Seahawks name Russell Wilson their starting quarterback
You're welcome.
-The Kansas City Chiefs Defense. ____________ Posted by Josh Alper on August 26, 2012, 10:01 PM EDT http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...g-quarterback/ AP The Russell Wilson Era in Seattle is officially underway. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll announced Sunday night that Wilson will start against the Raiders in the preseason finale and will start again in Week One against the Cardinals. The news was hardly unexpected after Wilson got the start against Kansas City and played like the starting quarterback that the Seahawks have been looking for all summer, but it is still surprising since the third-round pick was seen as the third choice in the competition with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson. Flynn got $10 million in guaranteed money as a free agent this offseason and Jackson was the incumbent starter, but Wilson wound up with the job. On a conference call, Carroll said it was because he earned the job with his play and his ability to fix things on the fly. “This is an extraordinary kid. He just kept knocking us out with what he brought,” Caroll said, via the team. “I’ve watched our team respond to him and they’ve taken to his leadership style.” Jackson’s trade to the Bills still isn’t official, but Carroll said that the team expects it to go through. Flynn will remain as the No. 2, the same job he held behind Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. |

Clark couldn't give me season tickets for free as long as MC is the starting QB.

We took Donald Stephenson instead of Russell Wilson. Donald freaking Stephenson.
Can't have Pioli's boy Matty C. feeling the pressure of a quarterback with talent waiting in the wings, I guess? |

Stop acting like Wilson won this job solely on his play against the Chiefs.
He was making plays in the first two preseason games, and Carroll was just using that game as the final evaluation.

You are one ueseless ****ing tool.
You should do something productive, like a self vasetomy. Wilson has talent. He was making good decisions. He was going to win that job, regardless of team because of those considerations.

What where they evaluating? ...how the away jerseys looked on him? If it was truly a "final evaluation" as YOU claimed...could the Chiefs have made the evaluation process a bit more difficult? I think it we played better and forced Wilson into some poor decisions and forced a couple of turnovers that he wouldn't be named the starter...yet. It's a lot easier to come out to your fan base and name the guy who went 13/19 185 yards and 2 TDs as the starter compared to if he went 8/21 77 yards and 2 ints... Chiefs had NOTHING to do with this decision. Dumbass.
