Crazy that right now on April 5th is the first time I've faced the reality that we are probably going to really stink this season. I'm still convinced Pete and John thought they had a shot at Watson. Pete's "2nd chances" presser felt like bracing us all for it. Then the Browns made him an offer he couldn't refuse and now we're left with a team with little depth and below average starters and no superstar qb to save us. I'd have picked another team to pull for if Watson was acquired, but I do truly believe that was the plan when they traded Russ.
NO-BS...IF Drew Lock can get his footwork under control (which IS also what Willis Must do to be a decent QB), he is likely to be a decent QB himself. The dude is quite athletic, with a strong arm who does not maintain his base consistently. Why draft the exact same issue in another QB? If Willis could be had Late in the 3rd, he STILL is not worth drafting because a foundational player can be had in This draft!
Pete was the ideal coach for Russell Wilson when Russell Wilson was willing to give all himself over to the coach. Those early years were PERFECT. When Wilson started to become something else after winning the Super Bowl, when it became about a "QB-first offense" instead of a "Run-first offense" then yeah, the relationship was all but dead. A day three QB who is a great leader and willing to give himself over to the run-first philosophy, that could unlock Pete's run game. But no less, Seattle will struggle to keep pace with the teams that have great QBs and better defenses.
