It's quite obvious that the Seattle Sehawks are going to be in the running for a top 10 draft pick this season and more importantly need a franchise quarterback. Tavaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst are average quarterbacks at best and are certainly not the future signal caller of Seattle.
The Seahawks won't get Andrew Luck just based off the fact that the Dolphins are horrible and at best will win 2 games, which is the same amount Seattle has which will result in Andrew Luck going to the Dolphins. Therefore, the Seahawks will have to split hairs between Landry Jones and Matt Barkley. Both quarterbacks are big, non-athletic, have tremendous arm strength, As for differences Barkley is in a more pro-style offense but I still feel he's overrated and is highly inconsistent and will be Andy Dalton-essque which means he won't wow you and can't take over a game. Barkley NEEDS a running game to be successful, but the big plus for him over Jones is that he will be somewhat familiar with the pro-style offense and played under Pete Carrol at USC.
Landry Jones plays in a spread style offense at Oklahoma and will take a bit longer to get accustomed to the speed and language of a pro-style offense. Landry Jones is bigger than Barkley and has a smidgen more of arm-strength and has proven to be more durable. Landry Jones is definitely the quarterback Seattle needs and is a franchise style quarterback.
If I were the Seahawks GM I would pick Landry Jones over Matt Barkley mainly because he's more of a game changing quarterback, is bigger, has the better arm, more durable, and is a franchise type quarterback. Barkley is overrated and at best can manage the game not mistakes, but won't be able to take over the game. Alright Seattle you've got your lineman of the future now get your quarterback of the future. Next Wednesday's Seahawks blog will focus on the Seahawks second round draft will it be a skill position finally? A running back? Is Marshawn in his last year at Seattle? Wait till next weeks blog.
