Seattle going to a SB after moving DK is not a good look

    Anyone familiar with DK knew he was a head case. He was hustling an established head case.

    We traded for a less talented WR with a big contract instead if gambling on a rookie contract who was also a head case.

    If Pickens was suspended for 2 games for punching a fan the city would’ve burned his house down.

    Our 21 year old Son is a BIG seachicken fan, has been since childhood

    Sp I've seen DK for years now he was as you saw this year, except Seattle didn't force ball to him as much as Steelers did last year as they typically had a much deeper wr room

    JSN is the man there n has been

    Our Son was NOT unhappy to see him.moved

    2026 All Pro WR George Pickens says WHAT!!!


    Here we go again with you and the George Pickens Crap. Right now, George Pickens is one of the best WRs in football, so how can you say that Colbert made a mistake in drafting Pickens? :facepalm:

    If Pickens is one of the best Wrs in the NFL, so is DK. Don't just look at one year. They are about even, except one will block, and one won't. Pickens averages a little more yards, but DK averages more tds.

    A second round draft choice that you have to get rid of before his contract runs out is a bust

    They could have gotten a good long term player

    The BIG difference is 24 year old George Pickens is only getting better, just about to hit his prime. 28 year old DK is beginning his decline.

    Right now I would take a 24 year old George Pickens over DK any day. In 2025 George had 1,429 yards, his best year in the NFL. While in 2025 DK only had 850 yards, his worst year in the NFL.

    Who do you think will be better in 2026? For me I believe, George Pickens will be this generations Randy Moss: Love him or hate him, he is the best of the best!

    I try to leave the FO decisions out of whether or not a player is a bust. I only look at what goes onto the field. Not every draft pick that is a good player that we don't sign long term is a bust. He was a highly productive player and still is.

    Replacing Geno was their biggest move.

    that isn’t the definition of a bust. Especially when our whole coaching staff was removed at the end of the season. If anything, our coaching on offense was a bust.

    It may not be the definition but it is an excellent example of a bust pick

    Coaching was not the problem GP was the problem

    But this has been hashed enough

    Like I said if You go by one year, which DK was suspended for two game, but if You go by their full career they are practically the same in everything, except one actually blocks, and one doesn't. You can argue this all You want, but the numbers are the numbers., and to guess what someone will do next year is just that, a guess.

    Good point. Having a good HC, good OC and DC made a huge difference. and they rolled the dice with the young guys and it worked.

    Most felt Pickens would have a good year but he will self destruct at some point and take some with him.
