“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

MUSIC INNER CITY NEWS MAGAZINE: COMBINING MUSIC AND SPORTS/As a NFL fan here in Seattle I have listened to local sports radio hosts on KJRam and 710 ESPN put new Seahawk QB Tarvaris Jackson on blast on a daily basis since he got into town. I think this is very unfair.

All this happens to black QB’s in college and the pros. People say black QB’s do not have the intelligence to play QB and the are just “athelatic’ This is wrong and it is unfair in my strong opinion.

Yes Jackson did not a great pre-season. Well dah……. Well play after play dude was running for his life!! The Seahawks O line offered him zero protection during the pre-season games. This is real.

I hear sports radio jocks here in Seattle like Jim Moore and Dave Mahler saying Jackson is a stop gap until the Hawks get a better QB or a “taller QB”. Again this is just unfair to treat Jackson in this manner.

Let’s go back when Matt Hasselbeck was named the Hawks starter. People did not treat Matt in this manner but it is happening to Tarvaris Jackson. It is wrong readers. Wrong.

Jackson was sitting behind one of the greatest players of all time in Brett Farve with the Vikings. He was not given a chance. Now he is on a team where can hopefully prove his skills.

A lot of fans and sports radio hosts want Charlie Whitehurst to start for the Hawks. I will say this, During the pre-season if Charlie was at QB for the Hawks we would have suffered a hundred sacks!!! He has zero speed. Jackson does.

So I hope Tarvaris Jackson proves everyone wrong here in Seattle. I am on his side!   Gordon Curvey
