Analysis

QB battle: Drew Lock vs. Geno Smith? The franchise is taking a drastic turn, moving on from talented QB Russell Wilson. Will chronic gumchewer Pete Carroll be able to make beautiful music with these two quarterbacks? There are credible, even dynamic, receivers, but can the QBs reliably deliver the ball? They better; otherwise the running game will be dead in the water, unless RB Rashaad Penny can make his late season heroics the new normal. The defense will miss the veteran know-how of Bobby Wagner.

Prediction: 4th in division. The Seahawks are in rebuild mode, but don’t tell Pete Carroll.
