This is the first I have heard of this, anyone else heard any resemblance of this rumor???

Dated Jan. 1st, 10:22AM ESPN Insider

Among the buzz in Seattle during another woeful season is centered around the questions of who will be at the helm in 2010. But that goes deeper than just one spot. The team needs a new general manager, and that GM could prefer to let Jim Mora go and hire his own guy. And that new head coach could prefer to start over at quarterback as soon as possible, which would also spell the end for Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle.

While it's not common for a coach to get just one year, the Hawks have nine wins in two years after winning nine or more for four straight seasons, and if they had a chance to to grab Bill Cowher or John Gruden out of the broadcast booth this offseason, passing just to be "fair" to Mora would seem foolish.

But what about the QB position? The Seahawks have two first-round picks in April, giving them ample chances to draft the heir apparent and giving Hasselbeck another year isn't out of the question by any means. The free agent route isn't likely unless Hasselbeck is released or traded, but there's also the idea that Hasselbeck, in the final year of his contract next year, could restructure that final year's salary to help the team's cap situation and give him some more guaranteed money and an extra year while the young QB comes in and learns the system.

can't see it myself, but you never know. Matt has taken the blame for a beat up and inconsistent O-line. I personally think he's still a great qb and would like to have him back for one or two more years. I, like many many other hawk fans would love to see Mora gone instead.

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
