“Seattle is for real” - ESPN’s Louis Riddick on why he backs the Seahawks to win NFC West over 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers are predictably the favorites to win the NFC West and among the favorites to reach the Super Bowl after consecutive NFC Championship Game appearances. Even with the uncertainty at quarterback as far as whether Brock Purdy or Trey Lance will be the starter, the overall roster figures to be one of the NFL’s best.The Rich Eisen Show
“I love Kyle Shanahan as much as anybody, but [...] we don’t know who the quarterback’s going to be for them,” Riddick said. “And we don’t know how it’s going to work out. People still believe no matter what Geno Smith did last year, it’s like ‘well it’s Geno Smith. A broken clock can be right twice a day. He just got lucky last year, it just worked out for him.’ They don’t believe!
“People thought Pete Carroll was on his way out. Pete forgot about football. Pete rode the backs of Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas and Marshawn [Lynch], it was just all those guys. People thought that Pete couldn’t coach. There’s no way he can catch up to modern day football.” Riddick went on to praise offensive tackles Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas, the speed and versatility of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the “absolute stable of running backs” with Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon in the secondary, the return of Bobby Wagner, and he didn’t even mention the return of Jamal Adams.
