I bet Coby Bryant should be extended first. I feel they can sign him mid-season to a team friendly contract, lock him down for cheap. Then pay the big money to Boye Mafe but like you stated in past articles, Mafe could be expensive.
And Milroe; I’m just happy the hawks finally took a high risk high reward pick for a future Lamar Jackson or maybe more like Tim Tebow..
Milroe's mechanical fundamentals are so bad it will take at least 2 years to fix. It's not easy to relearn muscle memory. Until that happens, he will be used in Wildcat plays in short or goal line situations.
The most likely QB in 2028 is Milroe, but I do see him as more of a long shot. That said, I can see Milroe's skill set being more valuable in 2028 than Darnold. In a copycat league, the run game is beginning to come back around ofenses get more creative in trying to manipulate safety formations and I see a Jalen Hurts' skillset being more attractive in the near future. The magic is in if Milroe can become a "Hurts-esque" or do we end up with Seneca Wallace-esque.
How come something belonging to her is hers, but something belonging to him is his? Shouldn't it be hims? Some online prescription service company was able to figure this out, apparently.
That movie looks ambitious! It's either going to be awesome or unwatchable.
Re Woolen’s interceptions, Richard Sherman had 20 in the first 48 games of his career and 17 in the next 96 games. Woolen may never have another six INT season for the same reason as Sherman: QBs stop trying to pick on him and the opportunities simply aren’t there.
I figure that while Milroe has a higher ceiling than Darnold, he is much less likely to reach it. Darnold has a much greater chance than Milroe of being the starting QB four years from now. That Mirer, Kitna etc didn’t make four years is beside the point since there’s not a “someone else” option.
The starter question didn't specify "for the Seahawks", either. Since teams will try and get anyone who has had any bit of success in the league, Darnold could move on to another team willing to pay him more based on his success in MIN (like we did) or his future Seattle success pretty easily.
Completely off-subject but I just saw an article on Seattle's schedule and It wouldn't be out of the question to go 6-2 at home and 5-4 on the road, so 11-6. Could even do 6-3 on the road and get to 12-5. 10-7 feels like a reasonable floor actually. So I'm not landing where the analysts seem to be landing (Seattle a Top 15 pick in 2026 draft).
I would love for them to get back to dominating at home. That feels like the thing that is left for them to do to get back to the playoffs. If you can't dominate at home, I'm not sure you'd do anything in the playoffs if you managed to get there.
Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings.
Houston not such a big bad wolf I don’t think, especially having let Tunsil get away on an already porous OL. Think our DL gives them hell.
Indy and NO are lower tier, trap games of course.
Tampa is a threat but I’m not bought in on them yet. Winning the South doesn’t mean good, just means you get their designated playoffs spot. This division could have an 8-9 winner.
Vikings w new QB who has yet to take an NFL snap. These are the QB’s we have to trust MacDonald to confuse (a lot).
So to me the biggest challenges are in our own division, could lose two of those.
It's so difficult to predict year to year. Agree that the Rams will be a problem, as they always are. Probably the Niners too, but there are some question marks with them. They are all winnable for sure. If the Seahawks offense is even average, and better situationally (which they were not last year) we should be in every game if the defense picks up where they left off last year.
Being an optimist, I don't see the world with an either/or perspective because I often want to say, "both" or "neither", whichever is optimistic. So until further notice, the Hawks got the top 11 players in the whole draft, and they will all become all pro at their position.
Yikes. That movie clip takes football into uncharted territory. Scares me and I'm fearless. Let's remember this a is a Game, folks. I'm certain Mr. Milroe's Father, as a retired Marine, will keep him grounded. Be all you can be. No WooWoo needed.
The JSN Walker question was the hardest for me because I could see both getting 1500 yards. Quick question was there a letter May 6th? I did not get one and was honestly worried that something bad had happened. So, I was relieved to see one today but there was no mention of yesterday which made me think that I just missed it. Not complaining I mean everyone deserves a day off every 6 or 7 years. Just was concerned.
Thank you. I checked spam and everything so just weird. I truly was concerned because I've been a subscriber for a while, and I mean he posted on his honeymoon and when L.A. was on fire so. I must have checked my mail 15 times so I should probably get a life. I should have known it was computer error cause when the following day's letter came out, he did not mention it. Which I suppose he would if something so serious happened. Again thank you.
I picked JSN, only because I felt he was more likely to get enough opportunities than K9 is. It feels like the carries will be split up among the RB's enough, getting that amount of yardage will be difficult, unless he's amazing early, and they just decide to feed him, and Charbs and the others get their carries pulled back. And, K9 feels like a bigger injury risk than JSN, although either could get injured.
I have looked at the stats and a QB not picked in the 1st round has a far less likelihood to develop into a starter. I believe the starter in 27 and beyond has yet to be drafted. So Dam it is.
Add to that Sam has shown he can be successful in the league already, Jalen has not. Nothing guarantees he'll continue to be successful of course, but hopefully he'll build on where he left of last year. We'll see.
I answered that question with the caveat. SD until ‘26 then give a flyer on JM for a year…as we develop the long term answer…that being said I see a window in 26-28 so if SD balls out we keep balling…otherwise we take a leap for a year to see if JM will sink or swim into that window. We then trade the farm and future for the QB in that window if SD or JM don’t work out.

My gut feeling is that movie will not be my jam...

That is the kind of thing native speakers take for granted, but drives foreigners learning English crazy.
Immensely disappointed to see this wasn't a reference to the 00s Finnish emo band HIM but I will accept quality Seahawks content instead
I love a survey, and this one had me flip flopping on a few of these!
Looking forward to the results article!
Happy birthday and go Hawks.

Unless he gets injured, Sam Darnold will be starting for someone in four years. QBing a team with a 14-3 record pretty much assures that.

Loved that last one. Definitely seeing Coby first up.

Thanks Ken! Nice easy survey with no wrong answers. Today’s my birthday and this was a treat for me.
Happy Birthday! Ken wrote an article on my birthday too!
Yes, even someone born on Leap Year day is part of that club!
Happy B-day AggieHawk!
As long as you picked the correct answers, Happy Birthday:-)
