HOF Game

[MIKEnDC]

I have some guarded hopes for Hamdan. Last year, in minicamps, it was said he clearly had the best arm of all the QBs. He certainly lacks experience, and IMO, while his NFLEL experience gave him some desparately-needed snaps, he also missed all the Spring work and is most likely way behind on the Skins playbook.

I think Hasselbeck is more suited for a WCO (like NYJ or Seattle), but he needs to stay around for next season as #3. I'd love to see him get traded for another '05 pick, but I think we'll need him next year if one of the top two go down. Hamdan should spend another year on the PS--learning the playbook and getting acquainted with Gibbs & Co.

In '05, however, I look to see Hamdan as the #3 on the regular season roster (provided he doesn't somehow run afoul of the coaching staff--but he seems a good kid with lots of the famous "upside").

You mean the best arm besides Ramsey, right?

I'm not saying that it's true, but I did hear/read that comment last year. I haven't seen enough of Gibran to form my own opinion yet. But I think we can all agree that being a successful NFL QB requires more than arm-strength.

It is not a knock on Ramsey's arm at all. He has a cannon.
