I'd put Hassrlbeck ahead of those guys.

He took the Seahawks to a Super Bowl- Tuiasopopo had one good year (2000) and King Felix has never MADE the playoffs, let alone win a game.

Jackson and Bird have won a title- I'd put them ahead of King Felix.

Just curious, where does A-Rod and Dave Krieg fall on this list?

 

[bobert1006]

I have never felt that the Seahawks QBs were very special. We went to the Super Bowl on Alexanders Mvp season and Holmgren. A-rod never really showed his ability until he left Seattle. Tui had probably the greatest season that a husky QB will ever have.

Steve Largent's gotta be #2 or #3 for Seattle IMO. When I think of Seattle, besides Starbucks, rain and Nirvana, the first person I think of is Steve Largent.

This is harder than I thought it would be. I'll add names as I think of them. For right now, this just off the top of the old noggin. Outside of the top 5 don't read too much into the order of the names, I didn't feel like ranking them.
