Draft Luck, Sign Hasselbeck

No matter what QB we draft this year (Luck or Mallett presumably) I don't think its smart to bring them in with only Jimmy Clausen as competition. Matt Moore just needs to be let go because he won't ever contribute. Ideally for me I'd trade Clausen for whatever we can get for him and not worry about whether or not Clausen is mature enough to be relegated to a backup role in just his second season.

Therefore, if we draft a QB with our first pick (if we don't then we are rooting for a loser franchise) then we need to go out and get a veteran QB that knows how to run a team. IMO no other free agent would be better than Matt Hasselbeck and I think he'd come here knowing that he'd have a really good chance to start at least the first part of the season. Get him in here to teach Luck/Mallett how to run a team and to help the young QB mature and win over the respect of the older players. Clausen didn't have that this year and I think it killed any chance of him ever being a leader of the team. A veteran is a must and it wouldn't hurt to have a guy that has been a winner at his other team.

Moore can't contribute? Lol

Drafting Luck/Mallet/whoever.... And signing a vet like hasslebeck is a good idea, but we gotta send clausen somewhere in a trade or just let him go, he has too many negatives that you just can't fix

Having Cluasen on the team might make Luck nervous, because he may have to look over his shoulder all the time, and ultimately lead Luck to be a bust.

Hasselbeck is only a good option if we go with a West Coast type of approach on offense.

My feeling is that Hasselbeck doesn't even need to start, he just needs to teach the rookie how to run a team and earn respect. If he has to toss a few balls then that's fine but we don't need to run an offense that he is "made for" just because we sign him as a vet.

never say never, but I'm pretty sure Seattle will be in a similar position next year and won't be in any hurry to let Hass leave. Pretty sure Seattle will also use a high pick for a young QB and they'll want to use Hass the same way you would.

I've heard that before...but I've heard the exact opposite many many times. He's a competitor for sure...maybe more competitive than skilled sometimes and I believe that frustrates the poo out of him.

I've met him once in person, in Denver this season, and he was extremely nice to me.

      The meat and potatoes: [quote] Out of 30 qualifying QBs in Week 1, Young ranked: Dead last in EPA (-0.60) Dead last in success rate (20%) Dead last in Y/A at 3.6 Dead last in passer rating at 27.5 How are you averaging just 3.6 Y/A on unpressured dropbacks in the first half of a game? Thinking back to that halftime deficit, I’m reminded of this stat: The Panthers led at halftime in three of Young’s 12 starts last year. They are now 0 for 1 this year. In his 29 career starts, the Panthers have led at halftime in 5 of 29 (17%). Since 2000, there have been 37 QBs to start at least 25 games in their first two years in the NFL. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than six of his starts. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than 20% of his starts. So many people were backing Young based on the super small sample at the end of the year when they thought he played better, and he did play moderately better. But even in those games, he delivered average stats against the NFL’s easiest schedule of pass defenses to close the year, with every opponent ranking 20th or worse. There’s never been a QB who rebounded from performance like Young delivered in his first couple of years to go on to become a franchise quarterback. Some stay around as a journeyman, but they don’t lead teams. The Panthers put all their eggs in the Young basket this offseason. The Panthers were the darlings to win the NFC South by many. Yes, it’s only one game, and there certainly are opportunities to improve.[/quote]   The opportunity is to start someone else at QB.   I don’t want to see anymore debate in whether Bryce is the worst QB ever.  Especially not the worst #1 overall pick ever.  What a fuging bust.
