My frustration is in the fact that I don’t see the offensive line as a finished project. That means all that money and draft picks to fix it may not have fixed it. So, what can be done? Admit it and pick another lineman at the top of the draft next year?

When you watch Tjack on the field, he strikes you as a quiet, confident leader. His team is very much in tune with him when he’s on the field. He has a strong arm, good mobility and does have a very good understanding of this offense. This pectoral injury has been a tough one (and apparently a pretty rare one for an nfl QB), so it’s been frustrating for him and us fans. When healthy, I think he presents a few different challenges for opposing defenses. BobbyK, with all due respect, you’ve been too hard on him. Yes he had a superior line in Minny, yes he had A. Peterson, yes he had a great defense to play behind, but you can’t deny that Childress was a basketcase to play for. Then the whole Favre situation?! I can barely recall a peep coming from Tjack then.

Now, I’m not saying he’s the savior…yet, but when you hear people refer to Caroll as wanting a QB to manage or be a point guard for the offense, it’s as if to say, I don’t need a Hero in this system, but rather someone that has a strong arm, can make all the throws, is mobile and tough and that’s just what he his.

IMO, draft the best available players period, with an eye for a QB or RB (I’m not sold on Lynch). I’m very interested to see if Thomas Clayton gets a few carries this week.

BobbyK-stop crying for Luck. I know he’s good, but hate the idea of ‘cheering’ for losing. It doesn’t make sense. Instead, why not embrace the 2nd half of the season as an opportunity to find out just exactly what we have and need while playing spoilers every chance we get. You never know about SF either, 1 half season does not make them all that. Remember, Holmgren got off to a rip roaring start with Kitna, only to finish lamely.

Pete Caroll and John Schneider are doing a great job. They haven’t hit on all the draft picks and free agent signings, but they’re way above the NFL average these last two years. We are overall considerably younger and that will pay big dividends down the road.

Defense needs another good game, we REALLY need to run and control T.O.P. and have Tjack maximize his opportunities when they present themselves. I’m expecting a very competitive game, but not sure if they’ll pull it out in the end.

Either way…GO HAWKS!!!

Kolb is underperforming, so is Flacco, Matty Ice, Eli Manning, and Romo. In contrast, TJack is a pleasant surprise. Its becoming apparent that he was grossly underrated by his detractors.

If Tarvaris continues playing like he played the last few games, he will undoubtedly be the starter for the first games of next season, regardless of who we draft. TJack succeeding as a starter is important to this team no matter who we draft. Any rookie QB we draft should be given a year to learn before starting. Being pushed on the field too early as a rookie is one reason TJack had such a shaky start to his career.

The past two games were indeed hard to watch, but IMO this season is much more fun to watch than those horrible Hasselbeck games we suffered through in 2010. Last year, our QB was looking old and fragile, and our O linemen were journeyman who we couldn’t wait to replace This year, our QB is a great comeback story, and our O linemen are youngsters who will improve game by game.

Even if we don’t get a playoff game, this season is a big step in the right direction. And Tarvaris is a good comeback story in the making.
