Tim Hasselbeck is in an even earlier part of his career. Greatness could be bestowed upon him in 2012. Should we have held onto him?

How about Tony Banks?

Hasselback does not possess the physical tools of any of the quarterbacks mentioned previously.

Speaking of feelings, when the physical tools are not there and you are not in the league of Joe Montana in reading the field and knowing the opponents like the back of your hand you will probably have problems being successful in the NFL.

I respect your point, but I think simply that Gannon and Green were with us when either we couldn't keep them or we saw no reason to keep them. If not the front offices that made these decisions were several regimes ago anyway, we can only hope to minimize letting good players go.

What do you mean "speaking of feelings"?

Speaking of feelings, I think that the Redskins knew that Hassleback more than likely did not have what it takes to be a starter in the NFL anytime soon.
