Key Returning Players:
- Russell Wilson, QB
- BJ Daniels??
Key Free Agents:
- Tarvaris Jackson, QB
This position is pretty straightforward, maybe the easiest on the team outside of the specialists. Russell Wilson will be back and continue to improve, which is a scary thought for the rest of the league. I don't care what people say about the defense and Lynch helping Wilson, this team rests on him. If he's not in the lineup it will be very hard to win football games.
The only question really comes when talking about who will be the QB2. I, like others, had assumed that BJ Daniels would take over that role next season. He's been with the team since the picked him up off waivers from SF during the 2012 season. He has a similar skill set to Russell and seemed to play well in preseason. Then, we get Schneider saying that he's excited to see what BJ can do as a WR. Huh? Well, that throws a wrench into things doesn't it? Now, if BJ could take over Brian Walters' spot as a WR/PR/KR that would be great. BJ seemed to have good athleticism in college. He's not a big guy by any means, but if he's quick and shifty, he could get open. How good his hands are will be the main question. I also assume this position switch to mean that BJ wasn't performing well enough to be the QB2. Otherwise, why would you make the switch?
The easiest thing to do is resign Tarvaris for another season. He won't have the chance to be a starter anymore and seems to like it in Seattle. Tarvaris could hold down the fort for a few games if need be. Also, he'd finally be making less than Russell, once he gets his extension...no QB controversy! SEA will need to find a long term solution at QB2 in the future, however.
