Yeah, the 206 in your name pretty much explains your optimism.
The Seahawks are making transitions which rarely go smoothly the first few years, like hiring a new coach with little success at the pro level. I think Pete Carroll has a chance at making things work, but he doesn't scare me at all. You're going to have to give him a few years to build his system with players HE chooses. If you're truly expecting a "bounce back" in his first season you're in for a disappointment.
