7 Tds - 1 INT (that clearly should have been caught by Obamanu). Considering what he's done in the playoffs and with the lack of talent around him - you could make the argument he's been better even than Rodgers. I wonder, does it change your outlook for next year (when/ if he's re-signed)? At the end of the reg. season you could have made a case for the question of why the Hawks would even re-sign him and that he doesn't deserve 2011 draft consideration - but now don't you have to consider him fringe top 20? maybe not.
I'm sorry, but Hasselbeck is one of the WORST QBs in the league and has proven as much over the last 3 seasons. He had 1 good game, and that was the Saints game. In this last weekends game against the Bears, he did not have a good game WHEN IT COUNTED. The score was 28-0 with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. Hasselbeck and company scored 0 points in 3 quarters, and basically had a bunch of 3 and outs. Then the 4th quarter came around, the Chicago Bears understood that the game was over, and they moved into a soft/prevent type defense and Hass and the Seahawks took advantage of that by scoring a bunch of TDs in garbage time.But all this is moot when you look at Hasselbeck and the last 3 years of absolute garbage he has put out. His QB rating over the last 3 years is: 58, 75, and 73. Yes, this year his QB rating, over the SEASON, was 73 which means that only 3 qualified QBs had a worse rating than Hasselbeck. Jimmy Clausen, Brett Favre and Derek Anderson. FAvre's performance was so horrid that it did what nothing else could possibly have done, pushed Favre into retirement. Derek Anderson's performance was so atrocious that John Skelton, a garbage rookie QB drafted late in last years draft, overtook anderson for the starting QB job and actually pushed Anderson to the bench. And Clausen? Well, he is Jimmy Clausen, a horrible rookie who will most likely be out of the NFL in a year or two.Does the all encompassing QB rating not spark your fancy? Well, what about the very statistic you used in order to support your argument? TD vs INT ratio. Of course you attempted to use it over a ridiculously small 2 game "sample size" which made it devoid of any value, but what the hell, I'm going to do it for the last 3 years. Over the last 3 years Hasselbeck has thrown 34 TDs and 44 INTs. If you don't know, that is a just down right putrid number. If you add in fumbles, the turnovers go into the mid to upper 50's vs only 34 TDs.And again, I am using 3 years of data while you wish to focus on 2 games, 1 of those games being completely misleading since all the stats from that game were accrued in garbage time when all parties understood that the game was over. You know what they say about a broken clock being correct twice per day? Or how the sun shines on a dogs ##### every now and again? Just cause Hass put up a good game and another ok one doesn't take away from his worst in the NFL type numbers he has put up consistantly over the last 3 years.He is a horrible QB and the Seahawks would be very smart to move on from this loser. In 2005 he was a good QB. Today he is just pathetic and a loser.
