Comments on: Carroll: The plan is to stick with Tarvaris Jackson http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/30/carroll-the-plan-is-to-stick-with-tarvaris-jackson/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 00:57:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mrseaballs http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/30/carroll-the-plan-is-to-stick-with-tarvaris-jackson/#comment-1514072 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 06:14:01 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=176287#comment-1514072 Gee I must be listening to another coach named Pete Carroll because that isn’t what I hear. Either that or this is another attempt by the media to put words is somebodies mouth. The truth is the Seahawks can only do so much so fast and franchise quarterback is a very tough spot to fill. It’s not as simple as spending money or “just draft one”. All we have right now is Tavaris because he’s the best they’ve been able to get. They are doing all in there power to up-grade at QB & every position of the team. Carroll was very clear on this but some in the media prefer to twist words for some self serving reason. Very 3rd grade if you ask me. And they didn’t “get rid of Matt” . He left for more money and it was the right move for everybody.

Who you going to draft?Never take a qb in the 1st round.You can grab a young backup somewhere or draft one in the later rounds.Look at Matt Flynn, Although I Think he just proved with his performance that Rodgers is a system qb.

Peete, Rob Johnson,Maranovich,Sanchez,Palmer,Leinart.Please!!! Get a grip!

Let Whitehurst walk.

Take a look at Matt Flynn in free agency.

And, hell, if Tennessee happens to part ways with Matt….bring him back home where he belongs!

It’s hard to throw a football in that condition.

This will sound like a player anybody would want on their team: he played thru the injury and didn’t give up on his team. Even after losing his star receiver and three of his starting O-line, he kept his team fighting for a playoff spot…came somewhat close to making it, too.

Say what you will about his skills. He’s tough. He doesn’t quit. He keeps his offense focused. And unless/until the ‘hawks find someone better, he’s the kind of guy you can support, work with, help to make him better.

My only real gripe is that he doesn’t know when to get rid of the ball as the backfield fills up with defenders. He keeps thinking he can still make a play, but more often than not it ends up with lost yardage on a sack. Fix that, and the ‘hawks control the ball longer.

…I love these idiotic comments that are still hilarious two years later. Yeah, we’ll call them the USC Hawks, because they have all of FIVE USC guys on the roster.

All the Pete Carroll shots are laughable. The guy took over an aging team with no talent and in only two seasons helped transform them into a the 2nd youngest team with a top 10 defence and an impressive running attack.

Im sure Pete knows nothing about the NFL and the secondary going from a bunch of midgets to 3 potential Pro Bowlers has nothing to do with him.

The team has a tough-minded identity in only two seasons. Im sure that has nothing to do with the head coach either.

Tjack is a stopgap and like Rosenthal said is playing beyond the expectations from the team/league. Thats pretty damn good for a cheap filler on a rebuilding team. And his record is over .500.

It says a lot that hes not extending Tjack any time soon. Contract is just 2 yrs and hes getting the most of a relatively poor field of options. Its not like hes giving him Kevin Kolb money.

Jackson is actually a big surprise this year, i know us 49ers fans were laughing our @sses off when they signed him but he’s played very well considering his main WR has been injured and Jackson showing no signs of being starting QB in Minnesota The NFC west is suddenly going to be very competitive next season with the Seahawks, 49ers and Cardinals all playing very well.

Yes, he’s done such a TERRIBLE job so far. :rolleyes:

Considering the farce of a team he inherited, Carroll and Co. have done an amazing job.

Luck, Barkley, and Griffin are not coming to Seattle anytime soon. The Seahawks will make every effort to upgrade the position but if Tavaris Jackson is their best option at quarterback next year he is the starter. Nobody else on the roster can play the position. The same statement could be made about the Right Guard starter or any position on the team, but nobody from the press asks the coach the status of the Right Guard for 2012. I expect the Seahawks to draft a quarterback project in the second or third round and to possibly make a run at Matt Flynn.

What happen to always compete? He used to open every position very off season. I guess always compete ran off like Carroll did once he saw the dark clouds hanging over SC. What a hypocrite PC is.
================================
every team that says all positions are open to competition are usually on the mediocre end of league.

The only way this is a bad move is if they don’t draft a QB this year. Which would be a horrible decision BTW. But I think they will, then TJ will play next year until he either gets benched/injured and the new guy takes over.

I’d like to see what he can do with two more years of rebuilding the roster, and see what he can do with a better QB at the helm.

No way Seattle sticks with Jackson long term. Next season while they wait for the QB they want to come along…maybe, but I expect they will still draft and sign a free agent QB to compete with Jackson. They would be stupid not to.

I mean what is Pete going to do say were looking for a replacement..? T-Jax been threw enough with the outside world bashing him. Until their is a better option in place what good would saying “We’re looking for a new starter” be? Tavares showed signs but after him theirs… Oh Josh Portis. When Pete said they still look in the draft read between the lines “Competition at every position means your job is never safe… We jus have to get more competitors than Josh Portis.” This was just Pete’s way of saying “It’s your job to lose”.

Seattle isn’t that far away. A legit QB and another weapon on Offense and they can be in the mix.
If I were Seattle I’d look at Matt Flynn and then draft a guy in round 3.
The last Matt from GB took you to a Super Bowl.

People are criticizing Carroll? What’s he supposed to do? He doesn’t exactly have a lot of options. With Barkley returning to USC, Luck is like the only pro-ready QB in the draft (or at least pro-ready with the starter potential) and he’s going to go #1 overall. Even Griffin III, with how his stock is skyrocketing, likely should sit for a year or two. Jackson’s no all-star, but he can be a decent stop-gap for another year while they groom a young QB.
