No they are not. When you have two QBs you have no QBs. I watched Lock in Denver and wanted him to get it. He has talent. But zero awareness and not sure he will ever take an NFL offense by the reigns. The sack fumble was classic drew. Great game then mental lapse at the worst time leads to a critical TO/loss. The margin of error is so small in the NFL, QBs that inconsistent will never win more than they lose. And Geno just sucks. They will tank this year and get one of the QBs in the draft next year. Denver is going to roll them up week 1.
My bad if I misunderstood you I thought you were saying they were in great shape this year. I liked their draft they seemed to have put some nice pieces in place for the future. Might be similar to the first rebuild if they can strike gold w a QB next year like they did with Russ before. Nice thing about a QB on a rookie deal is you have 4 years of an extra 40-50 million in cap space to fill the holes you need to fill. They have the draft capital and should be high enough on the board to get who they want.
I’ve said this before, the Russ trade and players that come from those picks should be make or break for Schneider. His track record has been crap the last 5 years or so, he’s in the bottom third of GMs right now IMO. You can only hang your hat on the LOB for so long, that was ages ago in NFL years. If he nailed this draft and finds the QB they need and hits well on other picks he has extended life. If its another mediocre set the Hawks need to move on.
I mean they may do it together but ultimately Schneider is responsible for the roster. If he’s letting Pete F it up it’s his fault for keeping Pete around. I’ve thought Schneider’s gotten too much of a pass for a while now. Last shot for me if I’m Seattle ownership.
In todays NFL this is the way to do it. I’m not sure the chiefs make it back with Mahomes $50+
Allows you to pick up Gardner Minshew for a late round pick and pennies on the dollar and make a (really fun) super bowl run.
Both Denver and Seattle should have gone after him. He’s way better than Bridgewater, Lock, and Geno.
Yep AD is soft (IMO). Abe will have a very good career with some all pro seasons mixed in.
From what I’ve read you're talking about the old AD - apparently he’s not the same guy anymore. Once he clears his rookie contract and gets out from behind the massive shadow of Jordan Mailata he should be a sought out free agent next year.

Apparently they do - his rookie year he couldn’t handle being bull rushed. Since then he has put on 25+ pounds of muscle and seems way more confident. He’s going to cash in somewhere, just not in Philly.
Good to see he has gained some muscle and is more aggressive.From what I’ve read you're talking about the old AD - apparently he’s not the same guy anymore.

Maybe it's best to tank, go 3 wins and get the first pick in the draft. History of QB's going #1 in the draft is pretty good. Also take a QB who's fallen to the 4th round from projected late 2nd or 3rd round. BTW- anyone know of any evaluators who have been accurate ranking all these 1st round QB's over the last 10 years? For those old enough to remember. From a 1979' draft article- Gil Brandt predicted Joe Montana as the most underrated QB in the draft. Thompson the sure thing and who is this Phil Simms Guy?
This article has Cam at #5 and CJ going first and Seattle picking the Bama guy at 3rd.

Agreed on Schneider.
You’re probably right. Not sure it’s ever the plan to “tank” but if you’re going to do it having Drew Lock or Geno smith as your QB with several rookies looking at significant PT that’s how you do it. While I think John/Pete have had some down years they are also well aware that their draft capital from the Russ Trade gets better as losses pile up. And it’s widely known the oncoming QB class should be one of the better ones in a while. They’ll probably be a bottom 5 team in the league this year, but they have enough talent to surprise a couple of teams too.
I'd be more confidant with Minshew vs. Huntley and then a high first round QB with a 4th rounder thrown into the mix.
Agree with you 100 percent on GM and how the announcers view him.
He did have that situation and his talent was obvious, but no one could lower themselves to admit that they might have missed on him. His numbers were better than 60% of the league's other qb when he was starting in Jax, and that was AFTER they gutted the team of any talent around him.
It’s truly bizarre. My Broncos got Dick punched at home by him a couple of years ago when he played lights out in a comeback win against a really good Broncos D. Yet when they go back to the well for QBs they trade for 2 yard Teddy instead of a 6th rounder for GM after they watched him carve them up. There are some GMs in the NFL that don’t know their asses from their elbows.
