ClevelandRocks Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Well we do need both a qb and a wr, but is he actually good as either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRex223 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hes a guy that knows Holmgrens offense like the back of his hand. Hes a pretty decent QB too. He could start, but i hope not. I think Holmgren has bigger plans. Â Good move, we'll see a totally different offense out there if Holmgrens going to be this much hands on.

I think Holmgren has bigger plans. Good move, we'll see a totally different offense out there if Holmgrens going to be this much hands on.   I'm not sure this is considered "hands-on". I'm sure they all got together collectively and discussed which players everyone was familiar with and which would be worth a look. I'm kinda torn on this move. I like a pure passer but I guess Seneca is "good enough". But this doesn't look like the end of our QB problem. Speaking of which, I wonder if DA was part of this trade? Getting sent back home?

CLEVELandMILIDH Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I dont really know what to think...yet. Â Yea I'll wait to see what we gave up for him before I form an opinion. Its probably for that 5th rounder that we could have got Troy Smith for. Really dont no what to think about this other than I would rather have Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopaji Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Been reading some quote from some Seattle fans, saying he's the best backup in the NFL? Â Â I remember he had the same label Rodgers had in GB. "When he gets his chance, he should be pretty good". But I can't imagine he is that great if Seatle was willing to part with him given Hasselback's injury history? Leads me to believe we may have dealt one of our QBs?

In 2008-09 dude threw 59% completion, 1500 yards, 11 TDs and 3 pics. I think I have one of those gut feelings The Walrus might of pulled one out here. Although he's only 5-11, 205? Hummm?

Kosar_For_President Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 There is a reply to me from someone on a Seattle board. Â "Yes we have traded Seneca to the Browns for an undisclosed pick in the 2011 Draft. Basically that means if Wallace plays a certain amount or performs to an agreeable status on the two sides will decide what pick we get. I would be surprised if he starts over Quinn, but he does know Holmgren's system and is a Holmgren guy. Wallace won't put up 300+ yards a game, but I always thought he was smart with the ball and gave us a good chance to win. I didn't see that this year. Maybe Mora's offense effected him so maybe reuniting with Holmgren and his offense is all good." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalmaniac Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Cardinals fan here, and with the Cards being in the same division as the Seahawks, I've had multiple looks at Seneca. Â I somewhat agree with the 'hawks fans who said he was the best backup in the league. If he's not the best backup he's one of them. He was able to step in when Hasslebeck went down and keep the offense moving, plus he can make plays with his feet. I actually think that if given a fair shot, he'll out-perform Brady Quinn. Â If it was a 6th or lower I'd say you got a very good deal. If it was a 5th rounder I'd say it's about on par with where I'd expect Seneca's value to be.

Guest dirt devil Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Wallace is good. He could be the starter coming out of camp easy. Great pickup. A lot better than trying to get troy smith. Smith is another OSU reject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Holmgren drafted him and coached him for 7 years, I think he was a big part of it, Holmgrens guys are already trying to teach Daboll some new things on offense. Â Â I hope it was for Brady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisville Slugger Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 If hes more then a stopgap and mentor Im gonna say Holmgren screwed this team. Â Wallace is a smaller but faster version of Quinn. Â I still have my fingers crossed we land McNabb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasont44094 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I believe he's a backup for another qb not on the team. Maybe we trade for someone else, or he's the veteran qb Holmgren was looking for to transition the offense, and draft someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Seattle Seahawks have have traded backup quarterback Seneca Wallace to the Cleveland Browns for a draft pick.  UPDATE: John Boyle of the Everett Herald reports the Seahawks will receive a 2011 draft pick for Wallace  Wallace will be reunited with Mike Holmgren, his former head coach with the Seahawks who is now the president of the Browns.  Holmgren chose Wallace with the 110th overall pick of the 2003 NFL Draft.  In seven NFL seasons, Wallace has started 14 games, and has completed 59.9% of his pass attempts for 3,547 yards, with 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for a passer rating of 83.1.  Regarded as one of the better athletes on the Seahawks, the 5-11, 205-pound Wallace has also run for 214 yards and a touchdown and has 4 receptions for 76 yards.  2010 is the final year of a four-year, $6.2 million dollar contract Wallace signed in 2007.

D Bone Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Seneca will win the job over either QB on our roster right now. IDK if MH is looking at another QB or not, but I for one am stoked knowing that I don't have to sit through another Quinn/DA abortion next year.

Dawgs of Hell Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 why did we trade for this guy? i thought we had enough guys already to hold clipboards around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erie Dawg Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hes a guy that knows Holmgrens offense like the back of his hand. Hes a pretty decent QB too. He could start, but i hope not. I think Holmgren has bigger plans. Good move, we'll see a totally different offense out there if Holmgrens going to be this much hands on. But they are not running holmgren's offense and mike has said himself that he won't dictate. If the coaches want to come talk he's all for it.

sisky fringo Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 if Wallace ends up the back-up behind McNabb i'll dance a jig on my roof. Â then if they draft a good rookie QB prospect as the #3...talk about an ideal situation for bringing along the future face of the franchise (!). i'm just talking here but that would be incredible. Â bonus: if they do incorporate Holmgren's offense they have a QB already versed in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4eagle Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Cannot argue with trading for Wallace another guy who has never really had a chance in the NFL who was very good in college. I like the move considering both Quinn and Andersen stink. Would rather go for Troy Smith or move up for Bradford in the draft but............but heck this is a signal the Browns think now we need a real QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedawg Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 So we are going to fill our roster with 2nd string Seahawks this year instead of 2nd string Jets? Nice! Let the Wallace/Quinn/Anderson flame war begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
