The Seahawks may just be elite cultivators of quarterback talent

Speaking of Slingin' Sammy D.: after leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 14-win season last year, he has looked like a very efficient passer for the Hawks. He hasn't been perfect, but Darnold has a 70% completion percentage (seventh among QB's who have attempted at least 50 passes) and owns the fifth-highest passer rating total (106.5) through four games. Some are still skeptical of his abilities, which is understandable with sample size in mind.

John Schneider moved on from Russell Wilson at the exact right moment in time. Wilson has struggled to capture his near Hall-of-Fame-level play ever since leaving the Emerald City. Schneider shifted gears away from seeing multiple Pro Bowl seasons out of Geno Smith (formerly known as a 'bust'), who now leads the league in interceptions. How? Is it possible that it's not a timing thing? Maybe the Seahawks organization and philosophy allow the team to support and squeeze as much talent out of each QB?
