Thigpen won one NFL game in his career. Teddy went 22-12 with NO and Minnesota. Thiggy’s comp% was 12% lower than Bridgewater’s.

And the ‘08 Chiefs gave a ton of carries to Larry Johnson and Jamaal Charles. Yet the 2-14 Chiefs still had more receiving TDs than the ‘21 Broncos.

Get Thingy with it.

Say all you want about Smith-Schuster, but he had a great start to his career and set records. He was the youngest player in NFL history to reach 200 receptions. Youngest to reach 2,500 receiving yards. 8th-most receiving yards by the age of 23 in NFL history.

The last few years his QBs couldn’t get the ball downfield and he was in the most predictable offense in the league, with injuries. This will be the best situation he’s been in since 2018.

I didn’t make the comparison, I just was responding to someone else’s. Why would I bring up the 2008 Chiefs?

Also, both Bowe and Gonzalez had over 150 targets that year. No Bronco hit 100 targets last year. Every one of Jeudy, Albert O, Sutton, Hamler, and Hinton outperformed both Bowe and Gonzalez in yards per target.

Ok that’s great and all. But you realize you just gave a big bag to the quarterback who’s teams have historically passed the ball the smallest percentage in the league, right? Lockett had 107 targets and DK had 129.

Did you get hit in the ****ing head or something? Seems like you’re stuck on repeat.

Btw, in the lone 1000 yard season among your receiving crew, who were all the badasses that Sutton was teamed with?

Rookie “throwaway” Fant and his 562 yds?
Sanders’ 7 games and 367 yds? With no one else above 300.

By your logic, none of your receivers have accomplished anything noteworthy in their careers (which is basically true).

Imagine thinking that Veach's first draft defined him as a GM. That take must be very embarrassing at this point.

Certain people have an uncanny knack for being wrong.

Seahawks traded Russell Wilson bc he wasn’t performing when it mattered.

He barely beat Josh McCown. He lost to Teddy Bridgewater until the Vikings FG kicker missed a chip shot. He played terribly against the Rams. Didn’t okay well against GB or Dallas.

There’s a reason the Seahawks were sniffing around Mahomes and Allen. They didn’t think Wilson was good enough to carry the team in January. And since that’s true why pay huge money to him?

He’s a good QB. But he’s far closer to Kirk Cousins than he is Patrick Mahomes.

Oh ya just like his family invests in their employees

the dude is cheap as **** unless it's money in his pocket. He ain't buying shit.

Pasta Little Brioni · 09-03-2022, 10:54 AM

Seattle wanted Wilson dumped for our QB when he came out. He's since declined since then. Tells knowmo and company all they need to know

RunKC · 09-03-2022, 11:40 AM

Yup

*looks around to see if the coast is clear*

Russell Wilson hasn't won a playoff game where his opponent scored a touchdown since 2014.

Then why did they outright refuse to trade him last year? If they thought he wasn't good enough they would've honored his trade request last year.

They traded him because he and Pete didn't agree on offensive philosophy and they knew the relationship was never going to get any better.

Russell Wilson was the only thing keeping that franchise afloat the past three or four years and it will show in 2022. In seasons where Russ played every game, the Seahawks made the playoffs every single season but one. QB's in Cousins' tier don't do that.

The only reason Wilson isn’t 2-6 in the playoffs since the SB fiasco in 2014 is bc the Vikings kicker (great find Paton!) missed a 27 yard chip shot for the win.

He’s proven time and time again that he needs an elite defense to have any chance of winning in the playoffs.

But hey his 2 wins over Detroit and Josh McCown were sure great. Did I mention his defense gave up a combined 15 points in those 2 games?
