Whitehurst - Traded to Seattle (1 Viewer)

[Hooper31]

(Rotoworld) The Tacoma News Tribune believes J.P. Losman is "far closer to being a game-ready productive quarterback" than Charlie Whitehurst. Analysis: Yikes. Losman spent the 2009 season in the UFL after sporting a 2:5 TD-to-INT ratio and 5.6 YPA in five games with the Bills the year before. The Seahawks new regime may have had a fine draft, but Chargers GM A.J. Smith pulled the wool over their eyes on Whitehurst. Assuming he stays healthy (a big "if"), Matt Hasselbeck may play out the 2010 season after all.

1. I don't think Seattle traded for Whitehurst cause he was supposed to be game ready in his first offseason with the team. 2. It is one sentence of an article from a beat writer in Tacoma at a time when training camp hasn't even started yet.

That comment came from Boling. He's not the Seattle beat writer. He's just a sports writer for the TNT. The TNT Seahawks beat writer is Eric Williams. That particular beat job has launched a few careers. Namely Mike Sando (now does the NFC West blog for ESPN) and John Clayton of ESPN.I don't understand why Rotoworld says that "THE TACOMA NEWS TRIBUNE BELIEVES".... Does it give the comment more veracity? Does it mean that the entire sports department at the TNT agrees? Somehow, I guess it wouldn't have the same impact if it read that "Tacoma sports writer Dave Boling believes"...

Does journalistic integrity exists for sites like Rotoworld? Is there any form of accountability? Guess not, and that's disappointing. Somewhere, Edward R. Murrow is nodding in agreement with me.

Apparently early practices have been more piles of suck from Whitehurst. Maybe he'll be so bad the Hawks will realize their mistake before the end of the season, for their long term prospects I hope they do.

Im not watching the game. His numbers look good, does he really look that bad again?

It's not so much that he looks that bad, it's that he is that bad/bitter

Very few down-the-field throws. His YPC is not great. You can chalk it up to being thrown in there, I suppose.

And yet he got his team into the playoffs, unlike the team he was traded from. Whitehurst >>> Rivers.

Seems like he is Derek Anderson redux. I think the low YPC vs. STL was by design - reduce the chance he does something dumb or gives up a big turnover. Wondering if Seahawks will take Locker if he is still there at 21 (or wherever they end up)
