Hass simply doesn't buy the franchise that same amount of time due to his age (not due to his playing ability). I have at no point said that Hass sucked. But he is in decline. He's not the guy to lead us next season or the season after, when our team should be rising to contender status. That's why I think that this year, when so much else is in flux and we have so much turnover, should be the year when we find out what our future at QB will be, and that starts with Whitehurst (but doesn't necessarily end with him). So now you're comparing CW to a future hall of famer? Ha. Ah ha ha.... HAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!! This is one hilarious post.

I think we should run the Seahawks in whatever fashion Dom sees fit.

I know you're asking Warner, but I'll answer it, too. I don't think there's much difference at this point in Hass' career. If the comparison was the Hass of 3-5 years ago, then he'd easily be worth several wins over an untested Whitehurst. As it stands this year? No, not really. _________________  Okay, so maybe that pass rush is still an issue. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I said you weren't being objective and you aren't.
Look at your posts in this thread, if you can honestly claim they are objective you need to get a dictionary.
And for the record, if all we are going to do is "Go with what Pete says" this .net might as well shut down operations.
I amitted Hasselbeck is on the decline. I said he probably won't be here next season. I'm not acting like a Hasselbeck is the only answer, he's just the best option right now. I know you dont care about winning this season, but I kinda do. Tell me in your honest opinion. Do you think we have a better chance of winning with Hass or CW? I have already given that honest opinion, I think Seattle is just as likely to win the division with Whitehurst as Hasselbeck. Whitehurst is probably the best QB in the division if he is starting, that is how bad everyone else is. And I do care about winning this year, I am just realistic and understand that anything more than a really weak division title and quick playoff exit is unrealistic. I think Seattle can do both with Whitehurst and it would be far more beneficial long term without sacrificing 2010. Basically I think Seattle is a 5-9 win team regardless of rather Charlie or Matt starts but I do think Charlie is more likely to explode and actually think he has more potential to lead a playoff run if Seattle sneaks in but he needs to play first. That is my honest stance.

Well, i'm in no position to tell you you're wrong. You may very well be right. But I just feel that Hass is the better QB. Regardless of his embarrassing performance last week. I think he'll bounce back this sunday and everyone will shut up until he throws a couple more picks and we lose the game, collectively.

I would NEVER compare Matt Hasselbeck to Brett Favre, Kurt Warner or any future hall of famer. Maybe a Marc Bulger.

I got what you meant. I agree that it's a better comparison, and I'm saying that I wouldn't want Bulger as our QB right now, either. He's in serious decline, feels phantom pressure because of the hits he's taken behind a bad O-line for years, and got into the habit of trying to win by himself due to the lack of talent around him. Sound familiar? _________________ Okay, so maybe that pass rush is still an issue. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Sound familiar? Well.. I'm sure there are a few people who would take Bulger over Hasselbeck. Bulger is 33, Hass 35. So maybe he has another year left in the tank. Besides, Bulger is signed by Baltimore.

When Kurt Warner was given the opportunity, he took advantage of it. CW hasn't.

Warner got his because Green was injured, after that Warner played with the starters, Whitehurst has played with the starters how many times? Its pretty hard to argue that Charlie has gotten an opportunity yet.

In other words, when given the opportunity to show something in real games, he performed better than he had in preseason or in camp against the incumbent starter. _________________ Okay, so maybe that pass rush is still an issue.
