2022 veteran QB options

For the "no one wants to come here"

@AllbrightNFL
Confirms Russ wouldn't waive no trade after offers from WAS and Philly....

The Eagles have 3 first round picks this year and had more ammo than we had. Shows that Seattle wasn't trading Russ to any NFC team.

We've been such a shit show for so long, it really is hard to not take the most jaded position possible. That's Snyder's legacy. He has turned the fan base into one of the most pessimistic (justifiably so imo) fan bases in the league.

So even when things are 100% out of the teams control, lots of us just assume the team fucked up yet again.

I get it, but it is tiring when people start spewing opinions as facts or just pulling things out of their assess. And I mean mostly people on Twitter that are just making sh*t up.

Also the local media, who are supposed to analyze things, are just b*tching and moaning like fans. I almost turned off JP Findlay's podcast today because of it.

Twitter is a plague upon mankind.

I've never been a sports radio guy, but I definitely see how that would be frustrating.

I'm actually glad we lost that trade based on what the Broncos gave up. Maybe it works out for them, but they gave up a lot.

Sounds like the team made a more than fair offer and it didn't work out. Losing out on Wilson wasn't the team messing up imo. But I could see why others might feel differently about this particular situation.

Side note, I may weep for real the day that John Keim decides to step away from covering the team.

He and Nicki Jhabvala are probably the two most unbiased reporters in the area.

I think JP Findlay has been hanging out with the Junkies too much, he's starting to go the way of Grant Paulsen/Chris Russell when covering the team.

John Keim is definitely the man. He's my favorite for sure. I think that's why he is still with ESPN, because he is so well received. If he writes something, I assume it's true. He's not a sensationalist.

Ben Standig is great too, though I'd rather read his stuff vs hearing him on a podcast.

Curiously inquiring...... What was JP Findlay saying? I thought at one point in time he was a good listen. Within the past season, he has been so so.

As far as Twitter..... It can be a good place for realtime news and even interesting dialogue. But far more times than not; it's a cesspool. A place where punks turn into obnoxious bullies. People directly targeting players, coaches, and whatnot. Spewing things they'd likely never say to anyone in person. It's sad. Unfortunately, welcome to today's society.

It wasn't necessarily JP, but Mitch (who I like) said something along the lines of "we have Heinecke who could be traded" in response to Denver trading Lock. They've been building up the potential disappointment of not getting Wilson, and I get that they are fans too, but they more or less dismissed the notion that Seattle wasn't trading Wilson to an NFC team.

There are reports from credible folks that Seattle was not going to trade Russ to an NFC team. And this is reinforced by the fact that Philly was in the hunt and they have 3 first rounders this year, even two of them is a better offer than what Denver offered in terms of picks.

Any reporter that keeps banging the "Russ didn't pick us" is just looking for clicks and rile up the fan base IMO.

I am starting to agree with you. Oh well, it is always something that foils us catching the big fish.

Had to stop listening to that podcast a while ago, back when the pandemic first hit and the audio quality was always so terrible, like JP was calling in from a 3rd world country on a flip phone. Their schtick is somewhat amusing, but their analysis doesn't offer much IMO. Likable guys but I just got tired of that pod.
