Minshew at number one? That is some serious Coug delusion Jim! 🤣 I do agree that Howell deserves a shot. Everybody thinks that Darnold is a done deal, but I fear that the Hawks will be outbid for his services.

Wouldn’t mind Darnold but those last two games he had would make me shy away from him at his asking price. Thanks for reading, Jon.

Basically been my dream since 2018 that Minshew would be a Seahawk. As a Coug I just love the guy.

The O line is so bad that I would be willing to give Sam Howell a shot 1 million a year and build around him.

Hi John, yeah, even though Howell looked horrible against the Packers, seems like there’s a better player in there somewhere. Presuming that O-line will be dramatically improved through free agency and the draft though.

We hope. QB is honestly the most overrated position in sports. Championships are won from the inside out.

In all reality, we overate the QB position so damn much.

Mahomes is one example. He is overrated as hell.

How about giving a real Coug a shot? Jaren Hall knows the system now and just needs an opportunity.

Thanks JVB, just having fun with it, but then again, a good chance somebody from that list will be the starter next year.

There are plenty of crab legs Jameis can steal if he ends up in Seattle 🤣

He seemed like a head case back then, but I’ve grown to really like him and get a kick out of him too. A lot of talent there.

Fellow Wazzu alum ('91) here...I have been a shameless Minshew fan since he set foot in Pullman. In six seasons, the guy has thrown for almost 12,000 yards (with only playing in 9 games in two years in Philly), has thrown twice as many TDs as INTs (68 to 34), and has shown he can lead a team. The drawback is that he has often been with mediocre teams around him, and has ofter gotten the shaft due to reasons unrelated to his play. He is the kind of QB that would immediately get Seahawks fans excited, again.

Hi Rex, thanks for stopping by the site. Doubt there’s any shot in hell they sign him but as a cheaper option as a bridge QB, one can hope they will. Go Cougs Rex.

Hey Jim…Well, let the Sam Darnold Era begin, I guess.

And as a fellow Cougar journalist who has also been thrown out on his ass due to the stupidity of others, let me shamelessly ask you to subscribe and/or pimp out my own Substack, which I humorously call Why Daddy Drinks…Go Cougs!
