Arians rips the GOAT , now he’s slapping players . If I’m a franchise guy looking for a home it’s not there. Who knows if Russ winds up asking out in a demanding way or perhaps he decides walking it back another year is his best option as well.
Why would we care what Arians thinks? He's only relevant because Brady went to TB and won a Super Bowl. Arians wouldn't have done it on his own. Another coach made relevant by a great player who could win it all.
Criticism of Russell Wilson isn't an issue. Arians isn't calling Brady a diva and making personal attacks on him and his character.
And if what you say is true, then why isn't it ok for a player to call out a coach who has been screwing up drafts and makings stupid trades? If a coach can call out a player for what he does on the field, then why can't a player call out a coach for being an idiot and making stupid calls that cost the team a Super Bowl or making stupid trades that weaken the team?
If I were a player on Seattle when that terrible Super Bowl call was made, I don't know if I could let it go. I might be disgusted with Pete Carroll at that point. That would have likely been my point of no reconciliation . That call when I have much better and more sure calls I could have made might have killed my time with the Seahawks right then. I mostly blame Bevell, but I'm pretty sure Pete signed off on that. Only the guys inside the locker room know for sure how much of a hand Pete had in that stupid call.
Now Pete is not building through the draft, is making shiny toy trades for players he pays more than the guys in the locker room, after playing hardball with guys far better than players like Jamal Adams? How do I take that as a player when they don't want to pay Earl, but they want to pay Jamal?
You act like Carroll's been some kind of untouchable angel since the early days and he hasn't been. If Russell really is unhappy and wants to leave, I can see why. Just as people on here seem to be going, "Can I win another Super Bowl with Russell Wilson?" If I'm Wilson and even I ask this, "Can I win another Super Bowl with Pete Carroll?" To me Carroll is getting beat in the offseason during free agency and the draft and it is leading to him getting beat on the field because he can no longer field a team with a strong defense and run game which is how everyone who has been watching Pete since he got here knows his schemes work best. If he doesn't have those, he won't win or come close to winning a Super Bowl.
If I want to win as a player, why not push back against the head coach I no longer believe can get it done? Who screwed up the chance to be a dynasty team with a terrible play call he didn't need to make? Our Super Bowl loss against the Patriots was rejuvenation of Brady and the Patriots. If we had finished the Patriots that game, they likely would have been broken. But instead they broke us because of the terrible play call at the end of the game. Pete Carroll had to sign off on that.
I have been a big Pete Carroll supporter. I do not believe Carroll can win another Super Bowl in Seattle. He has lost his way in how to build a team. And I don't think he will find it again.
