Peter Edlund recaps the career of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Brady Quinn. No, not the NFL career. The endorsement. Quinn is a below-average player from an above average university of arrogance. Edlund is not a fan of Quinn or Notre Dame, but he’s willing to welcome the QB to the Seattle family. As long as he only sees the field in blowouts, of course.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Jordin Ereth brings us his reasons why Russell Wilson is Seattle’s first FRANCHISE quarterback. He says the Seahawks have had Jim Zorn, Matt Hasselbeck, and Dave Krieg. All had great careers, but were never really considered “franchise quarterbacks.” Russell Wilson will surpass them all. With his time spent in the film room, it wouldn’t surprise to see a career passer rating in the triple digits either. Watch out record books.

That being said, and considering the Seahawks face an important home game this weekend against Arizona, I’d like to take a deeper look at what the Seahawks-Cardinal rivalry has become.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens weighs in today with some comparisons on the QB position in Seattle. He’s not saying Russell Wilson will have the type off career that Matt Hasselbeck had in Seattle, but the next time you think to yourself “Russell isn’t working out,” realize that he has been better in almost every category than Matt was through 8 starts. Tarvaris Jackson, Trent Dilfer & Matt Flynn are also included in this post.
NWSB Insider and Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens brings us a good piece on the Seattle Seahawks today. QB Russell Wilson is under the spotlight. Work Ethic.

Brandon Browner, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, and Earl Thomas will do their best to disrupt him.

There was lots to love this week – Russell Wilson, Braylon Edwards and Zach Miller, but there were also some things to hate with Jon Ryan’s punt and the ensuing punt coverage and the lack of chances that Matt Flynn took.
