But bad asset mismanagement is a large part of why the Seahawks are even here. I tend to think Russ would still be a Seahawk if they didn't destroy themselves with the Adams trade.

This is why no Seahawk fan should be particularly hopeful about the upcoming rebuild. Never mind that the league has passed Pete by in terms of philosophy, but it's his over-estimation of gadget players that's been equally detrimental. This crap all started with Graham / Unger. Great move: trade for a top TE then don't bother to scheme for him. When they actually threw to Graham all he did was catch TD's. Then the Harvin experiment that probably did more to poison the locker room than Sherman, Baldwin, and Bennett combined. Now, Jamal Adams who they don't seem to know how to use, and even if there were using him optimally, isn't worth what they paid. Seattle has been successful in spite of themselves.
