Now, here's a topic we can sink our teeth into!

If I put myself in Jim Zorn's shoes and Hasselbeck becomes available, then I would want him. This one is a no brainer for Zorn. Zorn has got to believe that he had better make the playoffs next year if he wants to stick around and he just may think that he would have a much better shot at the playoffs with Hasselbeck as his QB. He has already put the work in on Hasselbeck. HB knows the system Zorn wants to run and how to play the QB position the way Zorn wants it to be played.

Now, how does that sit with Dan Snyder and VC, especially since Zorn was brought in to develop JC? I don't know.

Personally, I have little doubt that HB would do a better job than JC as our QB in the short term and, for Zorn, there may not be a long term unless he wins in the short term.

In the interest of full disclosure, my thoughts on this topic are affected by my growing suspicion that JC's future in the NFL may be as a career backup QB.
