Tim Hasselbeck needs to start for this team

[Shane]

Tim Hasselbeck provides the spark we need on offense. He has special talents and he is the guy who will be leading this team before very long in my opinion. With the sad loss of Jon Jansen for the season, we will need a mobile quarterback who can get outside on planned rollouts and scramble when necessary to avoid the rush.

Mark Brunell I think is someone who will be able to play at a high level, and I think he would be a very fine starter. But does he provide the spark of Tim Hasselbeck? That remains to be seen.

Patrick Ramsey looks lost out there. He has a tendency to take too long to make decisions, and that is something that I don't know he will be able to overcome easily or soon. I hope he will, but right now, as Madden said, he does not look comfortable leading the team. Probably he will be a very good quarterback at some time, but I wonder if it will be on another team where he can get a fresh start. It is true this would seem to be perfect circumstances with him, but somehow I think the sea change that has occurred on our team this year has left him unsure of himself.

Hasselbeck is the guy right now, and I think he is a Pro Bowl talent.
