Because he hasn't won a playoff game until this year. When he wins the Super Bowl, he'll win some respect.Next year they've got some real opponents. Give me a 13-3 Schedule in '06 and I'll believe you.He's a very good quarterback, but he's not yet in that elite status of Brady, Manning, McNabb....We don't really know how good this Seahawks team is because they've been beating up on the worst of the NFL all year. Even if they win the Super Bowl, they'll have beaten two 6 seeds and a 5 seed (has to be an NFL first)--a fitting finish for a team with the easiest schedule and division in the league.

I won't respect Hasselback until he spells his name right.

Trent Green gets less respect.

This post is tired. Hass is 34-18 or so in the last 4 years. Hasn't been the 'easiest' schedule every year. Plus he personally has had now 4 great playoff games (almost 120 rating avg). Lose the SOS argument, it's a moot point. Is it the Hawks fault that 5 and 6 beat 3 and 4? Or that the 6 team in the AFC beat 1, 2 and 3? Cream rises to the top.

Rodney Dangerfield never got any respect either.

Never heard of him.

On a related note...Does any word get less respect than "definitely"?
People don't even know how to spell this word right despite being one of the best words in the dictionary the past 400 years and making the Thesaurus in 2003 and 2005 (probably 2004 too, though I haven't checked).
Just wondering why more people don't like "definItely".
(Don't even get me started on the use of "their/they're/there" and "your/you're" around here. These are Pro Bowl words that are treated like bench warmers.)

Never heard of HIM?I belive that dotman is referring to HER. The her would be Mama McNabb and her Chunky Soup. I have tried this soup and find it to be a greatest meal of alltime. It is disappointing that people misspell Hasselbeck's name, but how underrated would a person have to be for people not to understand their gender?

Agreed
I'm sure Larry David is on my side on this and would agree that Hasselbeck winning the Super Bowl would be very good for the bald community.

I can't believe no one laughed!! I thought it was pretty funny.
I have not seen Hasselback play a whole lot, but watch him against the Redskins. Hasselback was very impressive. When the pass protection fell apart, he made plays and kept drives alive. All this without his starting rb.
On a side note: Seattle will win the Super Bowl. They are better than Pittsburg across the board. I also posted this in a more appropriate thread.

Things I think keep Hasselbeck from being more popular:
1. Low, unheralded draft pick - 6th round.
2. Spent 2 years on the bench (behind one of the best QB's ever)
3. Was a high-profile acquisition by the Seahawks with a lot of expectations.
4. Took a couple years to develop into a top QB in Seattle.
5. Bald - doesn't get all the female fan attention
6. Plays in Seattle and a lot of people don't get to see him play.
7. It's considered Shaun Alexander's team and he gets most of the attention.

If Jeff Garcia can get two Playboy playmates to get in a fight over him, I'm not sure female attention is a factor.

I think these are the big reasons - in reverse order.
I'll see what I can do about scanning the Cosmo article and posting it.

2 corrections 3.5: TANKED with a bad attitude his first 2 years. Couldn't even hold snaps for FGs without effing it up.
7. No one considers it SA's team. They know the knocks on him. This IS Hass' team, ever since the playoff quote, whoever you blame for the Bob Marley INT. THat confidence won him the team and he's backed it up ever since. . Who got the $26 million? Hass. And here's another thing, the Bald One isn't even the best player on the team!!!
The Seahawks will never get any respect.
If they lose, everyone will say they only went 13-3 because of an easy schedule and weak conference and shouldn't have been there.
If they win, everyone will still say they beat 3 low seeds to win the super bowl.
To the Seahawks credit, while they did play two low seeds to get here, neither game was close in the end. They should be expected to win easily and did both times. They should be expected to win easily sunday.
