Vernon Adams

[sekiuHAWK]

Has anybody selected Vernon Adams yet? We need a backup QB...

 

[Hasselbeck]

Not yet, hes projected to be undrafted though.. so will be interesting to see if he's drafted at all.

If he's not I have to imagine Seattle would be in on him immediately in UDFA

 

[Jimjones0384]

Crossing my fingers as well. Love the guy, but hope he goes undrafted. If he does, and the hawks call him, you know he is going to be a seahawk. He is by far the best qb on the board.

Outside of the minor stink of duck on him, I like this kid, I hope the Hawks jump on him quick if he doesn't get drafted. With our O-line issues it would be nice to have a back up with escapability.

One has to assume the Hawks are #1 on his list if he goes undrafted because

A) location
B) competition

Hawks might as well just let it play out

Disagree. Dude doesn't want to be a backup. If he's undrafted I think he'll go somewhere be thinks be could be the starter. San Francisco maybe.

Didn't the 2000's teach you that Pete Carroll can out-recruit the Ducks whenever he wants?

Favorite schools aside, I can't believe Cody Kessler went in the 3rd round. I wouldn't have thought he'd get drafted. What did you think?

I was floored. Then I remembered it was Cleveland and it made sense.

Never in a million years would I have thought Cody Kessler would be drafted earlier than Matt Barkley. Happy for him but.. yeesh.

If Adams wants to start in the NFL, his best shot would be a team with an often injured QB. As much as I'd hate to see it Dallas would be a good fit for him. If Tony "Made of glass" Romo snaps that clavicle again, which is likely, that would be a pretty secure spot.

I don't see it happening though.

Looks like he will be in Rookie tryouts

Rookie minicamp tryout? Hawks killing it again. Getting the second best QB in the draft on the cheap!

I disagree, he just wants to get into the NFL. He's never, not even once, said he should start right away. It would be a great thing for him to sit and learn from Wilson for a few years, then sign with another team and get a real shot. I'm sure he knows this also.

If your a competitive athlete you don't settle for shit, I would not want anyone on my team that wants to simply be there. If he can perform in pre season and we all know how shit happens and a Starter goes down he can wow and get traded or picked up. That's THE HARD WAY, but a chance. Daniels found a way, if Adams is everything he thinks he is he will come out swinging and not sitting on his hands happy to be on a roster for try outs.

Not second best. But yea killing it.

"Sitting" behind Russell Wilson would hardly be sitting.

Rolling out at 5 a.m. for film study with Russ while learning an NFL
playbook would be like a PHD in quarterbacking. Best preparation for
a young QB I can imagine him having.

In quarterback years, Adams is still young enough to become a
desirable player when his first contract expires. What is a free agent
contract? three years, four?

If a player, a quarterback especially, is doing well the word gets around
even if he is not starting

I so hope the front office invites this kid into camp.

Plus FA qb are suddenly getting paid crazy money these days, for maybe having one good game.
