After former Seahawks quarterback Seneca Wallace joined the team, he said he believed he’d be the starter. Though the inside track for that specific gig resides with Jake Delhomme, Wallace apparently won’t be standing around.
“Seneca’s going to have plays in there where he’ll be involved,” coach Eric Mangini said Monday at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Club Luncheon, according to Steve Doerschuk of the Canton Repository, “and maybe he’ll be involved with Josh [Cribbs], and we can have some fun with that.”
Mangini also didn’t slam the door on the possibility that Wallace could unseat Delhomme. “They’re different types of quarterbacks,” Mangini said. “Jake definitely has a larger body of work, although I’ve played against Seneca, and he was tough.”
It remains unlikely that rookie Colt McCoy will get the job at any point in 2010; Mangini said McCoy is in the process of transitioning from being “the big fish [to] being a much smaller fish.”
Still, the smallest fish could end up being the best option, if the other two fish can’t get it done the way it needs to be done for a team that hasn’t gotten it done since returning to the league more than a decade ago.
