Here’s hoping we meet again in an NFC championship game again soon.

Does anyone really think that Pete will make this “open” in a true sense of the word? Flynn will start the very first game of the season, unless he gets injured during pre-season/training, somehow.

TJack will be a very good backup this year and allows Portis to further develop into the next season’s backup or even starter down the road.

I do know Jackson pretty well and while Bn2n2me is right Jackson has more talent, is a better athlete, may have a stronger arm and does know the system better, Flynn is a better QB than him.

Flynn is more composed, more accurate with his passes and knows how to read defenses. Hell you don’t have to take my word for it, you will see soon enough.

Sure Flynn couldn’t beat out JaMarcus Russell but the first year that he took over the team from him he wins a national championship. Did Russell ever win one in his 3 years as a starter? Nope.

As far as race goes, well I hate everyone equally intially. I really don’t give a crap about skin color in life or in sports. If your a good person or player I will like ya but if I don’t like someone, you can be damn sure it has nothing to do with the color of ones skin.

Peace, out.

1.) Matt Flynn
2.) Josh Portis
3.) Undrafted QB

4.) T-Joke

Just curious… how many yards did Ray Rice put up on us lowly Seahawks? You know, when Seattle throttled the living he11 out of you guys last year?

The mythology of “The Ravens’ Defense” is as dead as Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are ancient. We proved that with Tevaris Jackson under center, too!

Meet the present-tense, ravenspit. Meet the Seattle Seahawks.

Unfortunately for you, that will involve facing certain truths.. one of those inherent truths is the highly skilled, ravenously hungry (pun very intended,) talented, beastly, young defense in the Pacific NW.

Oh, and because you’re obviously not very bright: 16 yards. Ray Rice struggled all game long for 16 yards against a real defense in this “sh!t town by the sound.”

With the Seahawks’ “earn everything” motto, I was more surprised last year when Carroll handed over the reigns so easily to Jackson than I am now with him saying there will be a competition for the starting job.

I felt the same way, until I saw Charlie Whitehurst try to play QB against Cleveland. That game induced flashbacks to the Kelly Stouffer/Dan McGwire/Stan Gelbaugh/Jeff Kemp era. Whitehurst started four games in his career in Seattle. One got us a playoff berth – we scored 16 points. Two of the others, the offense averaged 4.5 points per game. The fourth one, he was pulled from in favor of Jackson.

Getting Whitehurst was the first “big move” I saw the new managment make. It has also been the biggest failure. Can’t really complain, since there have been a lot more “hits” than “misses” as they’ve rebuilt the team, but I don’t think Whitehurst ever did much to impress the staff, which is why Jackson was basically handed the job last July.

I’m not saying he’s wrong to do so. TJack is terrible – just a serviceable backup. I just hate hypocrites, and everything that Carroll says and does is a contradiction. What a joke.

Carroll’s statement is purely about keeping Jackson motivated to be a good backup.

To think that Phibin had doubts should be a warning sign.

That is the problem, is many people think Philbin did not want him. If you had to pick a disfunctional team that sucked, or a young team on the rise with a great FO and Owner which would you pick? He promised Philbin he would visit, and he got there and said no thank you. We will see, but stop listening to the moron talking heads. Seattle was the right stop for him.

Tavaris will be the qb next year, he has more talent, knowledge of the system, stronger arm, and more athletic than Flynn. Flynn has been a backup for 4 years, and before that couldn’t beat out your BIGGEST scapegoat..Jamarcus Russel(now what)!

Yall need to get a life, and quit fighting the fact the league is OURS now..thanks for coming, we’ll take it from here(finally).

Regardless of what Pete’s saying right now – whether he’s just being political or there will be a legitimate competition for the starting job, Flynn will be the starter. I realize he’s unproven, but he was groomed under Aaron Rodgers…I can’t imagine he would lose out to T-Jack.
