This is what I like about you Barny. You don't even recognize when you are completely wrong.

Schneider started in 2010 and Seattle had that WL record ONLY because they had 3 GREAT drafts 2010-2012 [8 Pro-bowlers [PB] and 7 other guys that got solid to elite 2nd contracts].
Scot McCloughan was there for those 3 years and in 2010 Schneider had 98% of Ted’s draftboard, 50% in 2011 and 25% in 2012.
After 2012, McCloughan left and Schneider without any of Ted’s draft board conducted 5 drafts that yielded NOT ONE SINGLE PBer and only 3 starters [Ifedi, Britt and Lockett-Clark is a solid situational pass rusher].
With a cheap PB QB and 14 other cheap starters [7 of which were PBers], Schnieder had a fortune to spend on FAs. Just a few decent picks and a few solid FA decisions and this should have been a 10 year dynasty w/ 3-4-5 SBs. But, Schneider literally killed it with several STUPID FA moves and trades [Balmer, Flynn, Lacy, Atari Bigby, Leon Washington, Jason Jones, Farwell, Whitehurst, Joekal, Palombus, Harvin, TE Miller, Raheem Brock, Mike Williams, Rubin, Graham, Sydney Rice, Robert Gallery, McQuisten, Branch, etc]. Branch’s signing caused 4th rounder Jaye Howard to be cut as a rookie, where played at a PB level in KC before injuries took him out. Seattle traded for Lynch in 2010 and signed Bennett and Avril, which were good moves, but only Lynch and Bennett were Schneider’s doing. And Schneider traded his 2018 2nd [1 yr rental of Richardson] and 3rd rounder [for a 10M tackle that’ll probably be cut].
Schneider is a loser drafting w/o McCloughan and Ted’s Board.
Schneider is a loser in making deals.
And Schneider is a drunk and one of those good time Charlie Friends. He rode his “friend” McCloughan, when he should have been more concerned of his health. Did you know Randy Newman wrote the short people song after meeting Schnieder?
In McGinn’s hack piece of Ted, I wonder who could McGinn identify as a “close friend” of Ted’s that would publically sell him out? I’ll bet that turd was Schneider, the guy is a POS. Though he did introduce Jessica Kress to McCarthy.
