08:06 AM ET 10.10 | With Tarvaris Jackson hurting and Charlie Whitehurst closing out Sunday's win, more questions are raised in Seattle. For the first four weeks of this season, the question was whether Whitehurst could spark Seattle's offense. When he entered the game Sunday, however, the challenge was to keep everything together. ... For anyone already convinced he would be an improvement over Jackson, the performance was validation that Seattle is starting the wrong quarterback. Whitehurst completed 11 of 19 passes for 149 yards and had no turnovers. But on a closer look, it appears Whitehurst wasn't quite as comfortable pushing the tempo as Jackson, and his touchdown throw didn't have a very high degree of difficulty.

Whitehurst is far better than Jackson. He deserves a shot.

New York fans don't have anything to celebrate, do they? The Seahawks victory is more about the Giants not getting the job done than it is about the Seahawks.

Well, one has to figure that Seattle does not have a serious commitment to winning when Tavarus Jackson is the starter and Charlie Whitehurst is the backup.

Just like the Yankees making the playoffs and then going golfing? or like the Yankees looking for another pitcher next year after CC bails on them?

I still really believe that the reason Jackson is starting is so the Seahawks can secure Luck, Barkley, or Landry Jones. That can be the only reason that Whitehurst is not the starter.
