2010 Super Bowl team - half gone

Times are changing are the seachicks are a now example of old cliches.

BTW the seachickens have a young roster with some people saying the chickens could have rookie of the year on both sides of the ball.

Old cliches and mindsets are being disproven.

Like I and others have said, your proof is one team making the playoffs; you ignore everything else including the more successful teams. You believe you are correct and that is fine. You just don't have much more than your belief to back up your claims.

What is being ignored about the seachickens?

No beliefs -- are the seachickens winning playoff games?

What is being ignored about the seachickens?

You're ignoring the other 31 teams in the league.

Do the other 31 teams have a TT protege running their front office?

Did the other 31 teams win a playoff game this season?

Is your goal to win the north or beat the niners?

What Carroll did to SC by getting them on probation has zero relevance what we are talking about.

I'm really on the fence with him. While the state he left the Trojans in does not affect his NFL team, it speaks an awful lot to character. The captain left the sinking ship instead of trying to right it. I brought it up to go along with the new heightened expectations there will be for the Seahawks this year. How does he react to any harsh criticism that comes his way?
He's obviously doing better in the NFL than another college superstar coach, Steve Spurrier, did. Will he continue to do so? No crystal ball here...and the same question has to be there about the newest superstar recruit, Chip Kelly.

I am rooting for Kelly. Already signaled he is not going to run a pure oregon offense with the hiring of a nfl offensive coordinator.

SS was arrogant nad though he could run his fun gun stuff in the nfl. Plus he was not a grinder and was trying to prove you do not have to put in the time to be successful in the NFL.

Kelly is a grinder and hopefully successful.

Maybe TT sees how to utilize Cobb in spread option just like how he studied Sproles.

Yes, the jury is still out on Carroll but he is on-track for big success with Schneider at his side.

Relevant because?

Did the other 31 teams win a playoff game this season?

Several of them did without doing what you suggest to their rosters.

Is your goal to win the north or beat the niners?

My current goal is to work of the winter beer gut from the past season. I don't play football anymore.

You figure it out.

Several of them did without doing what you suggest to their rosters.

Which ones?

My current goal is to work of the winter beer gut from the past season. I don't play football anymore.

Your ignorance answered the question -- mahalo braddah.

[sharpe1027]

Which ones?

San Fran and Baltimore to begin with.

San Fran and Baltimore to begin with.

How much turnover did they have?

What was state of their rosters at the end of last year?

Why can the Seachickens beat the niners and not the Packers?

[denverYooper]

Maybe the Packers should hire John Frum in their front office and put him in charge of player personnel.

Maybe. Problem is TT has final say and is too conservative in free agency. Street free agents are most likely only band-aids (okay for the anal retentive rats there are exceptions of course).

By no ways am I advocating MM have the final say like Caroll.

[sharpe1027]

How much turnover did they have?

Both have starting lineups that are pretty close to last year's starting 22.

What was state of their rosters at the end of last year?

Neither did better last year than the Packers did this year. Yet, they made the Superbowl without major overhauls.

Why can the Seachickens beat the niners and not the Packers?

The Seachickens could beat either team. They could also lose to either team.

Does Caroll have final say? IMO that is always a big mistake, and pushes me far towards the opinion that he will not have long term success. I don't think it's possible to hold those two jobs in the NFL. Two problems - there is too much involved, causing burnout, and the tendency of coaches to hold on to players too long after they've fallen off, because of what they've done in the past.

Our own two examples, Sherman here and Holmgren after he left, demonstrate how bad it can go with that model. Seperation of church and the state is paramount!
