TJ! TJ! TJ! (Press Conference)

[TriCHawk]

I was NOT on the T-Jack bandwagon 2 years ago when we picked him up. I wasn't pleased about that at all, because he's a mediocre qb, and as we all saw in '11, holds on to the ball just a little too long. On the same token, I understood why the team grabbed him at the time. He was mobile and young, and Hass would have gotten killed behind that O-line.

I am definitely on the bandwagon for T-Jack as a back up though. He will beat out Brady Quinn handily. TJ already knows the system, knows the players, and knows the coaches and he suits the offense much better for what the 'hawks are trying to do. So, mediocre as a starter, but I would say well above average as a back up.

I would hate to see RW ever go out with injury, but I feel much more confident with TJ in there than just about any back up we could get, considering the other weapons we already have.

Really, I don't have time to go into all that come on man, if you really think 7-9 is a good record for a QB than he is your man. Name one player that is not hurt during the year. Saying he sucks is harsh I admit and is not a good word to use. I think Kirk Cousins Chade Henne are decent backups but I will get shot down as I am not on the TJACK bandwagon.

Dude, its ok not to know much about this. No one is bashing on your because you dont love TJack. Theyre bashing you because you called a .500 qb a third string at best. You do know that you want a .500 qb as your back up. Thats universally accepted. Theyre bashing on you because you would rather have Henne. Which completely goes against your W-L philosophy that is somehow your definer for QB's. Kirk Cousins has minimal amount of work to even be considered in the conversation.

Any back up qb looks great the first time they play because other teams have zero study material on them. See Charlie Whitehurst. See Matt Flynn.

And honestly. Henne? Chad F'n Henne. Over TJack. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Okay Henne is a stretch but I think Cousins is a good one. Yes I don't go into the numbers just what I see on the field and I did not see much that impressed me much(yes he did play with an injury). Okay if he is on the team than I will root for him if he plays( I hope not as RW is one of the best in the league).

TJack with the torn pec getting us to 7-9 was much better than the alternative.

Don't bother with him. The only time he shows up is to bash Tjack. I honestly don't remember him posting in any orher threads about a different topic. I kind of think he is Whitehurst.

Whatever, only player I have talked negative is about Jackson, not a fan sorry, Whitehurst was even worse. Don't be a douche. Like the team a lot looks very good hope Harvin's injury turns out to be not bad.

TJack with the torn pec getting us to 7-9 was much better than the alternative.

And lets not forget that one of those games, CW played and lost to the browns 3-6. A game without a doubt that TJack would have won putting the team record at 8-8.

I am with you on the CW, he was horrible. I hope I am totally wrong about Jackson and if he does make the team and play hope he wins multiple games for the Hawks. I will eat crow as long as it means the Hawks win. Hope no other QB plays for us in the next 10 years as RW is the man for the Hawks.

Bringing back T-Jack shows me what kind of a classy individual he is. The team traded him away, but he still seems to want to be here. Leads me to believe the team did right by him by trading him rather than making him compete with Flynn and the 'rook' because there was a chance he could start in Buffalo. Either way, the guy is all class, and I'm glad I'm rooting for him to hold the clipboard for us for a long time.

 

[bestfightstory]

He looked thinner than I remember him from the past.

He has readied himself for excellence in execution of the read option.

Chad Henne? Seriously????? Holy cowzarini. I honestly will never get the folks who have no problem saying one of our players suck, but then say we'd be better off with Chad Fidoodling Henne. It boggles my mind. Henne is a real piece of work. His own teammates hate him at every stop. That says a lot. Is that the guy you want to come in and rally the troops and to communicate with the first string QB? I sure don't. I want a guy that is respected and is a team player. They come in if needed and do much more if they are respected. Look at Trent Dilfer when he was our backup. Perfect example. Not the greatest QB, but we had a really solid backup. Same with Seneca Wallace. I'd say TJ is better than either of those guys, and we got to a Superbowl with Matt backed up by Seneca. Now we have Wilson/Jackson/Quinn and people are complaining and saying Chad Henne is better? YIKES.

I think it's going to be a long season.....

 

[pehawk]

From now on, anyone that ISN'T on board with TJ as a backup, will forever be known as a know-nothing douchebag in my book.

He's got an 8-8 skill set and the personality all players will rally behind and win for. I.e., a GREAT back-up. We're very lucky to have Tjack, period.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Great guy, but not so good QB.

Not a soul on this board is arguing otherwise.

Move on plz?

 

[SharkHawk]

Chad Henne is neither a great guy or even a marginal QB. He's piss poor at both things.

 

[TorontoHawk]

Just one question, what will you guys do if they do cut Jackson? Not to argue just a question.

 

[Cartire]

Move on with our lives. If Quinn somehow does beat him out (wont happen), then must be way better then he's lookin right now. So win-win.

All the reports does not look good for Quinn, to bad he was a good QB for the Irish, not sure what happened. All I can say I hope all of our players turn out to be top notch.

All Notre Dame quarterbacks not named Joe Montana suck.

Joe Theismann was a good one, but Montana is still the best QB I think that has ever played. What about Rick Mirer?

 

[scutterhawk]

I guess half of the head coaches in the league do not know football as they don't want him either. I think we could do way better for a backup QB.

What are you even talking about? How do you know who they want? TJack hasnt spent more then a few days on the open market ever. So where do you read that half the coaches dont want him? You have dont have to make stuff up around here to sound cool.

Sound cool? how does making shit up sound cool??
As has already been mentioned, Jackson won more games for the Seahawks during the last Season that he played for us, and he did it with a less than stellar O-line, and in fact, Hasselbeck was pulled in his first Year, in favor of putting Trent Dilfer in to pull the Seahawks out of the nose dive.
I will wager one thing good about having Jackson back in the line-up, and that is, Russell Wilson will undoubtedly have a huge role in making corrections in some of Jacksons play, because that's how Wilson rolls. (leaving notes on the Receivers/Tight ends etc.) because he's team first, and he sure as hell isn't afraid of losing his job as the Seahawks starting Quarterback anytime in the foreseeable future.

 

[travlinhawk]

I like him. He took an absolute beating for the team kept getting up for more. He is "Rocky" to me. Glad to see him back! I hope its RW & T-jack for the foreseeable future.
