Seattle names Russell Wilson starting QB

Pete Carroll and John Schneider were overjoyed during the April NFL draft when the Seattle Seahawks were able to grab Russell Wilson in the third round.

Even they couldn't anticipate that Wilson would be the Seahawks' Week 1 starter.

Carroll announced Sunday night that the undersized, but highly successful rookie quarterback from Wisconsin will be the starter when the Seahawks open the regular season on Sept. 9 at Arizona. Wilson beat out Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson — in the process of being traded to Buffalo — for the starting gig.

Thoughts, should we be glad they are going with the rookie? He has looked very good.

I was hoping they would go back to Tarvaris Jackson!!

Carrol changes his mind on his starting QB more times than i change my jeans.

he`s looked good in Pre-season by most accounts. so did Lewis for us last pre-season. let`s see what he does when the real action starts and all opposition teams D`s have their best players on the field,gunnin` for him.

I like the fact they are starting a rookie, sure he may play lights out. But they are taking the chance that he may not.
