I hope he goes into announcing, especially for our Seahawks, he is good enough to land a big gig somewhere though, if Phil Simms can do it the Hass will be a star.

I think Hasselbeck would be good at game commentary. He's got many years of experience and stories to share.

Favorite Hass performance of mine was the 2010 season playoff game against the Saints. He gave it his all. He'll everyone did. Fought for every yard and never quit. Even on the Beast Quake run. Top 2-3 games of all time for me.

No not at all. I never thought he had what it takes to win. The Rams arguably had a lesser team in 2004 finishing 8-8 yet defeated the Seahawks 3 times that season including the playoff win in Seattle. Then the "We want the ball and we're gonna score" nonsense. I always thought he bailed out of the pocket too quick not going through all his progressions and too often when he did pass he lacked the appropriate touch for the pass. Usually too much zip when not warranted. Should know what your WRs are capable of doing rather than what they should. The difference between in practice and theory. While he was an excellent scrambling QB he didn't turn it into big play potential like RW. Although I remember him most for a phantom penalty called on him in the Super Bowl that I still can't understand.

That is the worst description of Matt Hasselbeck I have ever read or heard. It is nearly opposite of his actual strengths and weakness's. Matt was all about touch and timing. His weakness was arm strength not zipping the ball to hard. He was also not an excellent scrambling QB though he had decent pocket awareness and more than anything he was not durable. Tough sure. He played in a flack jacket with two broken ribs only missing one full game but durable he was not.

Maybe you are thinking of someone else?

No. It is my opinion developed after years of watching Warner and Bulger at QB.

Maybe you'd have a more realistic evaluation of Hasselbeck if you actually watched Hass instead of Warner and Bulger. I'm off to watch more film of Sean Alexander so I can better evaluate Walter Payton.
