Despite being raised in rural coastal Washington, and routinely referencing his affinity for Seattle sports, FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd has often been critical of the Seahawks in recent years. Cowherd had been especially critical of head coach Pete Carroll and the perceived handling of quarterback Russell Wilson. Since then, Cowherd has been rather neutral, if not perhaps a bit dismissive of Seattle’s chances.
However, his tune appears to be changing. On Thursday, Cowherd discussed who he felt the eight division winners were going to be. He changed his qualifiers to which team had the most productive quarterback last year AND will be bringing their head coach back. When looking at these particular metrics, there is an obvious answer in the NFC West.
