Lifelong Seahawks fan here. During that time he was younger and more mobile. He also had one of the best RBs in the league at the time. The Seahawks were one of the hardest teams to defend against because they had one of the most athletic QBs in the league, top tier RB, and a solid receiver core. Russ’s height wasn’t a huge disadvantage because they were running mostly an option offense, and Russ was great at reading defenses.
Russ has been slowing down lately and the Seahawks haven’t had a really good season in a few years. The Broncos traded a good portion of their future and a quarter billion in total cap space for an aging, undersized QB who worked well in a very specific offense at a time when he was in his prime.
When I first heard of the trade I was disappointed but not surprised. The writing has been on the wall for a couple years. When I saw what we got in return, I knew who got the better end of the deal. Im friends with a few Broncos fans and they kept giving me shit and making fun of (now probowler) Geno Smith. I kept telling them they’d have a losing season and wouldn’t make the playoffs, citing the above.
Who’s a bitch now, Brendan!

Insane. I can't imagine rowing through some big waves. Or a storm.

Man... This hit me hard... Life can be short and we don't know when it will end. I lost my grandpa to cancer, but I can't imagine losing someone in their 30s or lower to it.
I hope the family gets the counciling and help they need.

The name might not have been as big but the efficiency was for several of those years. 16-17 were rough for them, but Carson put up good numbers in 18-19. I think he was over 1,100 yards in both seasons. Not 2012 lynch numbers, but the Broncos haven't had a rusher break 1,100 yards in a season since McGahee in 2011. It's a completely different offensive package, and the way our front office operates, we need a gunslinger to even be competitive. Look at 2016 to now, even with the Super Bowl year, we have been abysmal on offense and rely on stellar D because we only know how to play offensive football if we have a top 5 quarterback.

That was certainly true when Marshawn was there, but he’s been gone since 2015 (aside from a brief cup of coffee return). Their RBs since then have been nowhere near that caliber. Wilson has a ton of issues this year, but it’s not just that he doesn’t have a top RB-he hasn’t for most of his prime.

And yet, the Watson trade isn’t even remotely close to Herschel Walker or Ricky Williams.

It's wild. Because I think if there's a system Young could succeed in it's Seattle.

Bill Fagerbakke played Dauber for goodness sakes. He knew *exactly* what he was saying.
(as in, he would have worked in the joke, not as in he knew how to say the word, obviously)
