Hamden Update

I also wouldnt be surprised to see Giibs take a vet for a third string QB.

As far as Hamdam, his stats dont look impressive, and I havent watched any NFL Europe games but didnt one of you say that they take him out at the end of the QTR. And on many account he'll lead them down the field and then not be in to get the TD. If thats the case mabye his QB rating would be a lot higher, touchdowns play a big part of that. Either way the completion percentage isnt all that hot.

Let's remember that Wuerffel was a star in NFLE, enough said.

yea you really need to atleast be a star in the CFL to get a chance...heh

speaking of our man Danny, check this out:

Hasselbeck showed a better understanding of the game than Ramsey last year. He's not nearly as physically talented, but he's smart as a whip and can move the chains. In other words, he's the perfect emergency qb.

DW is a class act, I'll always wish him the best.

Put his head on a 6-3, 230 LB frame with a rocket arm and he would have been a star.

I agree that Hamden is raw. Can he be practice squaded again? Has he had any access to the current coaching staff? I'd like to see him at least get some snaps at training camp under the eye of Gibbs and co. Whatever they decide, I'll take their word for it..

When has Gibb's opted for a veteran 3rd string QB? schroeder, humphries, rypien, conklin, he has alway's used the 3rd spot to develope a young QB, he just wanted a veteran at the #2 spot, Sthoener an ex- NFL starter, Hamden is head and shoulder's better than him, as well Hamden is the only guy moving the ball, every time he put's together a drive he get's benched, I think they have some kind of agreement with the NFL to get everyone playing time, as for his stat's, don't really care, I have never been a stat guy, I have seen him play twice now, and have yet to see him throw 1 bad pass, the kid is a cool customer on the field, and is showing a lot of potential, just the kind of guy Gibb's will look to develope, it can also be looked at this way, who will bring back more in a trade 2 or 3 year's from now? Hasselbach or Hamden? I say Hamden is the guy with a real chance to bring back some pick's for us.

just for kicks let's put it to a vote, who's your #3 QB for 2004?

I'd say our #3 will be Hasselbeck, with Hamdan on the practice squad for another year while learning from a real NFL coaching staff. In 2005, it will be interesting, depending on what kind of impression they both make on the coaches this year.
