Not against it for 1 year. Jimmy G is not very good, but he's not terrible and seems like a great team player. Also, 2021 Wilson didn't look that much better than him...

It would be worth it for Jimmy G to beat the 9ers twice a year, again.

Another well reasoned good read. I would be fine with Jimmy G if he won the competition to start over Drew Lock. One thing lost on many is Carroll wants a mobile quarterback. To quote the Rolling Stones " You can't always get what you want." Jimmy would be good but I suggest we are two real runningbacks short, with Carson still on the team. Travis Homer is a good player but not a 150 carry back. DJ Dallas is a good kick returner and teams player but not a great runninback. Victoria Chris

I'm curious. Do the number of comments increase exponentially in relation to the distaste of the subject matter? So...is Jimmy G > than Goff? I'm beginning to think we just roll with Drew Lock and see where we are. There just doesn't seem to any right choices out there to make. We're going to pay for whatever we do from here on out.

What? First Goff and now Garoppolo! I don't care if it makes sense or if we'd win 7 games instead of 4 with one of these guys over Lock, Siemian, Wolford, late-round-rookie, etc. I just can't make myself root for a mediocre (at best) QB that I've spent the last several years hoping would fail. It's too much for my brain to handle. Take all your sound logic and reasoning, throw it in the dumpster, and pull me out a garbage QB I can get behind.

I'm struggling to understand the connection between Fantasy Football and the Seahawks trading for Matt Ryan.

For reference, depending on league scoring settings, Matt Ryan finished roughly 19th among QBs last year, rendering him irrelevant in most leagues.

BTW -- Jimmy G. had a better year fantasy year, finish roughly 16th among QBs.

OK, I'll buy into this. He brings most of what I commented on yesterday. It would be nice if he could run a bit better but he certainly would have the experience to mentor next year and is a capable backup

Makes sense, but a show-me contract of less $ + incentives would help the Hawks. Still like Lock for now.

I'd be ok with this if:

1. The salary doesn't require the kinds of decisions that cut into future cap space;

2. We pay (and lose) no draft picks; and

3. Lock gets a fair chance to compete and win the starting job. We've sometimes seen Pete give the nod to a veteran simply because what to expect was more predictable even though the ceiling was lower.

Jimmy's not a horrible QB. Merely mediocre.

A bit off topic, and a topic I know nothing about. We need a new kicker. Meyers time, just like Sea Bass, is up. How does the 2022 K draft crop look? Are there any respectable FA Ks floating around the NFL (I ask this since nobody ever seems to talk about kickers. A posistion that is counted on to CONSISTENTLY and RELIABLY score points). The last thing we would need is to bring in another Blair Walsh. Thus, I ask about the draft for kickers. Any comments that could share some light on my limited knowledge base on this subject?

Ken, I want to hate you but instead I love you for this take. Jimmy G and Pete Carroll are a match made in purgatory.
