The Seattle Seahawks had a losing record for the first time in 10 seasons in 2021, but it looks as though they may have to take a further step back before they can start going forward again. After finishing either first or second in the NFC West for 9 straight years, winning the division 4 times, they dropped to 4th place last year with a 7-10 record — and that was when they had Russell Wilson at quarterback.
The Seahawks suffered one of the biggest offseason losses of any team in the league when their Pro Bowl quarterback was traded to the Broncos in March for a haul of players and draft picks, and another down year seems likely until they can use some of that draft capital to acquire what they hope will be their next great QB next April. Heading into the season with a choice of Geno Smith or Drew Lock certainly appears to place the Seahawks at the back of the pack for QB talent, and Seattle’s famous 12th-man fans may have to sit through a testing year until the good times can roll again.
