So, your title, "Many think Beane believes Allen should model his game after cam Newton ... but he hints it's actually Russell Wilson," has nothing in it of anything Beane actually said or implied.

MacGyver Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I think Allen should throw more, and complete a higher percentage of his passes and not worry about other QB's. 1

Orlando Buffalo Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 On 7/18/2019 at 10:59 PM, Mr. WEO said: Not lately. Seahawks haven't had a top 10 D (scoring or yards) for the past 2 years. In 2017, Wilson scored 37 of the team's 38 TDs (and STILL didn't win the MVP). Other than perhaps Brady and Rodgers, Wilson has the best vision in the game. He's very smart, freakishly athletic and has a big arm. That's the guy I want Allen to be. Not rock-head Cam Newton. Expand Wilson scored all but one of his teams TDs on a playoff team without an elite D and that was not enough to win MVP? that is crazy but shows how much seattle is just out of our everyday thought process. 2

Expand That was largely due to Allen not having a guy like Beasley in the slot. I think McKenzie showed flashes of being that guy but he was wildly inconsistent. What Allen needs is a guy like Bell, Kamara or McCaffery, a RB that can take a 1yd pass for 10 yards, last year that was impossible because our line was so bad that our backs would be taken down like a sack of potatoes. I think our line will be much improved, albeit not on a Dallas Cowboy level, but more along the lines of a mediocre, middle of the league, middling unit in the NFL, but enough as to where Allen has more time and options. I think if you combine our line upgrades, with slot upgrades and RB upgrades, we may see a completion % well above 60%. Don't forget that Allen had all offseason to stew on the playbook.

He can still be very successful. His success will hinge not on accurate, quick timed throws but rather on the big play, athletic ability, and intelligence. Rodgers would be the closest of those 3.

Dawkins is a guy who I feel will rebound, he had no help last year, I think he'll be just fine. Morse is our best center since Eric Wood, he is a mountain of a man. Ford is a guy whom id like to see at RG, he should be a good starter. That leaves two spots on that OL I'm unsure of, but I think mediocrity is our floor as far as the OL is concerned. Mahomes once again landed in a golden situation. He had a great year, no doubt. My point is, Mahomes would have been a middling QB in Buffalo.

I mean, people think our HC is good? Then why all the ancient RB's? We'll see, but IMO, OL is not something you fix in one off season and one training camp. Mosre scares me as injury prone.

Figster Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I realize the guy is just getting started , but Mahomes is a great example of a QB using his wheels to extend/make plays in the passing game IMO. I'm just saying...
