 I've just realised he looks a lot like Barry Gibb.  Being in my 20's I don't know this... but did you guys have the BeeGee's?

Either you believe in the guy, in which case you try to sign him to longer than a two year deal - or you don't believe in the guy in which case you don't give up such high compensation.
Bad deal.

We still have a veteran backup and next year's QB class looks better. In the meantime, we can focus on other problem areas.

I would absolutely love to eat crow on this. As it stands now, if I'm a Charger fan, I'm laughing hysterically and dancing--and haven't yet cracked the champagne--my team just moved up 20 spots in a draft stocked in that range and aqcuired a likely high 3rd rounder next year for a guy that probably would never have done a thing on my team's roster.
The more I think about it, the more I think we got bent over and broom handled.

No, by my logic, we shouldn't get all worked up over spending a late 2nd/early 3rd round on a prospective starting QB just because he has no NFL regular season experience precisely because teams do it all the time. And they often do it with higher stakes, spending earlier picks and more guaranteed money. _________________ Okay, so maybe that pass rush is still an issue. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Examples of teams that have given up as much or more then we have for a 3rd string QB, in our case, one with no game experience I might add. Hell, has there been a team this year to use anything higher then a 3rd on a FA QB? Also, how is the #40 a late second? Its an early 2nd. Early enough to draft a stud RB or safety. _________________ My hair is a banshee, your argument is invalid. http://www.seahawknation.net

I don't think this was a bad move Matt had virtually no experience when Seattle traded for him and we gave up Ahman Green. Worst case scenario we get a back up QB with more upside that Wallace until next season when we could possibly draft the Kid from Washington. I think there was more pressing needs than quarterback that need to be addressed first like our line running game defense and wideout. With none of these things getting fixed quarterback wont matter.

Im Sorry but good god dude. I know your not drinking the cool-aid but don't pee in it eather some draft picks never work out and if you can get some one with half decent skills you go for it. He was on san deigo. not like he was the third stringer on the rams or lions. Come on Yes draft picks are important but they can also set your franchise back decades too look at the lions
