Some of those fools recently brushed off signing RW to big money as being OK because they'd "only lose Hauschka, Kearse, Irvin, Okung, et al types of players as a result".  Bwahaha!!!  Those are EXACTLY the players/types of players that've been the difference vs us.  Hauschka with a 58 yard bomb after we'd controlled the game, Kearse with a game winner in 13 and great/lucky/fluke one hander in the playoffs (the only TD Bene gave up all year), Irvin with multiple sacks and a unique skillset to pester Cam, etc.  and what if we have Okung instead of Bell last year?  We probably win even last year with one arm behind our back, nevermind the goody-goodness GMan has cooked up since.  

Their FO is screwed either way.  And I love it.

If he is going to be a dick I wouldn't even franchise him.  Or at least not twice.  He is good, I have always stuck up for him.  But he ain't that damn good (25 mill then 30 mill on tags).  If he doesn't make a commitment to you it is time to search for alternatives.  Keep that defense together and they will still be playoff caliber no matter what.

Glad we got our guy locked up at a reasonable price (as far as QB contracts go)

They sound just trade him for a ransom. He isn't that great and they can keep their star studded team intact and add even more talent. The Golden Calf of Bristol can hand the ball to Lynch and cheer on their defense.

Its funny cause, Seattle only needed a QB who didnt completly poo the bed and throw boneheaded picks to be 2x Superbowl Champions. 

 

They would have throttled the Packers with even a very mediocre QB performance. 

You don't really believe that right? Like seriously? You're just basking in the Russell Wilson hate, you know, the kind that reminds me of when a friend gets a nicer car and you make fun of him because he doesn't get good gas mileage.

Lol I liked this quote

It's not that Wilson wants to hit free agency, according to a source who has spoken with him. It's that he wants to be paid as if he did. Meanwhile, thoughts of a fully guaranteed contract have not left his mind, especially with an agent who regularly negotiates such deals with baseball players.

So, Wilson doesn't want to leave the Hawks... he just wants "free agent type money" AKA Raider type money, all the while he still gets to stay on by far the best team in football.

This dude is a straight up clown.  Can't have your cake and eat it too, Russ.

How can this be? According to many  NFL medias narratives. Cam was supposed to be the selfish, pouting, immature QB, and Wilson the selfless, mature team player. I'm confused.

14/29, 209 yards, 1 TD and 4 INT. Alex Smith could have won that game against the Packers.

I really don't like the precedent this little fuger is trying to set either.  Sure, it's funny to laugh at the Hawks for now, but this baseball type negotiation bullshit needs to stay in baseball.

I say laugh away.  We got our man until 2020, and our cornerstone guys in Luke and Cam have "football" agents.  So did Russ, until he went rogue all by his lonesome. 

The league lead by owners like JR aren't going to allow it to become baseball.  No worries mate.

why is my post wrong? Did you watch the NFCCG and the superbowl? He was abysmal. Not saying he is a below average QB, but he sure did play like one in those two games.  

 

Seattle doesnt need a great QB to win games, just a QB that doesnt throw picks and ruin it for them, which he almost did vs the Pack. Still blows my mind how that they still won despite a 4 int game from Russell

 

if they were smart they would trade him for multiple first round picks and make that team even stronger. That team doesn't need much from the QB position to be great. The NFCCG and the superbowl backs that up. Take the ball out of the QBs hand and pit it in the RBs and they are repeat champs.

He's right.  RW may have had a great start to his career but he was horrid in that game among others.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
