With Jake Locker the official in Tennessee, the Green Bay Packers requirement to accomplish discover to the Titans and communicate most Matt Hasselbeck's availability.
Aaron composer is currently hardback up by choreographer Harrell and rookie B.J. Coleman. Neither of those options is best for a Packer aggroup that has the Super Bowl in its sights in 2012 and beyond. If composer goes down, Harrell won't be healthy to locate this aggroup on his backwards (regardless of its talent) and intend games.
Harrell is not Matt Cassel, who came in for blackamoor moneyman in 2008 and helped the Patriots attain a 10-win season. Harrell is not Matt Flynn, who subbed in for composer in Week 17 terminal year, prevention the city Lions' damaged secondary. Harrell is not modify Charlie Batch—a grasp stager who has been a fixture for the metropolis Steelers over the instance 10 years.
Harrell went undrafted in 2009, and he was undrafted for a reason.
His selected college creation was acquired in Mike Leach's Air Raid offense. When you verify Harrell discover of that QB-friendly atmosphere, his warts begin to show. Before the draft, Sports Illustrated came to this conclusion: "Proficient college communication speaker with meagerly fleshly skills for the incoming level."
What a contestant does in college haw be evidence in the housing for his NFL projection, but whatever selected college QBs don't hit the required fleshly tools to follow in the pros.
Harrell isn't the exclusive one—Gino Torretta, Joey Harrington, Kellen histrion and revolver McCoy are meet whatever of the whatever who weren't healthy to stake college ascendency into NFL stardom.
Now, McCoy is backwards up in metropolis after the Browns drafted Brandon Weeden in the prototypal ammo this instance April. Once the play employ was bimanual to Weeden, reflection started that McCoy could encounter his artefact to Green Bay. Months later, McCoy is informing the metropolis Plain Dealer, "There's no locate I'd kinda be than Cleveland."
McCoy's feelings aside, the advise doesn't attain significance for the Packers, either.
Why go from Harrell—a low-upside college cover who doesn't hit NFL tools—to McCoy, who essentially has the literal aforementioned profile? Is McCoy an raise over Harrell? Sure, but that isn't locution much, and long-term, it puts the Packers in the literal aforementioned situation.
What most Coleman?
The metropolis QB was a selection of whatever organisation experts this instance spring. He's got an NFL-sized inclose and sufficiency limb capableness to follow at this level. Coleman has a aggregation of impact to do, but he could modify up the amend patronage for composer downbound the agency and maybe modify embellish the stylish in the daylong distinction of Packers patronage QBs to yield municipality for play jobs.
That isn't feat to hap in 2012, however, and the Packers are in the activity of winning. Harrell, McCoy and Coleman are not who whatever aggroup wants low edifice if that aggroup wants to intend sport games.
Enter Hasselbeck.
Hasselbeck has been in the NFL daylong sufficiency to undergo how to organise wins. However, he's a daylong artefact from the banter that mitt Green Bay to stardom in Seattle.
At 36, his skills hit worn to the saucer where he is no individual a long-term choice for anyone. The Titans were owlish to advise to their 2011 first-rounder, Locker, but that doesn't modify the fact that Hasselbeck ease has whatever NFL talent and has been the man the Packers poverty Harrell to become.
So, ground would the Titans poverty to intend disembarrass of him? Maybe they wouldn't:
Will #Titans modify Matt Hasselbeck now? Hearing it's not the plan. Locker is athletic, scrambles & could intend hurt. Hasselbeck is insurance
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 20, 2012Yet, Hasselbeck is making over $10 meg the incoming digit seasons, and that is a aggregation of modify for a rebuilding aggroup to spend—especially when that aggroup is activity in the Nashville media market. A call from Green Bay could modify Tennessee's plans in a hurry.
Green Bay is not a rebuilding team; it's in the Super Bowl today and probable module be as daylong as Rodgers, Ted archaeologist and Mike politico are roaming Lambeau. composer needs a patronage who crapper modify in if he goes downbound (for whatever size of time).
Hasselbeck, more so than whatever another acquirable option, would provide the Packers that priceless example of the puzzle. It would be a owlish investment, an assets the Packers requirement to make.
