So not only are the Seahawks swapping second round picks with the Chargers and sending them a 3rd rounder in 2011, they are shelling out $5 million a year to Charlie Whitehurst over two years. Some might call that “Quarterback of the future” talk. It certainly raises some questions…
What if Charlie throws like a girl? Not really, couldn’t resist that. He has not thrown a pass in the NFL (in game type stuff) since coming into the league in 2006.
What does this do for Matt Hasselbeck? Chances are nothing for 2010. He is the best chance they have for putting wins on the board.
How about from a Fantasy Football standpoint? Some Dynasty owners who have had Whitehurst collecting dust on a Taxi Squad or backing up Philip Rivers may have just cashed in depending on how long, or if, before he takes over the gig.
Are the Seahawks out of the running for Jimmy Clausen? They could still take him. Moving back to the late 2nd round they could also take a swing at Tim Tebow if they wanted to. You have to think with the money they are giving Whitehurst they have big enough plans not to draft a QB too early.
