Because it came up today — the Seahawks career passing leaders:
| Rank | Player | Career Yards |
| 1 | Matt Hasselbeck | 29434 |
| 2 | Dave Krieg | 26132 |
| 3 | Jim Zorn | 20122 |
| 4 | Rick Mirer | 9094 |
| 5 | Jon Kitna | 7552 |
| 6 | Warren Moon | 5310 |
| 7 | Seneca Wallace | 3547 |
| 8 | John Friesz | 2971 |
| 9 | Trent Dilfer | 2560 |
| 10 | Kelly Stouffer | 2333 |
| 11 | Jeff Kemp | 1735 |
| 12 | Stan Gelbaugh | 1426 |
| 13 | Steve Myer | 851 |
| 14 | Dan McGwire | 745 |
| 15 | Gale Gilbert | 703 |
| 16 | Brock Huard | 667 |
| 17 | Charlie Whitehurst | 507 |
There’s one guy in the top 10 I *never* would have guessed: John Friesz.

Jeff Kemp didn’t quite make the top 10, though I thought he might.
Other notables:
Gino Toretta #26.
Steve Largent #27.
Norm Johnson #29.
And the fewest yards, greater than zero: Ricky Watters. 1 yard. #34.
okay the fact that Rick Mirererer is 4th is scary and I completely forgot Brock played for us

I don’t know which is “scariest”:
Mirer at #4.
Kitna at #5.
Stouffer at #10. Remember, he cost the Seahawks two first round picks. In return the Seahawks received 2,333 passing yards. The fact that he flopped also meant that the owner pushed for a new quarterback. The owner liked Dan McGwuire, and Seattle flushed *another* first round pick. Ouch.
Interesting note on Friesz and Wallace: Despite being #7 and #8 in career yardage, they only led the team in passing *once* apiece. The top 10, with how many times they led the team:
Hasselbeck: 9 times
Kreig: 9
Zorn: 7
Mirer: 3
Kitna: 2
Moon: 2
Wallace: 1 (He led them in 2008(!))
Friesz: 1
Dilfer: 0
Stouffer: 0
Stan Gelbaugh is the only other quarterback to lead the team in passing — 1 time. That’s pretty remarkable, as he only had 1,426 career yards for Seattle.
I’m guessing in 20 years people will say: “Seneca Who??”
