Why it’s OK to apply skepticism and optimism to Brandon Marshall’s arrival

Brandon Marshall, he of three games played in 2018, and three years removed from productivity, is a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

There are legitimate reasons to pooh-pooh the move, to express serious skepticism it will work, or amount to a net positive for the team.

  • Maybe Marshall, 34, doesn’t recover well enough from the ankle injury he suffered last October that held him out the rest of the season.
  • Maybe he doesn’t have good enough hands to succeed in a balanced offense, where every drop is more costly than in a high-volume passing scheme.
