Seattle Seahawks: 15 greatest quarterbacks in franchise history
By Lee Vowell
Seneca Wallace will be the last of Seahawks quarterbacks who did not win double-digit games. In fact, Wallace was just 5-9 in his Seattle career. But he was a spot starter on several not-good Seattle teams in the late 2000s. Had Wallace been on many other NFL teams, though, he might have started.
Wallace played Matt Hasselbeck and never really had a chance to start. More on Hasselbeck in a bit, but Wallace might have been a Seattle starter full-time for many years had he not played when he did.
Still, even though playing in limited time, Wallace has the 8th-most passing yards in Seattle history with 3,547. Wallace started 14 games which are almost an NFL season. Take his combined years with Seattle and make them into a year he would have thrown for all those yards and for 25 touchdowns against 14 interceptions with a quarterback rating of 83.1. Not bad stuff.
Wallace left Seattle after the 2009 season and played three more years. He started just 8 more games in his career, two with the Browns and one with Green Bay. Wallace was 1-7 in those combined starts. Wallace was a quarterback who deserved better and had more talent than what his statistics show. That is why he is number 8 on this list.
