Seahawk HC/QB Combos at the Carroll/Wilson Crossroads

We may have seen the last game Russell Wilson will play in a Seahawk uniform, although it is looking more and more likely that the band will be back together next season. The Pete Carroll/Russell Wilson partnership is remarkable for its length and success, whatever happens from here. It is exceedingly difficult for a team to have the combination of stability at head coach, ability at quarterback, and durability at quarterback. Those three factors have been at play with the Carroll/Wilson duo and of course they have more games started together than any other combination in franchise history. Russell Wilson has started 24 percent of all games ever played by this franchise. While the list shows a lot of injury fill-ins, that tells part of the tale. Whitehurst was the last injury fill-in before Geno Smith this year. Both Krieg and Hasselbeck missed significant time to injury. Compare to the Dennis Erickson era where even when he did find a decent QB, being able to start a healthy one was another matter. This chart includes playoff starts.
