I swear if our only answer at QB next season is Tarvaris Jackson, I’ll be down at my local electronics shop buying that new 80″ flat-screen AND a new couch to watch it from. There is ZERO chance I’m paying money to watch T-Jack play another season as the Seahawks starting QB.

T-Jack was always a stop gap to step into a system he knew after a year with no OTA’s, a young, inexperienced line, and an obvious never was going to be at QB in CW. He performed ok given those circumstances and his injury.

JC and PC have dumped low talent(half the roster), under performing(Curry), beyond their ability to contribute(tatupu) players and have aggressively filled it with young, fast, strong, up and coming players. Manning doesn’t fit that type of player especially given the fact that it is still not known if he can play EVER AGAIN, not just this year.

BTW, they aren’t going after Peyton, the Seattle Media and fans can dream, but it won’t happen.

Seattle also finished tied for 19th in sacks.

Improve that pass rush, get QBs forcing the ball into that talented young secondary more often, and that INT number is only going to improve.

Get that kind of defense: Tough against the run, getting in the QBs face in passing situations – and a mediocre QB can get you places. Just look at Alex Smith. Not saying Seattle can’t use an upgrade from Tavaris Jackson, but I think if they wanted a 36 year old QB with injury concerns, they’d probably have just resigned Matt Hasselbeck when they had the chance last year.

They haven’t panicked and gone after Kolb, Palmer, or any of the other high-priced (in terms of money and picks) free agents. Whitehurst was a project that didn’t work. Jackson was/is a stopgap measure, which is why he’s on a two-year deal. About the only “mistake” they’ve made is not drafting Andy Dalton, and that’s pure hindsight (especially given Dalton may yet prove to be a one-year wonder).

If Schneider likes Flynn…and he had plenty of opportunity to check him out…then he’ll be made an offer. If not, I very strongly doubt Manning is part of the agenda, and the team will look to the draft. Personally, I’d rather see them go after Flynn and use the draft to shore up the pass rush, improve speed and depth at LB, add some depth at RB (or a replacement for Lynch if he’s not resigned), or to address other needs.

They traded for Whitehurst but neither Charlie Whitehurst or Tavaris Jackson received a starter caliber contract and are placeholders until the long term starter is found. With the state of the offensive line, Hasselback would not have made it out of pre-season in one piece. Jackson played while hurt this past season and will be the long term back-up if he eventually accepts that role.

Criticism of Schneider and Carroll comes from people who don’t realize what a mess this team was when they were hired. Or from idiots.

You must be high if you think Seattle is going to stomp ANYBODY.

But Pacific NW Mark, you’re points are incredibly basic and short-sighted. Schneider is regarded as one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL.

Getting Pro Bowl players like Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor in the 5th round. Doug Balwin undrafted, Brandon Browner off the street, KJ Wright, Marshawn Lynch, Chris Clemons in trades for peanuts.

Remember the Seahawks under Mora/Ruskell in 09. A team with no image/talent/hope.

Schneider has turned the roster to a young, fast, strong unit in less than 2 seasons

Saying hes 0/2 because of his qb decisions is pathetic analysis and pretty absurd!!!

Peter King said if he needed to pick 5 executives to run a franchise, hed take schneider.

Saying the team went under .500 is so basic. The team inherited a complete mess with no talent.

These guys know what theyre doing. They passed on Kolb, McCoy, Clausen, Palmer for good reason.

Not panicking probably means not signing Matt Flynn or reaching on Tanenhill at 11/12. The TJack contract proves how little the team thinks of his future. They needed a guy to fill the void until the OL was ready.

I hate all the uneducated people who comment on this stuff. Seahawks who ranked top 10 in D beat the Ravens/Giants this year with Tjack at QB. Just wait till they add more pass rush this year.

I’m shocked…

On the other hand, what does Schneider call it when he handed Charlie Whitehurst $8 million? Because to most fans THAT looked like panic. And handing Tarvaris another $8 million the next year doesn’t make the first decision look any better.

GMs are judged by the decisions they make. Schneider is arguably 0 for 2 at this point at QB selection, and the Seahawks’ losing records over the last two years bear out the critical nature of those decisions. If it’s not time to panic, it may be time to turn up the fire under the GM.

Sure sounds like panic to me.

Repeat two more times. Punt.

Because they’re too busy panicking about everything else?
