See above. Your bias is setting precedence over the football decisions the team made.

Football teams don't cut players they want to keep over players they don't want. It's not a thing, ever. Ever.

There was a write up that Coleman was going to re-sign immediately and the IR swap was premeditated. Duke Williams was a fringe receiver that for some reason people have this big hard on for. He's a big target and he's slow and has decent hands. Great.

You gotta also realize that there's only a certain number of spots for each position as well. Every single year, players are cut because of depth. Even if a cut player is physically more talented than a player that stays. This is extremely common.

I really hope one the two receivers they drafted this year make this fanbase forget he exists.

You know what I remembered yesterday? We gave up a 3rd to hire Disco Dan

I wonder if that pick became anything. Too lazy to look

- jcragcrumple

William Lockwood was picked there

could have picked adam fox


that third, by gerbe logic was technically a late 2nd

seahawks are going to win all those super bowls

If you don't think the Seahawks can't win a superbowl you're crazy ..

Please tell me how they can't? ill wait

When you list the cowboys as favorites you show how much knowledge you have

Whenever we think about how bad Murray, Botterill or Darcy are, justr remember that Anaheim gave Vegas Shea Theodore, who's probably a top 15-20 D man, so they wouldn't take Sami Vatanen, who's now on his 3rd team in 2 years

Peter Chirelli has a Stanley cup ring.

I think even Garth could be a GM of an NHL team.

you said they will win super bowls


there is no lock the seahwaks will even be in a super bowl


again read what you type before you hit the submit button, and a lot of this petty s@it goes away


until then I have no problem calling you out


the good news on the off chance they win it all this year or next year, you actually get something right



of course if not, keep the hate coming at me, just like the guy from the middle east or illinois

you really should be a better poster this late in life

I think the position of GM is severely over rated in general.

Win lottery, draft elite talent, get lucky or draft well in the mid-rounds, hire a decent coach = profit.

Not a duke Williams fan?

Seems anti - buffalo Bill's.

Without the nhl farm system in the nfl, seems like a difficult sport to groom prospects.

I love his upside.

- Boss34


I hope this is a little tongue in cheek. I don't mind him, but, as the Bills have clearly demonstrated, he's a bubble player. He's fine, I don't mind him. I think he's going to have a hell of a time beating out Gabe Davis, who is billed as a better, faster version of Duke.

your first problem is your original post, you said the seahawks would win super bowls



now you are changing them to could


big difference


I would think with all the higher education you attempted, you could figure out the difference in the statement you made then, vs now

I 100% agree. I think anyone could really make moves at the professional level.

Amateur scouts have the toughest jobs in hockey.

Identify the young talent and develop that said talent.

I think goaltending really differentiates the good coaching from bad.

I think the goalie situation is everything

if Crawford was drafted by the sabres and the replacement in line for Miller, is he even in the league 5 years later instead of raising cups for the hawks?

Someone on twitter a while ago pointed out how almost all the Jack Adams winners got great goal tending. And most of those coaches ended up being fired within 2-3 years of winning

Which I don't believe he does, and which is why he remained benched. I'd put my money on Duke being cut from the 53.

I think Duke and Foster get cut/stashed on PS. I thunk McKenzie makes it as does G. Davis. Hodgins is the ??

Yep. Someone else could also step in for Roberts maybe, like Taiwan Jones. Otherwise I think you're right here.
