You need your quarterback to be someone who will make things happen.

I'm a Hasselbeck believer right now. I like what I saw from him last year and I thought he was our best quarterback then, especially in light of the pass protection schemes and Ramsey's indecisiveness. We needed a scrambler then. We may need one this year as well.

Hasselbeck is someone you will see in the Pro Bowl at some point. Andy Reid thought very highly of him. Joe Gibbs is making comments.

I'm glad he is a Redskin.

Did you see the Dallas game he started last year? With the first team, he completed more passes to Terrence Newman (who is not a Redskin by the way) than to anybody else. Horrific performance, and maybe he did bounce back and play decently later on, but in the biggest game of our year he flat out stunk.

And I agree with Matt, Wuerffel looked awesome in the preseason against the third stringers. But there's a reason he's #3 on the depth chart. He better make sure to stay ahead of Hamdan.
