I doubt that I've ever been so happy to see a preseason game. Even a Seahawks-Chargers game. A Vikings game might get me skipping a little quicker, but this is very cool. The Hall of Fame game usually kicks off the season, but that game was a casualty of the lockout. After five months of garbage, it's such a relief to finally be on this side of things. The football side.
It's strange to see Tarvaris Jackson on the Seahawks. Seattle coach Pete Carroll was an idiot to say that the Vikings jerked Jackson around for five years. It's not really Carroll's place to criticize the manner in which another team deals with their players. Beyond that, the man that bailed on his own sinking USC team really has no idea what he's talking about. Tarvaris Jackson was never able to secure the starting quarterback job in Minnesota. He would shine for a few plays, even an entire game, but he could never sustain it. He has the potential, but he frequently plays nervous. Looking uncomfortable. Joe Webb, in a couple of emergency starts late last season, played with more composure than Jackson ever did. Pete Carroll really should pay more attention to his own team. Last year, he traded a couple of high draft picks for Charlie Whitehurst to be his QB of the future. Giving Whitehurst no opportunity to win the job, he signs Tarvaris Jackson to be the starter. It looks to me like little Pete is doing to Whitehurst the very same thing that he accused the Vikings of doing to Jackson.
Enough of that. Football's back!
