At this point JC and MH are not comparable. MH has taken his team to the playoffs and super bowk, JC hasnt. I dont think that replacing JC with a competent QB would set the team back at all. Skins fans are now in the mindset that it takes years to develop a QB when in fact QBs like Cassell, Rothlessberger, Ryan stepped right in and got the job done.

-I answered in a different thread, but AH alone would have won us three games last year(where Campbell and the offense got on track and took the lead and the D let us down) so I am talking wins as well.

-Zorn BENCHED MH for a year, before he went to the SB. You are using exceptions and claiming a rule. But most qbs take time to develop, that is an accepted belief, not just among Skins fans, but analysts, NFL teams, and a lot of other folks who actually watch football games. I really like how you say "at this point JC and MH are not comparable" duh, one is at the end of his career and the other is at the beginning of his career. I was comparing MH and JC at the same point in the careers(2nd year under Zorn). But I can understand where that type of Apples to Apples comparison might lose its appeal

JC is vested in the NFL retirement plan, if anything he's in the middle of his career.

From Wikipedia:
Matt Hasselbeck

Green Bay Packers

Hasselbeck began his professional career with the Green Bay Packers, where he joined the practice squad in 1998 and then backed-up starter Brett Favre for two seasons, beginning in 1999.

Seattle Seahawks

Hasselbeck joined former head coach Mike Holmgren and the Seattle Seahawks on March 2, 2001. The Packers traded him, along with their first (17th overall) and seventh-round draft picks, to the Seahawks for their first (10th overall) and third-round draft picks.

After the trade Hasselbeck became the starting quarterback for the Seahawks and started 52 games between 2001 and 2004. In his early years in Seattle he battled for playing time with Trent Dilfer.

In 2004, Hasselbeck won the 2004 NFL Quarterback Challenge.

so he won the challenge around his 5th year in the league...
hmm, eerily familiar...
