Comments on: Charlie Whitehurst expected to get his shot http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/21/charlie-whitehurst-should-get-his-shot/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 26 May 2013 00:29:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: fwbrodie http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/21/charlie-whitehurst-should-get-his-shot/#comment-1341342 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 23:11:38 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=162025#comment-1341342 Highest QBR in the NFC West: not Kolb, not Bradford, not Smith: Tarvaris Jackson.

That being said, I think Charlie can get it done just fine. He has the ability to move the offense despite being less accurate and a little more shaky when a play breaks down than Tarvaris. Especially with Joe Haden out, I see no reason why Whitehurst shouldn’t succeed this week.

After this week though, I want to see Tarvaris get back in there to keep the snowball rolling down the hill. His progress has been great.

We’ve seen in the past that he’s capable of doing that.
That being said, Tarvaris has shown many good signs that things are coming around for him in his new envioronment. Oh the envy of all those Vikings fans who have had to endure a lost season at the expense of their own catcalls that pushed him out of town and an imbicile front office led by Spielman who let the team get torn to shreds in the offseason.

- The World Series… Baseball in general… Sucks. Going to the games in person isn’t half bad, but baseball on TV practically as boring to watch as golf on television. Football is exciting, no matter which two teams are playing, doesn’t matter if it’s high school ball or NFL, still more exciting than baseball, whether it’s the World Series or not.

Go Seahawks, go Whitehurst!

Whitehurst has had two full weeks to practice with the first team, and two full weeks to adjust to backup center Lemuel Jeanpierre.

Sucks that Miller won’t play. He hasn’t made a huge contribution yet this year, mostly because he spent the first couple of games helping out with the blocking. As the young line gels, he’s likely to get into the pattern more and get more chances to contribute. McCoy is a serviceable backup, but his hands aren’t nearly as good.

Carroll has some sort of unknown beef with Whitehurst…..

Seriously…cut your hair dude.

Seattle is cool, but they made a huge mistake passing on Andy Dalton.

It isn’t working out like he thought, so now it’s time to move to Plan B.

Arguably 3 of thier best players. Seattle will roll. 23-13

But I’m glad Charlie will be starting. I will pick him up in my fantasy league and give him a ceremonial start. I didn’t expect to win this week anyway.

You could have given him Monopoly money and he wouldn’t have known the difference, and the earnings would have been better justified.

Acquiring Tarvaris Jackson to start over Charlie Whitehurst is like fixing a hole in a flat with a nail.
