If we win on Sunday I think we either draft a late round prospect or none at all and start Charlie or even Matt. If we lose I think we draft a first rounder and let Charlie get his chance next year as our starter unless the rookie beats him out. However it goes I’ll just be glad this franchise and fan base can move forward and get past all this bickering.

But I don’t necessarily think he’ll make it very far into the season before being replaced.

But I’d like them to sign a veteran QB as insurance.

And also get a QB in the draft.

Draft rookie QB
Start a newly signed FA / traded for QB (Not Hass)

Cause he sure looked lost last Sunday. I am a CW supporter, only because I wanted to lose a new way, but that was a disheartening performance. I would rather he was missfiring and missing WRs then looking like he didn’t have any WRs out there at all. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during Monday film review to here what was going on. It would be great to think that it was a Matt centeric game plan and that Charlie will have something planned more to his strengths, but that leads one to think that Charlie isn’t capable to reading defenses so give him a quick throw plan, but he can’t hit the short passes, so maybe a one read then gun it long. It depresses me because he has the tools and he flashes them once in a while, but at some point we have to say, even if he can develop, we don’t want to wait anymore. I realize we haven’t waited long, but the NFL in general has.

Please, no Hasselbeck.

Please, please please. If we don’t address the QB situation by letting him go as a FA, then I hope the lockout happens, and lasts all year. I’m tired of this Groundhog Day that Seahawk football has become.

Isn’t he due somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 million next year? (I remember he signed for 2/10mil or something close.

I think if the FO asked themselves if they would rather spend that money on CW than locking down a Mebane or BMW or Obomanu the answer would be a resounding “Hell no”.

At least one of Hasselbeck and Whitehurst is gone. Depending on what Hasselbeck’s contract demands are, it will most likely be Matt back while Charlie and his excessive contract gets the boot. I think Carroll looks for another QB via free agency or trade.

I don’t think we can fully expect Q/PM to take a QB in the 1st round. I certainly don’t want them to select a QB for the sake of taking a QB when there are so many holes that could be filled by the best player available. My guess is a QB in the 2nd-5th round who they try to develop behind whatever veteran plays for the team next year.

Watching Hasselbeck injure himself through….running about might be incentive and a sign he needs to retire and we avoid any controversy over him altogether.

I’m not sure that Charlie’s the answer and don’t want to start next season with a Charlie vs Matt “competition”, but I don’t think he’s played himself out of town quite yet.

It will be much easier to bench Charlie since he’s not the franchise icon Matt is.

I’m going to go look into it. I’m sure it will be more interesting that sundays game.

It’s very possible that he’s available. Baggage aside, I think he would fit in well with the offense. Just not sure if that’s the guy you want the rookie QB to learn from.

Charlie stays as the backup, we release Matt and sign a free agent on the cheap who starts for us. We draft a rookie that develops and starts some time between 2012 and the latter half of 2013.

Objectively speaking, I think there are other veteran quarterbacks you have to make a play for because they will be just as good (or better) but less expensive than Matt. Pennington, Volek, Gradkowski, maybe Fitzpatrick, Kolb, or some others that are better than Charlie. I really don’t think we have a shot at the good, NFL-starter-ready quarterbacks this draft.

when he was going for a seventh-round pick.

Lions have no reason to retain him, and he’s a good scheme fit for Bates. Lock Whithurst and Hasselbeck in a room and tell them only one of them can leave.

Trade for Orton( mebbe the Donkeys will take Hass???) Keep Charlie and if one of the Top QBs is available in the draft…nab him…I really had/have hope for Charlie, if he can win Sunday and produce a decent playoff effort, all may not be lost in the investment. I could live with Orton for a year or two if we find a good QB via the draft.

We stuck with Matt over this season, and we go blown out so may times…and he’s the “veteran”. I say we play Charlie through all next season and see if something finally clicks. That’s what Holmgren did with Hasselbeck, even though everyone was talking about Matt like we are now talking about Charlie. Get our money’s worth with Whitehurst, and if it doesn’t work out at the end of next season, his contract won’t be renewed anyway. I’m tired of such chaotic moves like the eating of Houshmanzadeh’s salary so we can pay for him to either play nowhere or for another team. Charlie is a sunk cost, so we need to see if he’s worth it.

What is the fix for our horrendous defense? I always looked at our D as seriously under rated, but these last couple years have been really difficult to stomach. I don’t see a lack of talent really, but we are getting mauled!

In 2011, the Seahawks will:
“14%
Start Charlie Whitehurst and develop a rookie.
99 votes”

God Bless America. Only in America are you allowed to have watched Charlie Whitehurst play and still think a team would begin a season expecting him to be the starting QB. This says to me that only 86% of FG readers have a television that works on Sundays. Perhaps there are a lot of 7th day’ers here.

Trade for Tebow.

Trade Whitehurst and our 1st round pick to Philly for Kolb.
