AFlaccoSeagulls Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Here I'll fix the Seahawks: Bring back Kam, Avril, and Sherman from IR. There. Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 From another thread: The Seahawks need to make some changes and upgrade at certain positions, but it's way too early to say their window is completely closed. The first order of business needs to be to fire Darrell Bevel. Next to go should be Tom Cable. A fresh offensively philosophy would do wonders for this team. Next, the Seahawks need to upgrade at certain positions - Interior offensive line, running back and I feel like they could use a big receiver. Defensively, the team lost a lot with injuries to Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman and Cliff Avril. Obviously, the question is... Can those guys actually come back and play at a high level? That remains to be seen. There is enough talent and experience on the defensive side of the football for that unit to be really good. The offense needs to be upgraded via the draft/FA and if that can happen, I don't see why the Seahawks couldn't be a contender again. I've said this earlier in the year, the Seahawks would probably have two to three wins if it weren't for Russell Wilson's brilliance. Just upgrade some of the pieces around him in the off-season and get the defense healthy - Seattle will be back in the thick of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Wilson is being severely overrated this season based on bulk stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Trade Russel to the Browns for all their picks in round 1 and 2 and next years 1st Work in Barkley, Chubb, Mayfield, Brown in first 4 picks.... profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crickett Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 There is no fixing the Seahawks. Their offensive line is a mess. But their offensive line has been a mess for years and nothing they have been doing has helped fix it. They've drafted offensive linemen in the first two rounds three of the last four years. Still terrible. They've had 60% turnover from last year in their starting offensive line. Still terrible. They've finally acquired that left tackle they've lacked since Russell Okung left. Still terrible. There is no fixing that problem. At some point you have to look at that and think maybe the problem is the team, not the talent. They built their secondary on lucky late round picks and Earl Thomas. Their luck has run out. Shaq Griffin, Delano Hill and Tedric Thompson are not Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas and they never will be. They've used five day two picks in four years (including 2018 and we haven't even arrived in 2018 yet) just to attempt to maintain their defensive line. They've used day two picks on wide receivers three out of the last four years. Their receiver corps is still not particularly good and the guy they just unloaded (thought by some to be the worst of the bunch, Jermaine Kearse) is having a career year with the New York freakin' Jets. At some point, you have to look at that and think maybe the problem is the team, not the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he's been severely disrespected his entire career doesn't mean he's now overrated because he's doing exactly what people thought he couldn't do when he had a run game. It used to be "oh well he doesn't have the bulk passing stats and when he loses his elite defense and run game he won't produce". Now this year happens and somehow he's still not a top 5 QB? Who are the 5 QB's better than him, not named Brady, (maybe) Brees, and Rodgers? The only other guys that have a case are one-year flash in the pan guys like Wentz or Watson. It certainly isn't Luck, Carr, Roethlisberger, Ryan, or anyone else in that tier. Wilson has separated himself clearly from a lot of guys who usually are considered near him.

JMG5 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Let Graham and Richardson walk. Invest in OLine and another CB. Try to make a trade for a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
