In the last of his contract, it seemed very obvious that he would not be back. One game against the Saints may have changed that notion. Should Pete Carroll bring Matt Hasselbeck back on a new contract?

Is Charlie Whitehurst the answer?
No of course not. So why not draft a guy and let him develop under Hasselbeck for another 2-3 years? The Seahwaks made the playoffs this year (albeit at 7-9) but who's to say they can't make an even stronger run next year? They have just as great an opportunity to improve in free agency as anyone else does.

Hasselbeck came up huge in a big game. Seattle would be silly to let him go just like that. They are division champs, and could build on it to have an even better year next year.

I think Seattle would be doing a huge disservice to its organization by keeping Hasselbeck around. Let him go out on this high note and have an opportunity to start elsewhere and keep his career going. Likewise, it's time to find out what Charlie Whitehurst is all about. They invested a lot into bringing the guy in Seattle, and he got them into the playoffs in the last game of the regular season against the Rams. They owe it to themselves to find out if he is the answer, and try and develop a young guy at the same time. It's time to move on, and not keep trying the same thing over and over.

Locker aint gonna fall that far in the draft I don't know about that. I don't see Locker as a very good NFL QB and I have a feeling NFL teams see that too. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he drops pretty far in the draft. He's the one with the low completion percentage and poor bowl game showings, right?

I really, really think they are setting the franchise back 2-3 years if they bring him back.

I think if they bring him back, they should make it clear they they're giving him the opportunity to earn a starting job, but it isn't his to lose. If they made him the starter, you know they'd have to make a move to Whitehurst at some point. Hasselbeck is best served entering the season with a backup's mentality, Seahawks or otherwise.
I don't want Locker. At some point you need to perform, and he has never performed well. I don't want Newton either, you're basically taking your franchise's direction for the next 5 years and flipping a coin. How about we go after Tyrod Taylor in the 3rd-4th round and try to snag an o-lineman at 10? Tyrod isn't going to be as physical as either Locker or Newton, but he's still athletic enough to make guys miss and is a better passer than both.
