Let J.P. Losman start

    As an add on to my post last night, I was thinking of what Seattle should do if Matt Hasselbeck can in fact not start against St. Louis. This game again being for a trip to the playoffs.

    Like I said before, Charlie Whitehurst has been so bad this season and Seattle has no chance to win with him under center. There are three quarterbacks on Seattle's roster. Hasselbeck, Whitehurst, and a player who has not seen any time this year, J.P. Losman.

    Losman was a former first round pick in 2004 by the Buffalo Bills. He was originally a student at UCLA and on the Bruins football team, but transferred to Tulane. As a Green Wave, he was a star and earned a 1st round pick.

Losman as a Bill

    He had some starting experience, but is still considered a huge bust. Never playing up to expectations. He did sometimes show flashes of potential, but never nearly enough. He then went to the UFL and led them to the first UFL championship ever. A short stint with Oakland then landed him in Seattle. He was released for a few weeks, but came back to the team and is still there.

    But what I am getting at, is that if Hasselbeck cannot play, Losman should start over Whitehurst. Losman has far more experience then Whitehurst. Much more. Whitehurst had not taken one snap in an NFL game until this year. And when he has played he has done awful.

    I know Losman has not played this year, but he has to be better then Whitehurst. I attended a training camp session in Renton, Washington where the Seahawks practice. While it was just one practice and was during the preseason, Losman was not bad.

    If Hasselbeck cannot play, Losman needs to start. Why not try him? He cant be worse then Whitehurst.

Marshawn Lynch To Seattle

    Bills RB Marshawn Lynch has been traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a 4th round pick in Aprils draft. The deal happened on Tuesday.

    This deal really helps both teams in my opinion. Bills fans wanted Lynch gone because of the off the field issues. Seattle gets a great running back, who is young, for next to nothing. But in the end, Seattle gets the better end here.

    Julius Jones was released by the Seahawks today to make room for Lynch. No suprise, and Jones should have been gone long ago.

    Lynch should be ready to play on October 17th for Seattle against Chicogo.


   

Trent Edwards to Jacksonville

    Trent Edwards was released by the Bills on Monday, and already has found a new home south of Buffalo. The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed Edwards off waivers on Tuesday.

    The Jaguars are 1-2, and the play of David Garrard is not helping. Luke McCown was the only other quarterback on the team. But in San Diego two weeks ago, McCown replaced Garrard only to then go down with a torn ligament that will keep him out for the whole season.

     Todd Bouman also was signed by the Jaguars. Though mostly just because he already knows the offence.

    Edwards, a third round pick out of Stanford in 2007. Always playing inconsistent in Buffalo and was constantly splitting snaps with Ryan Fitzpatrick. A fresh start in Jacksonville, and the guarantee of playing time with how bad Garrard is, could mean a chance for redemption and to get his career on track.

    Buffalo re-signed rookie QB Levi Brown to take Edwards spot.

    Overall, a good move by both Buffalo and Jacksonville. Although a more experienced quarterback might have been nicer. Maybe Jeff Garcia who right now is in the UFL could be a better pick up.

    New Orleans also signed 46 year old kicker John Carney, and Seattle signed veteran receiver Brandon Stokely while releasing RB Quinton Ganther, and OL Mansfield Wrotto and Mike Gibson.
