The steelers team of 05 was much closer to this team than the 05 hawks. And they also had the best oline is football. They also had one of the best qb coaches and offensive minds in holmgren.

And has was never expected to make the throws that Russ has to. It was a very strict west coast offense with mostly short throws. Carroll has a much more vertical scheme. Has wouldn't have the arm for that.
Yep, I was just gonna make that comparison. There's no way I'm making 05 Big Ben the highest paid QB in the league. Russ does what this system requires of him very well; buying time and going vertical. But there's just no way I'm breaking the bank for a QB on a team with an elite RB/running game. The only guys I'm giving those contracts to are guys who are earning it with their production. I would much rather pick up a Teddy Bridgewater in the draft and get a top WR in FA than pay Russ and have him try to do everything like in that NFCCG. Unless Russ shows that he can be that 35+ attempts per game guy, i'm telling him to get lost with this 21+ mil a year.

And russ is a big reason for that elite running game.

But look what Ben turned into. Brady had a similar situation early in his career.

You don't let franchise qbs walk. Teams like Cleveland have went through like 30 qbs in the last 10 years.

And you want to drop down to a average qb knowing they'll lose lynch in a year or two?

Yeah, and Ben and Brady both signed their first big contract extensions after they proved they can be the main man in their offenses. Russ is trying to do so before. Honestly, Russ is the perfect dude for these new incentive based QB contracts.

Y'all ain't Cleveland though. If the Browns had that D, and Marshawn, they'd be in the playoffs every year regardless of who was taking snaps under center.

I think the Seahawks would be better off with slightly worse QB play than paying Russ to be Drew Brees. If Alex Smith could have taken that team to the SB, why are you paying Peyton Manning to? And if y'all give Russ this contract, you better hope your drafting is much better than it has been the past 2 years cuz you're gonna need some home run rookies to sustain that offense. Russ with a wack pass pro OL, no RB and marginal wrs is no bueno.

Russell's agent is in his ear telling him some stupid shyt. :smh: We're going to pay him whatever he asks for and it will turn us from a dynasty into just a very good team.

shyt fukk that weak interception in the Super Bowl, he threw 4 int's in the game before and marshawn lynch had to save his ass. Now that I think about it he played poor in the Super Bowl too and marshawn lnych was the reason they were in a position to almost win. lynch and the LOB are the reason for that teams success and I think the front office knows it. You guys saw what happened to KAEP once that defense was gone :francis:

he going to get at least $27M and he deserves it. 2 SBs in your first three years at the helm is hard to argue with despite having Beast Mode and LOB.
