Quote:Okay. Everyone panning Hasselbeck and saying their is no excuse needs to just remember that

 

1. he actually QBed a team that got to a Superbowl

2. Has played against the Jags in mop up due in 3 games the past two years and not looked horrible. Given we have no pass rush right now means that we likely cannot exploit a QB's lack of mobility.

 

It is not like this a some rookie who have never started a game. He is savvy veteran who understands football and was still in Seattle when Gus got there. 

 

Lastly, you forget that this game is being played AT Indianapolis. Blake has NEVER won a road game to date, and they can be difficult for young QB's to win because all the extra factors of being on the road. Don't be surprised if he gets rattled or makes mistakes at some point during the game.
