Sounds like you’re drunk because that was an incoherent mess of words if I ever saw one. We don’t even have Louis Rankin anymore.

At first glance it seems insane, but it could just work out. They won the division last year with Whitehurst. I think Jackson is backup at best, but Leinart was by far the best QB Arizona had in the preseason last year. His being cut had nothing to do with his play. (Was he seeing the coach’s daughter?)

TiceWasBetter, T-Jack was bad with “exotic blitz schemes”? Sorry but that sounds fabricated and hilarious at the same time

John Schneider, Pete the Cheat & Tom Cable walk into a smelly Seattle bar: Pete asks Schneider, why the wrong face? Schneider replies, well Cable’s got the runs so I had to respond by hiring three guys since Matt Hasselbeck’s out of town take care of this mess.

Did this joke make much sense either? Probably not, but yall should still simmer down now. Pete the Cheat knows it’ll be everyone wins situation. Paul Allen pays these bums one year’s check to be a moving target (t var is wack son), a sitting duck (flat leinart) and/or the last body standing (clipboard jesus). They die, we lose, yet we still win in the end with a delicious draft pick. What’s the worst that could happen? Alex smith signs w the 49′ers and we go the playoffs with a losing record? And anyone who’s surprised by these moves needn’t go much deeper to understand why: Tom cable + beastmode + forsett + rankin – good qb = run, run, run.

It’s funny how everyone is joking on the Seahawks but outside of the Rams fans, should 49er’s & Cardinals really be talking??? That division sucked royally last year. The Rams get a pass with a first year QB & coach. The Seahawks were at least competitive in the play offs. It will probably be a 2 teams race between the Rams & Seahawks. Alex Smith isn’t gonna get it done San Fran would better giving reps to Colin K & Kevin Kolb or not, Arizona ain’t going anywhere! Let’s go Chicago! Bear Down!!!

Looks like Seattle is hoping three nickels equals a quarter.

It’s really hard to be considered out of the NFC West race but Seattle has found a way.

It speaks volumes when the best QB in the NFC West will be Sam Bradford and Dude is in his second yr ,,what a pathethic division.

Im optimistic about these QB moves… Both have had veteran leadership pressed upon them and realisticly have something to prove! combine that with competition to start any given Sunday things could get interesting…..

All 3 are better than Hasselbeck, a broken down turnover machine!

Go Hawks!

Let me guess, the first thing he does when he gets there is check into the Seattle Hilton.

I’m sad to see Hasselbeck go. Carrolls modous operandi is to get many bodies at one position and heave them duke it out for the top spot. So this fits with that thinking. They have 5 QBs now and that Portis kid has potential he’s totally undisciplined though.

I think they see an aging and fragile Hasselbeck as just a bit better than these other guys for tons more money. So they figure “why not let let them fight it out and maybe we’ll get a good one” whereas they really know what they have with Hasselbeck. The potential talent can be more alluring than the known talent. Might be a big mistake but after making something out of the mess of a roster that TIm Ruskell left, Carroll and Schneider deserve the benefit of the doubt for this year IMO.

Haha, I like how everyone is hating on the Hawks. Just remember that they ended up winning the division last year with Whitehurst, so as long as they perform better than him they’ll end up winning the division again. 9ers are out of it because they are bringing back Smith again. Rams schedule has taken them out of the race before it even started, they’ll be lucky if they have a win by the time half the season is over. Cards we will see, depends on who they bring in for a QB.

Well at least we will have good draft position next year.

Wow, reading the comments from some Hawk fans on here I’m amazed at how many are making excuses already and also how many have are ok with losing this year.

For the first time in a decade, I can say with confidence that the Niners will not be in the cellar this season.

Now I just need the Cards to give away the house to the Eagles for Feeley…I mean Kolb.

Did I miss something? Was there a coup in Seattle and somehow Matt Millen ended up as GM?

Leinhart will finally get his chance and if I were a betting man I would bet he is the starter and does well, now just wait for Reggie to get cut and bring him in and we will have the 2011 USCHawks trifecta (Leinhart, Bush, Williams).

But in reality and joking aside look at how big a bust Mike Williams was in Detroit and what he did last year so if Pete Carrol can get the same increase in Leinhart watchout NFC West.

That’s so farve’d up for T-Jack.

He finally gets a chance to be The Guy, and his new team doesn’t even waste a day to go get somebody to try and beat him out for the job.

Can Jackson back out of the deal before Friday??

Right now Jackson is the starter by week 3 as he knows everything about Bevell’s offense.

I liked him in Minnesota, eventually it was obvious his days were numbered. T-Jack should’ve been outta MN last year. He just was never consistent, couldn’t stay healthy and struggled against exotic blitz schemes. But great potential with a rocket arm and athleticism, it was just the menal and health aspect of the game.

You could take the best skill that each has to offer and not come up with an average NFL QB……talk about a team mailing it in before the season even starts!

As a Lions fan, Orlovsky is not a bad backup. give him a line and he will be ok.

Poor T-Jack. First it was Brett Favre, now he has to deal with that idiot? Go ahead and hit me with some thumbs down but T-Jack is actually a pretty damn good QB he just needs a chance to show it. He should get that chance in Seattle, Leinart had a great situation in Arizona and he choked. Just go ahead and give Leinart the damn clipboard.

I’ve been stunned by many Carroll/Schneider moves, stunned to the point that I sit there and stare out the window wondering if somehow Ken Behring has re-bought the team and is trying to move back to LA. But then, some of them actually work out. Last year, it was Mike Williams and Leon Washington. Who knows, it might be one of these QBs this year. One thing’s for sure, Matt Hasselbeck was TERRIBLE last season so it really can’t get much worse.

“Carroll wants to make Whiteturd look like a starter…so he signs this clusterhump of goons to shame the position and put Charlie on a pedestal?

That is my only explanation.”

Clusterhump of goons…..that made me laugh.
