This ranking has sparked criticism among Seahawks supporters, who argue that the team's history of developing quarterbacks like Matt Hasselbeck and Russell Wilson contradicts the assessment. The list has intensified discussions about the national perception of the Seahawks, especially following their Super Bowl LX victory. Fans have expressed concerns about perceived disrespect heading into the 2026 season while highlighting Geno Smith's mixed performance levels across different teams in recent seasons.
