Because it's so damn fun to make fun of these clowns Any news about this pathetic excuse for a franchise can be posted in here, topics such as which Raider broke the law this week, about how they have a worse #1 overall QB pick than we do, or even them cutting draft picks before they even make it to training camp, or you can just drop by to talk about how much you think they suck It's all here folks, welcome to the toilet bowl of thread's about the toilet bowl of the NFL

I had two reactions. I'm glad to see SEA lose Norton. But I wish we had gotten him.

Seriously, almost started a thread but saw this get bumped and immediately knew why.

Would've loved to have him in SF.. for obvious reasons.

Yeah I wish we could get him back on the team.

Just speculating but he will run a similar defensive schemes he was a part of in Seattle and during his playing days. I'm sure he has his own versions of what went well, how to attack certain offenses on all three levels, etc... I am hoping him the best, I've always liked norton as a player and coach. Norton had his LB's in seattle in position to make plays and he didn't hesitate to replace a player who wasn't performing well.

Since when do position coaches decide who plays? That's up to the coordinators and head coach, unless Seattle has a different way of doing things.

This was a good signing, whether niner fans want to admit it or not.

What makes it a good signing? If it turns out to be a good signing, that's great for them. I'm just wondering why you already believe it's a good choice when you have nothing to base that off of. He's never been a coordinator before so there's no way you know he'll be successful. This is a gamble that could turn out great for them, or it could be a disaster. Nostalgia seems to be guiding your assumptions.

Dude, raider fans ALWAYS think they're in the playoff hunt. Every. Single. Year.

They've been in the preseason playoff hunt for each of the 12 years they've failed to make it.

They've been delusional and that hasn't changed.
