The Seahawks boast a Super Bowl-winning offense, but not everyone thinks it's a top unit in football.
The Seattle Seahawks' offense last season was among the best in football, helping power them to the Super Bowl.
Led by quarterback Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Kenneth Walker, the Seahawks' top trio paved the way for Klint Kubiak's team to be elite down the stretch.
But as we know, NFL offseasons see a lot of roster change.
For Seattle, on offense, the changes were minimal, with only Walker being the big name to move on to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Everyone else is coming back.
That means another year of Darnold and JSN, plus the entire starting offensive line is returning as well, so that can't be overlooked either.
Plus, Cooper Kupp, Rasheed Shahid, Tory Holton, A.J. Barner, and Jake Bobo make up the rest of Darnold's skill positions, so you can be safe in the thought that, as we enter the offseason, Seattle still has a good core nucleus of offensive weapons.
And as Super Bowl champs, with most of the unit returning, naturally, the Seahawks are at the pointy end of the list when talking about the league's best offenses, right?
Well, for Fox Sports' Ben Arthur, in ranking the top-10 offenses, he has Seattle at No. 4.
"The Seahawks have their entire offense returning from last year’s Super Bowl-winning team, with one (big) exception: running back Kenneth Walker III, who signed with the Chiefs in free agency," Arthur wrote. "How quickly first-round pick Jadarian Price, who backed up Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame, acclimates to the NFL level will be key to Seattle’s offense.
"Not only is Price replacing Walker, but also his running mate, Zach Charbonnet, who suffered a torn ACL in the divisional round in January."
Is No. 4 fair?
Arthur has the Cincinnati Bengals (No. 3), Dallas Cowboys (No. 2), and the Los Angeles Rams (1) ahead of the Seahawks.
That's not bad company to keep, considering all three are seen to be elite offenses in football, and the Seahawks are right up there with them.
How Brian Fleury's system gets the best out of Darnold, JSN, and others will be key, so too will be the run game, which right now is a huge question mark. Will Jadarian Price be "the" guy, or will a running back-by-committee be how Fleury approaches it?
Either way, the Seahawks still boast plenty of weapons even with Walker no longer on the roster.
Which, to me, speaks volumes about the roster that general manager John Schneider has built.
