The Seattle Seahawks Starting Quarterback is Who?
We’re now just weeks away from OTAs and mini camps. While Baker Mayfield’s name keeps floating around, I don’t see him showing up at the VMAC anytime soon. So we find ourselves back at the beginning, asking the same question that began this article. What are Pete and John doing?? The answer is both sad and unsurprising.
In the past, I’ve written about how Carroll let his ego get the best of him when it came to the secondary. He’d bring in guys who fit certain physical traits and believed he could make them stars. Post Legion of Boom, it never worked. I have a sinking feeling he’s now brought that logic over to the most important position on the field.
Pete believes defense and 40 three-yard runs into the line of scrimmage a week will keep the Seattle Seahawks in games. He’s sure that he can easily overcome the loss of the best QB in franchise history with his scheme. We all know what pride precedes, and this year we’re going to just plunge into nothingness the way Ozzie Smith did at the Springfield mystery spot (look it up on YouTube).
There’s a chance I’m wrong. Maybe Carroll and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron devise a scheme that leads the team to an NFC West title. It’s not impossible, but possible is probably wrong.
If Drew Lock leads a Phoenix-like rebirth for the team, Pete should immediately be inducted into the Hall Of Fame as a coach. Unfortunately, the more likely scenario is 3-14 and playing the QB game again all over next year. Go Hawks!
