The Seahawks never had a good offensive line but Russell Wilson's mobility allows him to still be effective and avoid injuries. If anything, having a great offensive line around a mobile QB like Watson might be a poor use of resources, especially when so many other parts of the team need improving. We can probably get by without having an elite o-line. I'd rather have an elite defense over an elite o-line.
Wade Smith knows more about football than every local sports radio dude -- ex-NFL or not -- combined. He is one smart football guy, without all of the ego and schtick. I don't know why one of the big stations doesn't give him a show... 610, ya listening?
I know he said each injury is different and that is very much true, but all of the people I know who've torn one ACL recover faster from a tear of the other ACL. Familiarity with the process helps out a lot. They don't always come back to what they were, but most of them weren't world class athletes or generational talents to begin with so take that for what it's worth.
It wasn't the football gods who talked him all the way down to #12. It was the so-called experts. The same ones who are talking Allen, Rosen and Darnold up.
Essentially, he leads the league in TD% while having an obscenely low Int%. And while his Completion% is right at the league average, his QBR is right up there with the league's best as is his Yards/Attempt. So basically, he's really ****ing good.
It's the other way around on int%. It is "below average" meaning it was too high (he threw too many INTs)
