    SI article on Josh Rosen and him being traded

    What I don't really understand -- but I hope the media somehow uncovers -- is why they didn't put Rosen on the market earlier. Based on everything they've said, it doesn't appear that they were looking to trade out of No. 1, and they could have and should have recognized much earlier that that...

    Game 11 (AZ 3 SEA 19) Thoughts

    Some Issues with Your Post "BA has been sticking to a formula of keeping the score close for three quarters and finding a way to win games in the 4th quarter, almost to perfection for the first 10 weeks." Are you saying that BA is keeping the offense conservative to avoid turnovers to keep...

    Cards v. Panthers 2009/Broncos v. Seahawks 2014

    I don't know about anyone else, but as this SB game started, I couldn't help but draw parallels with our playoff game against the Panthers. I'm not sure I should blame John Fox, but in both games, he was completely outcoached. Both times his players looked shellshocked and could not recover...

    Thank you Wiz

    Thanks Whiz I personally think that the coaching change is a mistake (though I know I'm in the minority). I very much wanted us to develop the long-term Steelers coaching philosophy. The Steelers endured some down years with Cowher, only to be rewarded with some great years thereafter...

    QB options since Warner

    I don't disagree with you, but he does not have the arm strength to make all NFL-required throws. Most QBs can throw a long rainbow pass, and even Leinart can. But he can't throw a deep in route (like the one he almost got Fitz killed on) or a deep out route.

    Fitz has spoken

    A 7-6 loss against the Jets is no different in the loss column than 58-0 by the Seahawks. The only question is whether this game was an anomaly. I think it was. I keep thinking about the debacle in 2008 when we lost to the Jets, and we rebounded right away. Obviously there is much less at...

    QB options since Warner

    How can you compare Andrew Luck with Matt Leinart? Leinart literally can't throw the ball other than touch passes and checkdowns. Don't you remember the preseason game where he almost got Fitz killed? If Leinart were such an awesome talent, he would be starting elsewhere in the NFL by now...

    QB options since Warner

    I don't know, but as soon as we lost the Falcons game, I wanted the team to focus on player development and scheme. I don't care about wins and losses so much as preparing for the next year and getting the best possible draft position. It's painful, but if you aren't playing for the playoffs...

    QB options since Warner

    Good take.

    QB options since Warner

    This is so true 2010 was a bust. Leinart had to go for a variety of reasons. Kolb was the consensus best bet for 2011 just as you have argued. The only argument against him was the amount of compensation we gave up. 2011 obviously didn't pan out. So we went for Peyton. Clearly also the...

    Seahawks 58 Cardinals 0: Post Game Thoughts

    I'm not pining my hopes on Lindley. I just don't think that you can judge a QB on his rookie season. Kurt Warner refused to go into a Packers scrimmage because he didn't know the playbook well enough, which put him in the Arena Football League, etc. I will tell you this though: I would take...

    Seahawks 58 Cardinals 0: Post Game Thoughts

    The QB and the receiver have to make the same sight adjustment. Two very simple examples of this are (i) on a cover 2 zone, you never run an out pattern because the CB is rolled up and (ii) also in a zone, on underneath crossing patterns, the receiver must settle down the pattern in the soft...

    Seahawks 58 Cardinals 0: Post Game Thoughts

    Lindley has all the talent in the world, and he can make every throw in the playbook. The first quarter against the Rams taught us that. But that does not an NFL quarterback make. He can't make the pre-snap reads/adjustments yet, and his decisionmaking is too slow, then he gets flustered...

    Seahawks 58 Cardinals 0: Post Game Thoughts

    Good Point I have faulted Grimm for much our troubles. But our improved tackle play is actually a reason for hope next year. When Levi's back, there will be depth and/or a trade opportunity to improve another position.

    Seahawks 58 Cardinals 0: Post Game Thoughts

    With all due respect John Skelton is not a starting NFL quarterback, and he will have the same position in the NFL next year as Max Hall does this year. Ryan Lindley may be an NFL QB some day, but he's still not prepared mentally. I give Skelton all of the credit in the world for having the...
