Game Thread: Seahawks at Steelers. 4:00/7:00 Saturday King 5/NFL Network

A Lil early I know but amped for this.

 

[Screamin12th]

little early? lol A lot early.

I'm going to be watching Geno and his progression HEAVY in this game. I am really shocked about all the talking heads saying " Pete might be gun shy to make Lock the starter because of his turn over problems" .... WTF! Uhm please, Geno averaged a 4% INT rate his first 2 years and Drew is 2.8%

I'm pulling for Lock... We all know what we have in Geno and it's a recipe for disaster...

 

[Screamin12th]

I myself I just want respectable play at QB, not super star or even good just respectable. We know who and what Geno is and he is not even close to a answer so just let the 25 year old Lock go out and grow. I can respect that, Starting Geno ... I can not respect that at all.

 

[MrS]

I think its gonna be a 1st round qb in next years draft, but at least lock has some upside. If they go with genoa, they are tanking.

100% agreed... Geno is a career back up for a reason - that is a known commodity... Let's see what Lock can do... What if for some reason it starts clicking and he plays well for us... That's a risk i'm willing to take...

Hey........................

I've been waiting since April for this.............

I think most of us are pulling for Lock to be the starter. At least there is some upside with him, Geno isn't getting any better then what we have seen. No doubt the Seahawks draft a QB next season to be the franchise QB, hopefully it works out.

Lets see the QB's picked in the top 15 ( 1-15 ) the past few drafts. Just to get a feel for the hit and miss.

2021
Lawrence, Wilson, Lance, Fields, Jones
2020
Burrow, Tagovailoa, Herbert
2019
Murray, Jones, Haskin
2018
Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Rosen
2017
Trubisky, Mahomes, Watson
2016
Goff, Wentz
2015
Winston, Mariota
2014
Bortles

I went top 15 because after that the misses really start to pile up. Still when looking at this list you just see that you have to get lucky even in the top 15 of the first round. If you want 2022 there was no QB drafted in the top 15.

I have always believed that a lot of these rookie QBs fail because they go to bad teams with poor coaches. Still plenty of luck involved.

Truthfully our QBs suck and that's fine. Just want to see our rookies and other young players develop and next year draft the QBoF.

Guess who's back (on the IL)
Back again (on the IL)
Penny's back (on the IL)
Has thin skin

Exactly, it’s about the potential unknown as compared to knowing exactly what you got with Geno, which we know isn’t much.. Lock all day, and if Lock doesn’t start showing improvements as the season rolls on, you address the issue next draft..

LoL it’s hopeless … I’m surprised we didn’t just let him go, the guy just can’t stay on the field ..

I said resigning him would be a mistake, early signs pointing at me being correcf.

 

[SteelersPride]

Is anyone in the seattle media or fanbase truly pulling for geno?

 

[uwdawgfan]

From what I've heard the dude never comes in to camp in shape.....so of course hes injury prone. Another in the long list of mistakes made by Pete and John. Looking forward to Walker being the starter.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

You hate to hear news about Penny and health problems , but seems pretty minor and really no need to play a veteran RB early preseason. In any case there will be a lot of RBs that can be had for cheap once roster cuts happen and Walker will be getting acquainted with the NFL and the Seahawks play book so that's a plus ( unless he gets injured).

None that I know of... We all know what we have in Geno - journeyman, backup QB in the NFL... Lock is the one people are pulling for because at least there could be a sign of hope with him since he's still fairly young...

Yeah, that was obviously my thoughts as well. I was never a Drew Lock believer, but theres obviously alot more upside there, he also has some pretty good tools to work with.
