My big draft "what if" is what if the Patriots picked Rick Mirer at #1 and the Seahawks got home state boy Drew Bledsoe at #2. One more reason to hate the Patriots.
Thanks for taking the time to apply your analysis to our questions and comments. During the week, i'm just too busy to spend a lot of time reading about the seahawks. Were I to do so, I'd be giving up family time. During the week, you're my only source for seahawks intel. In fairness though your articles often take longer to read because of the depth and amount of analysis. Keep doing what you're doing and know that you're appreciated.
So I think the Seahawks also semi-demoted another starter…Riq Woolen. The analyst at All-22 (whom I LOVE) indicated Jobe and Woolen had swapped places and coverages…effectively making Woolen CB3. It was in the “Chaos” video linked the other day.
Was it the move many of us wanted, and we just didn’t see it?
Great writeup. Very much enjoyed the history lesson flowing into the jersey combos.
I'll take the draft what ifs question and spin it a little. I enjoy watching the careers of every QB some fans/media personality types said we should or wanted to draft since 2022:
Will Levis, Anthony Richardson, Spencer Rattler, Malik Willis, Hendon Hooker etc.
The list is too long to remember and name them all. But when I see these guys names pop up, I always say, "Dang, I remember reading some article about this QB or opinion that the Seahawks should draft this guy, or what were they thinking not drafting this guy, etc."
I like JS' strategy instead. Think finding QBs with experience and stigma to their names has been a competitive advantage.
I'm so glad I didn't spend countless hours writing about draft QBs from 2022-2025. Just couldn't see it happening with any of them. But if it did, like Milroe, great we'll get to him after the fact and it's confirmed the Seahawks actually drafted one.
Yes …I remember all those articles and you were right on the money. Very enjoyable to read.
Speaking Milroe/draft QB stuff … I would be interested to know what the difference is between prospect Milroe and prospect Anthony Richardson. I’m sure there’s some stuff but to me they seem so similar.
Stacked boxes… Unlike Grubb, who didn’t face stacked boxes and couldn’t commit to the run, Kubiak laughs in the face of stacked boxes, commits to the run, and somehow is able to come out with the W, so far. As you point out, continued success by Darnold will result in a lighter box and an eventual better success in the running game.
About Carolina’s wows you speak about - Can you believe they had the opportunity to sign Darnold and/or Mayfield and let them both walk? Ouch!
Maybe Bryce Young is taking the path of Darnold on the Jets or Mayfield on the Browns. Perhaps as much or more of these top QB busts has more to do with the teams and coaches as it does the QBs themselves. The Seahawks can take a stab at fixing Young after Darnold’s run ;)
Always wondered how Dan McGwire would have turned out if not for that pesky broken hip. He was the guy I'd use in Tecmo Bowl II.

Family takes precedence, Good going, Bret.

On another note, Emmanwori listed as a full participant today. We could be relatively healthy for Sunday’s big game between ex Carolina QBs.
That's beautiful news.

Should be another great game Sunday! Can't wait

So from a prospect standpoint what is the takeaway? What makes Richardson the better prospect? Younger?
Richardson started 13 games. Milroe started 2 full seasons, plus a game earlier.
The asshole in me comes up with nicknames I'm not proud of. For Anthony Bradford:
Tony Turnstile
The mascot for Frosted Flukes

As somone who was such a big fan of Bryce Young in 2023, I can't but think this man deserves his parole from Carolina.

Who and when will Blue Bayou Bradford be replaced?
Blue Bayou Bradford sounds like it would be the name of a very good player.
Or a Louisiana band
Blue Bayou refers to all the defensive players who blow by him un impeded to our back field.
