Build around a average young qb ideas?

Anybody building around a somewhat average qb like the Seahawks might be doing? I'm not talking about Dennis Dixon etc like the colt Brennan type guys or a cast off or soon to be cast off any ideas thanks

Play with an old guy, and draft a rookie?

Signed Alex Smith to a pretty long term deal when the Niners let him go to free agency.

Re: Build around a average young qb ideas?

Am playing the Seahawks in my first franchise year. QB position is a definite problem.

I've kept Hasselbeck but released Whitehurst. The best thing to do is go to the Free Agents and sign Robert You (the Make A Wish kid, FYI) on a long term contract. It's a little cheezy, but You is 71 OVR with a big arm and good short-mid throw accuracy, which suits my play style perfectly.

End of this season will be a tough choice. Re-sign or release an aging, fading Hasselbeck? Re-signing is delaying the inevitable and not fixing the problem (but it's the easy choice).

The harder one is to cut him and move on, which I'll probably do. In which case I'll try to get a really good halfback to pick up my rushing game (and avoid You's long throw weakness).

Next thing is the gameflow. I've tweaked the Seahawks' offense (actually a great playbook) in favor of shorter throws this year anyway, so next year I'll build up running plays, short throws and take out play action plays (You has poor PA rating and the CPU sees it anyway).

Will see who is available in free agency (in Mad 10 I once saw Payton Manning but couldn't afford him) but if there isn't anyone good, I'll draft the best QB I can and go with another building season. And pray I get an easy schedule!

Re: Build around a average young qb ideas?

I've used Tyrod Taylor for one of my franchises. He came in with 75? Short ACC and 70? Mid I used the Pats playbook with a ton of short plays for a speedy #2 WR, it also has decent TE routes and a limited running game-- but still ok. A fairly good line and good back, and you might have an offense based on screens to the HB/WR#2 and a pass catching TE. But obviously you wanna run more with this setup...

Matt Moore is great to build around. Same thing with Jimmy Clausen and Tony Pike. I enjoy using all three.

Other than those I would say Chase Daniels(New Orleans).
