This from Aaron to open up the show. Aaron writes, Kevin, I'm a lifelong Seattle fan, and also a fan of

yours, been listening for the last 10 years since moving to the DMV. I have to disagree with you,

saying that the Eagles were a better team than Seattle this year. Your own favorite DVOA has this year's

Seahawks as the fourth best team in NFL history.

It's true.

Seattle, per Aaron Schatz's DVOA, combined regular season and playoffs,

number four on the list behind, number one, the 91 skins, number two, the 85 bears, and

number three, the 2007 Patriots. And, Aaron, I'll answer that here in a minute or two.

Or less than that, actually. If you missed Wizards GM Will Dawkins on the show yesterday,

I thought he was really good. I've actually enjoyed having him on the show the three or four times

he's been on since becoming the GM. I think they're doing a really good job. I really do. Like,

I don't want to, you know, start the chess versus checkers, you know, the whole Adam Peters let them meet thing.

You know, let's see how this all plays out. But I think the process has been a good one.

And I think they've been on the right side of a lot of these deals in the moment. You know,

it's easy, in hindsight, to go back and say, man, they shouldn't have

done that deal. They should have kept those two first-round picks, even though they were

super late and super protected, because Anthony Davis played 12 games for them. What were they doing?

And the other four guys, they got, two of them never played, you know, because they shipped

them out, and the other guy really wasn't very good at all.

But in the moment is really how you have to value these trades, is based on the context of the

trade, the time, et cetera, did they get a good deal?

I mean, it seems strange that Anthony Davis could be available for what the Wizards gave up.
