Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has gone out of his way to create a sense of competition at quarterback this spring. We've heard a lot about field work being split equally between last year's starter Tarvaris Jackson, rookie Russell Wilson and the team's big free-agent signing, Matt Flynn. The average Seahawks fan would like to see Flynn emerge as the clear leader, but at least one teammate says that hasn’t happened. Seattle wideout Doug Baldwin delivered a first-hand account Saturday, telling ESPN Radio's Liz Mathews that "as for Matt Flynn right now it's hard to tell the distance between him and Tarvaris Jackson, not as clear-cut as people might think" Source: NFL.com
If I were on the Seahawks and Tarvaris Jackson's the QB week one....I'd be PISSED. You know what you've got in Jackson and let's face it, healthy or not he's not the guy that's going to be the long-term answer for any team. They need Flynn to play and play well. Anything less is a major step back for this team.
I said it multiple times, Philbin knows Flynn more than anyone outside the Packers. There must have been a reason why they let him walk. Flynn wanted bigger money than the Dolphins were willing to pay.
I don't know if that's Philbin thinking Flynn didn't have what it takes or Stephen Ross and Jeff Ireland having their heads up their asses, again.
People keep saying this and it's way off base, Ireland knows talent and listened to his HC on what fits his system, as for Ross, dude is a big mouth but keeps the decisions to his football people.
