here's how a joint committee of AP sports writers accessed the situation in Seattle regarding Peyton Manning... "Seattle has its franchise running back in Marshawn Lynch, and seems to be solid on the outside with receivers Sidney Rice, Mike Williams, Doug Baldwin and tight end Zach Miller. The offensive line is young and improved, but the remaining question for Seattle's offense is at quarterback. Tarvaris Jackson toughed his way through a painful pectoral injury for more than half of last season, but was never overly impressive. Manning could be the answer. Still, Jackson has never been given much of a chance as a starter and played fairly well while battling his injury and was respected in the locker room."
and here is how the situation in Seattle for Manning was described by Michael Silver (Yahoo! NFL.Analyst since 2007, before that he had been with Sports Illustrated as a senior writer and a lead NFL writer since 1994) "If Manning is looking to recede from the spotlight, at least to the extent that he can, the NFL’s most remote locale is an enticing prospect. I like Seattle’s running game (especially with the team having signed Marshawn Lynch to a lucrative, four-year deal) and overall potential, but there are plenty of things that make me dubious about this arrangement. Manning might be able to coexist with coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell (who had mixed results amid the Brett Favre madness in Minneapolis), but he’d almost certainly regard offensive line coach Tom Cable as a clueless clown. Plus, he’d have to face that 49ers defense twice a year, which doesn’t sound all that fun. Oh, and this just in: It rains up there. A lot."
poorly. I'd think...but Miami was the other one in the bidding war for him and they just lost a Pro Bowl WR
honestly, I hate the Cowboys but if Flynn was their QB (he is from East Texas), I would be a huge fan and I think he'd be awesome there.
Seattle can be a force in that division. They would have beaten the doors off of SF last year if Flynn had been their QB. They were dreadful behind center.
Seattle is definitely a better landing spot than Miami atm. Good defense, good receivers, good running back. O line is mediocre, but they're not going to kill Flynn either
I just would rather Flynn not have wound up on the same team as Pete Carroll. It interferes with my rooting against them in a wide variety of circumstances. I heard 8 digits of guaranteed money, though? Good for him.
