@ANC_Historian really loved this week's article. (and i've always spelled it as one word, no space, no hyphen. just seemed right, being a noun and all.)
@hawkblogger I'm ecstatic about Bobo, as well as JSN. Still wondering if there's another development in store for the WR room that would put all these signings into perspective, such as a Cooper Kupp retirement announcement. (I have not heard anything, but doesn't seem far-fetched.)
@GameWithinGame@AlbertBreer True, but tell me: How did Jason Meyer set the record for most points in a season, if they were so amazingly effective in the red zone?
@hawkblogger I hope the Hawks match. Bobo is more than just a good teammate, he's underutilized. Great size, great blocker and special teams, but the guy is excellent at contested catches. Why they don't use him more near the end zone is beyond me.
@Jason_OTC Wow. Glad we're not the Eagles! Have to get super creative just to make room for a one-year contract, still paying for it five years down the line!
@hawkblogger If the PNW is South Alaska, makes sense to re-sign a player who hails from North Alaska. I can attest that we are indeed big fans up here, and we love us some Pili! Made some big plays last year, and the arrow is still pointing up.
@hawkblogger I LOVE Bobo, but that's a lot for your FIFTH WR spot. Given the Shaheed deal and presumably keeping JSN for ever and ever, should we wonder about the statuses of Kupp or Horton?
@hawkblogger In the 12 games he played in Seattle since the trade, Shaheed went 18/36 for 266 yards as a receiver. That's a 50% catch rate, and zero TDs.
This deal seems foolish to me. That's a LOT of money for a returner. I am much more optimistic on Horton becoming the WR2.
@Ballknower0825@hawkblogger If they're going to sign him to a $51M contract, I am absolutely going to judge him on those 12 games (not 9) in Seattle. Does it not matter how he fits in our offense? I did not see evidence of a great fit.
Enjoy having your opinion, I just disagree.
@Ballknower0825@hawkblogger Look at his time in Seattle. JUST as a receiver:
Shaheed (12 games) 18/36, 266 yds, 0 TDs
Horton (8 games) 13/22, 161 yds, 5 TDs
That's a 50% catch rate. That's why I have concerns about paying him like a WR2, when I have not seen the proof yet. (At least, in Seattle.)
@CDonnick1 I agree on the chemistry, or lack thereof. He looked like a special teams guy pretending to be a receiver. Not enthused to spend that much for a return guy.
@24TaylorMade@hawkblogger Sorry, I know I'm in the minority here, but a $17M returner seems like a luxury. What I saw on the field was them TRYING to work him into the offense, but having limited success. Didn't connect on a deep shot until the NFC title game. His impact was mostly on returns.
