I really can’t believe I’m writing another article about Paxton Lynch. I didn’t ever contemplate I’d ever write one article about him. But many 12s are unconvinced, concerned that Lynch isn’t a good fit. I’m the first to admit that a relatively immobile quarterback might not fit the Seahawks system, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a good move by Seattle.
Let’s start with the biggest reason. Until they signed Lynch, Seattle only had one quarterback under contract. That would be Mr. Unlimited himself, Russell Wilson. They haven’t actually needed another quarterback, as Wilson played every snap in 2018 and only missed five in 2017.
