The last couple of days have been rather bitter sweet for any Seahawk fan. First the NFL lockout is finally over meaning that we will get to watch our favorite team but with the new season also comes the realization that it will be without Matt Hasselbeck. In his place we have three would be starting quarterbacks that we really don't know that much about.
Before I write about the new guys I would like to say a few things a our former quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Over the last ten years you have been the best quarterback this franchise has ever seen. Even though you have stumbled a few times in recent years you have given us more thrilling moments then bad. You have play under some hard condition and gone through some injuries that might have ended the careers of some and you managed to come back. You might have lost a step but your grit makes up for that and I hope you do well in Tennessee except when you play Seattle.
We brought in Charlie Whitehurst last season to be a backup and possible replacement. The few times he has had an opportunity to play it has been for mixed results. He actually did better though than most of remember even though it wasn't anything spectacular. He is still fairly young in his career and hasn't played enough to show total worth to the team.
According to a report Matt Leinart will be going to Texas instead of signing with Seattle.
Yesterday the Seahawks sign Tarvaris Jackson to compete for the starting job. Just like Whitehurst, Jackson is a big unknown and has even less playing time under his belt. He is a about the same age as Whitehurst, play 6 seasons and only played in a handful of games for the Vikings.
