Re: Memo to Buddy!
But but but Buddy was good at drafting! Or at least that's what people on this site keep trying to tell me. After all, we did have a 6-10 season after 4 Buddy Nix drafts....

Re: Memo to Buddy!
LOL....30 other teams passed on Wilson also, most twice. The bigger impact players for the SeaHawks were actually drafted later than that anyway, and everybody passed on them also.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Memo to Buddy!
I don't know if I'll ever get over that specific blunder. I understand the mitigating circumstances that led to it, but I liked Russell Wilson when he was with NC St, let alone Wisconsin.
I mean....Fitz had just signed an extension. There was legitimate hope that he could put it together. For him to do so we needed speed at the WR position. On paper, the TJ Graham pick made some amount of sense. But I wanted Wilson, and it hurts how incredible he could have been for us.

Oh and running QBs are where it's at. How many times did Wilson run? How many were designed "Read Options"?

I don't think this game was a teaching moment other than the importance of an overall good defence.
Drafting a QB high every year, as some suggest, takes away from the overall development of the team.

It does not matter what else you have if you don't have a QB.

Oh and the Bills weren't irrelevant even with the rookie. They were in almost every game they played.

I disagree with you that we were relevant. Yes we were in games and lost a bunch of close ones but we were never in the conversation for playoffs and definitely never in the conversation for the Superbowl. If we had a competent QB who could stay healthy this is easily a playoff caliber team. I'd like to believe that next year EJ will take the next step, but I really believe this team is good enough to make the playoffs with a good QB. That is the most important thing for this team right now and therefore there should be a viable plan B.
