The Seahawks have been searching for a new quarterback. Last year, they decided to part ways with then quarterback, Matt Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck struggled to match his best year under Seattle, which was the year of their Super Bowl run.
In their search for a new QB, the Seahawks turned to Tarvaris Jackson. In my opinion, this was just a temporary replacement. In a full season with Seattle, Jackson was able to improve on his game, at least from what he showed with the Minnesota Vikings. As the season progressed, Jackson’s game seemed to evolve. I believe he started feeling more comfortable, as he developed a sense of job security.
That confidence may soon fade with two key additions this offseason. In comes free agent Matt Flynn and rookie draft pick Russell Wilson.
So, what do these additions mean for Jackson and the Seahawks? Let’s take a look at what all three of these competitors can bring to the table.

Seattle's 3-way QB competition filled with debate
Every day since the start of training camp, either Matt Flynn, Russell Wilson or Tarvaris Jackson have cycled to the podium in front of a Seahawks backdrop and been asked to handicap the three-way race to be the starting quarterback in Seattle.

While it is still the offseseason, and preseason looming right around the corner, some of the rookies are starting to step up.

This is a new age in football where stars are younger and younger, and better players are being started...

On Christmas Eve 2011, Braylon Edwards and his 49ers teammates went into Seattle and held off the Seahawks, improving their record to 12-3, and enhancing their odds at getting a first round playoff bye.
Three days after the game, in which he had one catch for nine yards in the second quarter, Edwards was cut by the 49ers.
It was a meek end to an equally meek run for one of...
