But if that were the case, I guess I'll just have to disagree with you in that I do believe Tarvaris would still give us a decent chance of winning. Hell, he went .500 in 2011 with a team that hadn't reached its talent threshold yet. We've basically only seen him in the preseason games and even that's been limited as Russ never seems to want to leave the field.rideaducati":2fkekga5 said:Siouxhawk":2fkekga5 said:I'll keep an open mind about Boykin, but I know Tarvaris has been a reliable member of this team and appreciated by this team for 4 out of the last 5 years and there's enough of a sample size on him to know that we'd be better than a .500 team with him behind center for a relief role if Russ went down for a length of time. My guess is that he has an understanding with Pete and John that if nothing tickles his fancy as far as money on the free agent market, he'll be back prior to June's mandatory minicamp for a modest $1.6 million deal or thereabouts for one year. I'd welcome that.
I'd be fine with Tarvaris as backup as long as he never has to play. If Russell goes down, I'm sure Tarvaris would end up being a backup to whoever they signed off the street within a week or two. I just hope they sign the guy off the street before the season starts and that they never offer another contract to Tarvaris.
Tarvaris was never a reason the Seahawks won a game, but he was definitely a reason they lost several. I would rather see a backup capable of being a reason the Seahawks won games instead of hoping they don't lose with Tarvaris. Tarvaris offers NOTHING to help the team win. Kam Chancellor at QB would give me more hope for a win. Opponents would respect Kam's throwing ability more than they would Tarvaris.
