If I were Tarvaris Jackson, I may be a tiny bit worried... You see, “Mister Excitement!” Better known by his real name Pete Carroll may have just echoed thee Coup de Grace upon Jackson’s future at Seattle?
Recall last year before that ‘lil Lockout thingy that Pete Carroll said re-signing Mathew Hasselback at Quarterback was Seattle’s Top priority! Yet when the NFL and its ‘Playuh’s got back together and Free Agency was decreed. The Seattle Seahawks left Hasselback free to look elsewheres - and immediately signed Jackson, the ex-Minnesota Vikings QB to a contract... Basically telling Hasselback to not let the door hit ‘em on the Keister!
And we all know that Matt went to the Tennessee Titans with a new three year contract instead; leading the Titans to a 9-7 record, the team’s first winning season since 2008.
And we also know that the Titans took Jake Locker No. 8 overall in the 2011 National Football League Draft, so Tennessee’s stocked at QB for the foreseeable future.
But back to Tarvaris, who Mister Excitement just stated publicly he’d be happy having ‘TJ back as his starter again next season. Along with mentioning how the foundations now been laid in Seattle - and the building blocks are in place for a future winning Franchise; Hmm?
As bewares Tarvaris, I hear from some ‘lil Birdie’s in Indiana, a one certain Mr. Peyton Manning may be available? As in perhaps the Indianapolis Colts will wish to trade Manning for a slew of future high ranking Draft Picks - in order to make way for possibly some guy named Eric Luck?
Then again may be the Seahawks would be bold enough to give up their No. 1 pick, Charles J.C. Whitehurst and ex-Seahawk QB Brock Huard to Indy as a package deal in order to upgrade its Quarterbacking position immediately!
As Seattle could theoretically keep Jackson as Manning’s back-up, Just-in-case... As after all ‘TJ’s used to sitting behind B-I-G name Starz, having held some guy’s clipboard named Brett “What Shoes?” Favre...
And it’s not like the New York Jets and Vikings didn’t go after a presumably future Hall of Famer QB, right? As after all Favre - when not busy texting pictures of his new shoes... Played the role of starting Quarterback for the ‘Viks and current Seahawks Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell; previously holding the same position at Minnesota.
And I’m told that Seahawks back-up QB Charlie Whitehurst appears to have an uncanny appearance to some Dude who got crucified... Which should make him fit in nicely in the Midwest, right? Not to mention ‘Ol JC’s started a few games in the NFL.
Meanwhile, Brock Huard should know Indy’s system - after all having been Manning’s understudy for the Colts circa 2002-03. So who better to teach rookie QB Eric Luck the ropes... Kind of a mentorship role like Tennessee hired Hasselback for his Heir-apparent Locker. As hey, if Huard doesn’t work out with Indy, he could always go back to his ‘lil radio show on KIRO with his Sidekick Mike Salk; as in Brock ‘N Soc!
Then again, may be, just may be? Pete Carroll and his steadily improving Seahawks will hang onto Jackson after all and instead focus upon using their upcoming 2012 NFL first-round Draft Pick on another pressing issue instead?
