We used to be in there, now we’re out here
Posts Tagged ‘Charlie Whitehurst’
Apparently, Pete Carroll has finally figured out that the Seahawks’ glass is not half full on offense right now. Not sure why it took him until Sunday to figure that out, but it sounds like reality has finally struck Positive Pete smack in his “hormonal” head. Among his epiphanies from the 34-12 loss to the [...]
Plenty of people are scratching their heads over the Seahawks’ seeming failure to acquire a passable passer and instead go with a couple of unprovens this season. Against the wishes of people like me, they let longtime franchise leader Matt Hasselbeck go and decided not to get into a bidding war for Kevin Kolb or [...]
Fans and media have been rumbling for three years about replacing Matt Hasselbeck. This year, the rumblers are calling for the Seahawks to draft hometown hero Jake Locker or trade for Carson Palmer, Kevin Kolb, Vince Young or Kyle Orton. Bringing in a new quarterback would be a great idea if the Seahawks could [...]
Funny that everyone has been writing off Matt Hasselbeck, assuming that the quarterback was finished in Seattle after a tough stretch where he tried to do too much for an undermanned offense and then got hurt again. Apparently none of those people – most of the fans and media in Seattle — have been paying [...]
Whitehurst wasn’t impressive
4 Jan 2011Well, we asked for it, and we finally got to see what Charlie Whitehurst can do. And we weren’t very impressed. Yeah, the Seahawks beat the Rams to win the NFC Worst, but that was more a product of the Rams playing/coaching a bad game and the Seahawks getting a little help from the officials. [...]
Seahawks get the job done to win the Worst
In: NFL
3 Jan 2011As hard as it is to believe, the 7-9 Seattle Seahawks have the same shot to win the Super Bowl as the 14-2 New England Patriots. Well, not really, but you know what I mean. When you get to the playoffs, anything can happen, and Seattle at least gave itself the opportunity to shock the world [...]
It’s time to see Charlie Whitehurst
20 Dec 2010Yep, it’s time to make Charlie Whitehurst the starting quarterback for the Seahawks for the rest of the season. While it doesn’t look like Pete Carroll is going to do it, there are a lot of reasons to make this move now. Matt Hasselbeck has shown what he can – and can’t – do with [...]
People who don’t know anything about football are sure to start the call for Charlie Whitehurst to replace Matt Hasselbeck as the Seahawks’ starting quarterback. After one preseason game. Let’s make this very clear: There is no quarterback controversy. No, Hasselbeck and the first offense did not fare that well against Tennessee. Hasselbeck completed only [...]
Is Whitehurst the next Hasselbeck?
18 Mar 2010Nine years ago, Mike Holmgren brought an inexperienced but promising backup quarterback from Green Bay to Seattle by swapping first-round picks and giving the Packers a third-rounder. That deal worked out quite well as Matt Hasselbeck overcame a shaky first year to turn into a Pro Bowl and Super Bowl quarterback (and the Hawks got [...]
What is Whitehurst worth?
15 Mar 2010As the Seahawks wait for Charlie Whitehurst to decide whether he wants to sign with them or Arizona, it’s worth wondering what the Hawks have offered San Diego in trade for the 27-year-old quarterback and what they have offered in money to Whitehurst. Because the Chargers tendered Whitehurst at his third-round draft level and the [...]
