Seahawks Super Bowl Champs: Why No One's Talking?

The Seattle Seahawks, the reigning Super Bowl champions, are being surprisingly overlooked in offseason NFL discussions. Media coverage has heavily favored rivals such as the Los Angeles Rams, who have made significant player acquisitions. The San Francisco 49ers are also garnering attention as their roster returns to full health.

This lack of acknowledgment for the Seahawks comes despite their Super Bowl title. Changes in coaching staff and the departure of key players have led to a perception of decline, while their competitors have seemingly strengthened. Analyst Tim Hasselbeck noted that the Seahawks' athletic defense and coaching are strengths, but suggested that doubts about quarterback Sam Darnold contribute to the team's low ranking.

Hasselbeck commented that while Seattle is athletic and well-coached defensively, the perceived uncertainty around Darnold might be a factor. He predicted a competitive season, with a potential battle between the Rams and Seahawks. The author questions if Darnold is truly the sole reason for this disrespect, given his past success leading the Seahawks to the Super Bowl without playoff turnovers and achieving two consecutive 14-win regular seasons.
