You can only take away so much in terms of objectivity credibility when you have a matter of a coach speaking about his own player, especially when there are circumstances involved in that coach wanting to talk up said player. In other words, take what Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had to say about the quarterback he got on the back end of a deal that sent Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos.
Still, it speaks to the general perception of this year’s draft class. The Seahawks were expected to be one of the teams most likely to draft a quarterback this year after trading their Super Bowl champion, but they passed on the opportunity, yet it hasn’t stopped the questions.
