Most coaches welcome a quarterback controversy as they would an infectious disease.
RENTON – Nobody asked Tarvaris Jackson if the Seattle Seahawks needed more talent at quarterback. But he has two new competitors breathing down his neck for the starting job.
The most heartfelt interview I mined from the Seahawks’ locker room last fall came courtesy of Anthony Hargrove.
A day after the draft, for a second consecutive season the Seattle Seahawks’ efforts were mostly panned by draft analysts around the league.
Beast Mode, meet the Incredible Hulk. The Seattle Seahawks appeared to resolve their desire to have a beastly backup for Marshawn Lynch, drafting bruising Utah State running back Robert Turbin in the fourth round of the NFL draft on Saturday.
The calls in the night were the worst.

Bruce who? For the second season in a row, the Seattle Seahawks’ first-round selection elicited gasps and furrowed eyebrows from NFL observers and the team’s fans.

Uniqueness or versatility? That question piqued the interest of Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll when asked which trait his organization valued more heading into this evening’s NFL draft.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That would be Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider’s sentiment toward the suggestion that Seattle break up the team’s Pro Bowl safety tandem of Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor by drafting a safety in the first round and moving Chancellor to outside linebacker.
Veteran linebacker Barrett Ruud signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks during free agency to replace David Hawthorne, the team’s leading tackler the past three seasons who inked a long-term deal with New Orleans.
Rob Gronkowski’s record-setting season may have bumped up University of Oregon tight end David Paulson’s draft value.
Chris Polk said he developed his relentless running style while watching boyhood idol Emmitt Smith grind out extra yards for the Dallas Cowboys.
