    Tarvaris Jackson will end this season Sunday in Arizona the same way he began it: as Seattle's undisputed starting quarterback. Jackson outlasted the chants for backup Charlie Whitehurst early in the season. He came back from a strained pectoral muscle. He survived Seattle's 2-6 start, more than 40 sacks at the hands of opponents, and he has started more games this season than any of his previous five. And after all that, coach Pete Carroll says he's comfortable with Jackson as Seattle's starter going forward. "That's where we are," Carroll said. "That doesn't mean that we're not going to look at the draft really hard and all of the opportunities. We'll always do that at every position. But (for) T-Jack, understanding what this season has been like for him is really important."

    i was glad that t-jax finally got a chance to start a full season. i was always curious to see what he could do being 'the man' somewhere and not constantly looking over his shoulder.

    i have to say that i'm not sure he's ever going to be much more than he is right now, which is just a serviceable qb, probably best suited to be someone's solid #2.

    I'm just not seeing any improvement in the vision, decision making, and release that i was hoping to see and he's had plenty of time and now different coaching to take his game to the next level.

    I can't help but wonder where the Seahawks would be right now with Andy Dalton...

    Very interesting thought, they have a great homefield advantage, strong running game, physical defense that stops the run and above average talent at WR. I think they are a wildcard team with Dalton, or any type of consistency a QB for that matter

    Or if they resigned Matt Hasslebeck.

    Exactly. He would be perfect for them if they could get a playmaker out wide, someone who can actually stretch the field and ISN'T always hurt.
