Tim Hasselbeck needs to start for this team

Tim Hasselbeck provides the spark we need on offense. He has special talents and he is the guy who will be leading this team before very long in my opinion. With the sad loss of Jon Jansen for the season, we will need a mobile quarterback who can get outside on planned rollouts and scramble when necessary to avoid the rush.

Mark Brunell I think is someone who will be able to play at a high level, and I think he would be a very fine starter. But does he provide the spark of Tim Hasselbeck? That remains to be seen.

Patrick Ramsey looks lost out there. He has a tendency to take too long to make decisions, and that is something that I don't know he will be able to overcome easily or soon. I hope he will, but right now, as Madden said, he does not look comfortable leading the team. Probably he will be a very good quarterback at some time, but I wonder if it will be on another team where he can get a fresh start. It is true this would seem to be perfect circumstances with him, but somehow I think the sea change that has occurred on our team this year has left him unsure of himself.

Hasselbeck is the guy right now, and I think he is a Pro Bowl talent.

Relax bro.....it's only the first preseason game. He was very impressive, but we still have a LONG way to go.

EAAAAAAAAAASYY Shane. He defintley outplayed Ramsey and Brunell tonight, but its the first game of the preseason. I think he should defintley be looked at, but theres no way he should defintley start for this team.

Danny Wuerffel anyone?

He was the MVP in Japan a few years ago, what happened to him anyway?

;)

Yeah, give him the look though. He was playing against the 3rd string D, but made some awesomely timed throws. Hey, you know what they say, it runs in the family...

If you had put Brunell or Ramsey back there for mop up work, you don't think they would have looked better than Hasselbeck?

I like Tim, but I don't think he is talented enough to lead a NFL team, at least not to a playoff spot.

Did I see someone say TH is pro bowl talent?

I'm going to bed.

He did this against the third string D. Good point Matty with the Wuerfel thing. He's a backup at best.

Nice to see Tim play well, but this is basically a scrimage for the skins, and Tim was up against the third stringers.

But I was disapoitned in Ramsey's play. He got a good chunk of time, and never got comfortable.

Still, it's Brunell, Ramsey, and Hasselbeck, unless something chages radically in the next month.

It's way too early to judge this team or it's players yet.

LOL...dang that's rough Matty, but I guess it has to be said. But hey, he had the coolness and the timing down... :headbange
