Even if he had the best O line in the NFl, he'd still stink it up. He's psat his prime and now it's time for PC to get his future QB in development. Whitehurst probably isn't a long-term fix but I think he' good enough for 1-2 years. Trading a 1st rd. pick would be throwing away a shutdown corner, a RT, or a QB. It'd be a waste.
Here we go again with the "we don't need Matt, we've got Charlie" talk. Whitehurst won't ever amount to shit in this league. Quit sucking on the teet. Locker has a better chance....
Matt played behind one of the shitiest lines in the league. Some 856 different starting combinations on the year. Put him behind Brady line and he easily wins 10-12 games. Now I am NOT saying Matt is the best QB out there. Not even close. This point in his career, he's in the bottom half of starting QBs BUT he is still much better than Whitehurst and the best option for the hawks right now.
Ideal situatio; resign Matt, improve the entire team through the draft and FA and get a young gunner in there to ride the bench until he surpasses Matt or Matt breaks down.
But come on man. ENOUGH of this Whitehurst shit.
