Obtaining Whitehurst proves costly for Seahawks

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 17, 2010 6:02 PM ET

For better or worse, the first years of the Pete Carroll era in Seattle will be defined by Charlie Whitehurst.

ESPN's Mike Sando reports that the Seahawks will move down 20 picks in the second round of this draft and give a third-round pick in 2011 to get Whitehurst.

But that's not the costly part.

The Seahawks have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Whitehurst that is expected to pay him $5 million-per-year. Wow.

Whitehurst has not attempted a regular season pass as a pro, but he should fairly soon with that contract.

Give Carroll and G.M. John Schneider credit for targeting their guy and having the confidence to go get him. They just better be right.

Hope Pete knows what he's doing.

Norv Turner is one hell of an O Coordinator and developer of QBs but this may be a bit too much faith.

Don't forget he's also had Ramsdell as his QB coach - who was also in that position during the Vermeil/Martz years in STL.

I am loving the moveup in the 2nd though ... now a Cody/Matthews combo could be more of a reality. As far as the 3rd in 11 goes, if it keeps up we may just have that whole round (ours, Jets, and Hawks)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
