It was hard to believe all along that Pete Carroll really would go with a rookie over the guy the Seahawks ostensibly signed to be the starting quarterback, but Russell Wilson’s performance has taken everyone’s breath away. Matt Flynn has been efficient, but Wilson has been spectacular, and it is hard to argue with Carroll’s [...]
This blog has resembled a ghost town for the last four months, but that’s just because all of my Seahawk content has migrated to Examiner.com. You can go there to find all of my stuff since April, but here are the most recent items on events related to the Seahawks: So whaddya think: Will Peyton Manning [...]
If Matt Flynn isn’t expected to be the starting quarterback of the Seahawks, why is he pictured prominently on their new season-ticket ad? Don’t let Pete Carroll fool you: He has every expectation that Flynn will be the starting quarterback of the Seahawks this year — and going forward. Both Carroll and Flynn have said [...]
Hawks are in with Flynn!
18 Mar 2012The Seahawks once again aced out the Miami Dolphins for a Green Bay backup quarterback. The Dolphins basically handed Matt Flynn to the Seahawks, who surely were more than happy to take him. Other than the Seahawks’ silly star-struck interest in Peyton Manning — they reportedly were ready to fly to Miami to talk to [...]
Pete Carroll apparently is not averse to wearing expensive hand-me-downs and eating other people’s pricey leftovers, because it appears the Seahawks are poised to enter the Nearly Washed Up Future Hall of Famer Sweepstakes along with just about everyone else. Jim Trotter of SI.com reported: “Seattle is ready not only to pay Peyton Manning and [...]
Speaking of Matt Flynn …
2 Jan 2012After Pete Carroll and John Schneider see the film today, they should know what they need to do at the quarterback position this offseason. The film of their own game – an eminently avoidable 23-20 overtime loss to Arizona — will show Tarvaris Jackson yet again missing his receivers, turning the ball over and failing [...]
A day after we said the Seahawks won’t win in the playoffs with Tarvaris Jackson, Pete Carroll reiterated what was already clear: Jackson enters next year as the starter, but the Hawks will be on the lookout for another guy. “We know where we are with that,” Carroll told reporters, not needing to remind everyone [...]
While many Seahawk fans waste time lamenting the omission (for now) of Marshawn Lynch from the pointless Pro Bowl, we’d rather rue the fact that Tarvaris Jackson is not a Pro Bowl quarterback. We don’t mean that he deserved to be and simply is not; we mean that he is not and never will be. [...]
So much for that playoff idea. If the Seahawks had harbored any such hopes, they torpedoed them Sunday by blowing a 10-point lead over Washington in the fourth quarter in what was easily their most disappointing home game of the season. The Seahawks still could make the playoffs if they win their final five, but [...]
A season and a half into his tenure, the honeymoon is over for Pete Carroll. He has started to absorb a lot of heat for every misstep he and the Seahawks take, and most people are saying his fate in Seattle will be determined by whether he adds a franchise quarterback next offseason and that [...]
