Management CAA they’re bad bad news! I turned white as a ghost when I found out Russ was connected to CAA.

Your hatred for Conservatives is obvious assuming the worst in people you disagree with is the theme with about a half dozen on this site. Your so weak you can’t handle what you dish out & it gives you pleasure to pick on those who for whatever reason don’t fight back. Your assumption that those that won’t fight back are weak is misguided and your assumption your getting somewhere with me because I throw it right back in your face is also misguided. Almost everything I’ve stated on the site has a purpose & timing is everything. Keep it up your only making matters worse for yourself.
