Seahawks sign J.P. Losman

[sigpro]

Former Bills, Raiders QB Losman agrees to terms with Seahawks

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

And cut Reilly and I suspect Teel won't be far behind...

 

[Pottsie]

Losman? Really? He sucks. This bites. The only good thing about this offseason has been the draft we had.

lol right after the story that reilly could beat out Teel for the 3rd spot.

Still think Teel is better than clipboard holder and JP

Agreed, about Teel being better than Jp but im still not sure how i feel about Whitehurst.

 

[szat]

Just more "healthy competition". I wonder what the terms are.
J.P. may beat out teal for that 3rd spot.

I heard he gets 2 meals guaranteed from Taco Bell, a free Seahawks pen and a "my name is" sticker that says "J.P. Jackass" on it as well. He also gets to share a helmet like in the Waterboy with Julius Jones.

Teel is officially gone...

that pisses me off Teel did damn good last preseason.

QB in the next draft? Without Teel they need youth at the position.

 

[SeahawkWag]

Move makes no sense

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

I guess that'll take care of all the "put Teel in!" comments... :wave:

 

[szat]

Say what you will about J.P. I think bringing him in brings 3 potential starters to the roster.

Training camp will be competative and if something happens to matt, these two guys will battle for that back up spot.

I still think the order as of now is:

1. Matt
2. Whitehurst
3. Losman

and not alot of margin between any of them.
Im even excited for pre-season!

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

Teel is a Patriot now.

What if Patriots develop Mike Teel? - NFC West Blog - ESPN

I wonder if they can make anything out of him. I don't really recognize their other non-Brady QBs. He could make a push for the #2 spot.

 

[12thManFan]

Ugh...Losman, really?...He played for the Raider, Bills, and the Las Vegas UFL team...enough said!

 

[#ONE]

Dude, not saying I am a huge Losman fan, but I think Whitehurst and Losman is an improvement from last years back ups of Senecca and Teel.

At least now if Matt goes down, we won't have to automatically chalk up those games as loses.

I liked Teel, but there is a reason the team released him, we may not know or agree with it, but that's why we don't make millions of dollars to make those decisions.

 

[EricOV]

They keep saying that we released Teel because he wasnt a mobile quarterback...and we are going to be using a system that requires mobility.

sense when was Matt Hasselbeck Mobile?:glare:

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

Teel doesn't have a Super Bowl appearance, multiple division titles/playoff appearances, 3 Pro Bowls, and almost every franchise record to his name. You can sacrifice some mobility for those credentials.

Mike Teel had potential, But JP. Losman has even more potential right now than Teel would have had even with years of grooming.. Talent wise JP has a far higher upside then Teel had and that's what I think that Pete Carroll & his staff saw when they made this move...

Good point....

but if we have a starting QB that is not mobile then we cant claim that our system requires mobile QBs...

you know what i mean?

 

[SeahawkWag]

really1? JP topped out years ago. Teel outplayed clipboard in the preseason and has the same stats/record in regular season.
