I think we need a linebacker

I don't think that was ignorance on everyone's part. There was legitimately many players that played bigger roles to get to those titles. 

Wilson, Lynch and the Legion of Boom were bigger reasons for that title than Wagner. I don't think many would argue otherwise.

I know about all those other things, but Lewis was a liability physically. You balance those things out and he was average at best. He was getting exposed a lot. It was kinda sad to watch if you saw his prime.

Maybe our history with LBs makes me a little more jaded, but still, I think 4-3 LB is pretty far down the list of important positions on a championship team. I'd put QB, o-line, RB/run game, d-line and CBs above LBs. Maybe other positions if the player is capable of being an x-factor (think Eifert when healthy, although I know you disagree there).

If you talk to people that Follow the Seahawks they would say Wagner is the Key to the Defense. Him and KJ Wright are beasts.
