    Most of the people I know watch Titans games. But they cant stand watching any other teams play, it bores them.

    Of course not. But I'll campaign against Locker in 2012.

    To me it seems like when Jake gets into the game the rest of the team perk up a little bit. Hasselbeck is a good QB if he can sit in the pocket and throw the ball. But if he has to move outside the pocket he is a tree. Good for a couple first downs and then stalls out.

    Jake brings a diff feel when he is in there, he can move around make things happen, I would love to see him get the start with all the #1 reps in practice.

    JL brings a spark to the team. ^no doubt. Can't deny. He also brings some questionable accuracy. On the flip side... He has some special moments and has nearly bailed us out the alt and NO games.

    If locker gets the start this week vs the colts and comes out firing (Key palko comments now) everyone that's been saying teams havnt been able to game plan him will just say it's because its the winless colts. It'll prove little to the haters.

    AND if he loses... The entire organization will look like the aftermath of an atomic freaking bomb because the fans are dry humping at even the thought of starting Jake.

    I'm not against starting him at all, and fully believe he can win us games... I also see some moments where I'm not quite sure where the ball was going.

    Regardless of who is starting... We are not going far in the playoffs with serious questions on both the O and D line... Therefore if we lose any of the remaining games, locker should finish out.

    With some trial by fire experience to grade him by and a full off season for him to get his accuracy issues worked on i think he can start next year.

    We also have to count on britt coming back... And although he is an immature idiot and injury prone... He makes his qbs look a lot better.

    Nah.
    They wait until a player or coach is gone and then dog them with "they suck, they, always sucked, etc....lol!
    Or when there is one bad game or maybe two.
    We are "the grass is always greener" fans. :lol:

    This is a very difficult decision for me but I slightly side with keeping Hasselbeck in there for the time being.

    However I think Hasselbeck is gimpy and Locker should start vs. the Colts to give Hass the week to rest and heal up.

    I love Locker, I think he's going to be fantastic for us. When he comes in, he's given the team a spark and has so much athletic ability that allows him to make plays Hasselbeck can't. He gives the offense a lift for sure.

    He obviously still has issues with accuracy though and I think it's more beneficial to keep him sitting for now than it is to throw him in.

    Hasselbeck has played disappointing lately but I certainly think we can win out with Hass at QB.

    Like I said, start Locker this week vs Indy and then go back to Hass for the Jax/Hou games assuming we're still in a spot to make the playoffs.

    If we're eliminated from contention (a loss to Ind or Jax), start Locker the rest of the way.

    I even expect Hass to begin next season as our starter, he'll just be on a very short leash.

    It will be an open competition in training camp, I've heard.

    Sorry I can't tell the difference between poop and crap. More power to you if you can make that distinction, but I'm not going to re-evaluate..


    Here's more Hasselbeck Collins similarities....

    -Both played in a Superbowl and lost
    -Kerry Collins last season, 82.2 rating vs 82.9 rating for Hass this season
    -Collins 14-8 TD-INT ratio vs 15-10 for Hass this season
    -Hass and Collins: same mediocre 6.7 avg per pass, Locker = 8.7

    Munchak is Fisher 2.0 and Hass is Collins 2.0

    Based on what exactly?

    In your posts in this thread the only point you bring up is his accuracy in college. That tells you everything you need to know about his career path in the NFL? What a joke.
