Yeah, you don't sound like a "complete doucher" at all...

Okay. Now let's trade him to Denver for Marshall.

I believe he sees it as bad... He's also against drafting Clausen and Bradford with the #6 or #14 picks. In that sense, if picking up Whitehurst changes that philisophy, it's good. However, the Seahawks got mauled in this deal. They gave up too much for Whitehurst. Not a good start, Schneider, Carroll, and Co.

If we trade Sims, I hope we net a third, doesn't Cleveland have a bunch of them?

It is a QB driven league. The FO identified a player they feel can been the QB of the franchise for the next 5-8 years and did what they had to to get him. Did they overpay? Who am I to say, but the people that get paid to run the team feel he was worth the cost so I'll believe he is worth it. Bradford will be gone by our first pick, and Clausen was never going to be a Seahawk. Colt? Back up in this league most likely. Who else do you have behind Hass after this year? They had to get someone to get some time behind Hass before next year. And as for next year's QB crop, who knows who would be available when the Seahawks pick.
As for the contract length, it is a hedge in case the Seahawks are wrong about Whitehurst so the cap isn't screwed up a few years from now with a bunch of dead money for a player they have since cut. If they are correct about him like they think they will be, that contract will be extended without worry. Money is never an issue for Mr Allen, just so long as it doesn't hose the cap with a bad contract. 2010 is a get out of jail card for a lot of teams with their contracts. The Seahawks are trying to avoid making the same mistakes with contract hits like they did with TR when a player is fading or didn't hit like he was expected to.

Hmmm... the last time we spent a 3rd rounder on a QB didn't work out so well, either... Though I think the "team history" argument is worthless unless the same people are doing the drafting.
I like that we're no longer completely desperate for a QB... but I really hope CW is the answer there, because if he doesn't end up being a good starter for us we got ripped off...

I like this move way better than drafting one of the QB's in this years draft. At least if he doesn't work out they aren't on the hook for 50 million guaranteed!
The only people that really know what they got are the Chargers...But I'm confident that the GM and coach know something the rest of us don't.
They are going to cull more of Ruskells mistakes before they are done, I believe they will get more picks before the draft.
Now if they had signed McNabb or Vick to this same deal I would be pissed!
No one on here really knows what will happen, but I like these moves better than over paying for washed up, broken down players from other teams...
Like has been done the last five years.

They still have Kyle Orton on the roster. So why would they want Charlie boy? On a side note, I hope Charlie W. is better than the last Charlie the Hawks had at QB. You know, Charlie Frye.

That's what the Hawks would receive if he signed elsewhere and the Hawks didn't match. Sims had a good year (last year) but I doubt anyone would give anything higher than a 4th rounder for him.

I don't like it, I think the Seahawks gave up way too much for him. Hopefully he turns out to be great but my initial thoughts are that I don't like it (not him but what what the Hawks had to give up for him).
I think this also means that Charlie may be the starter, even though the FO will state that Hass still is, they will say "Charlie will challenge for the starting spot".
