Andy Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I was pretty happy with Harnish, but if the Colts get Hasselbeck for cheap, that would be very good too. He would bring:- Veteran insight- Mentor role- Solid backup if ever Luck goes down http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2013/03/18/tennessee-titans-matt-hasselbeck/1997661/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueShoe Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 "According to USA Today’s Mike Garafolo and Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean, Hasselbeck is “already in discussions” with the Colts after being cut by the Titans earlier this afternoon."

GoColts8818 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Great move IMO. He would be like an added QB coach for Luck too. Love it I hope it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash7 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 As if we need that. The funny part is that their offense doesn't scare me. Their defense however.... I think that of all of the teams that we played, the Titan's put the worst beating on Luck. They seamed to be in his face as soon as the ball was snapped on every play. We actually played horribly against them in both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hope it's cheap. But I'm cool with the move, he would be a good guy for the locker room. I like Harnish as well, but we had 3 Qbs on roster last year, I expect the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts20593 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Good deal for both parties. Solid backup, good help for Andrew to break down other teams. He wants a ring, hope we give it to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Better than Kerry Collins! Lol I had hoped in 2011 that we would grab Hasselbeck once he left the Seahawks. If we had him instead of Collins and Painter, I believe we would have won a good 4-6 games. Imagine the effect that would have had. According to Irsay, we'd have kept Manning, but we would have had a top ten pick in a pretty strong draft. I don't know what happens to Polian and Caldwell, but if we replaced them with Grigson and Pagano like we did, a lot would have changed with our team in 2012. No Freeney, maybe Wayne, probably no Mathis, still would have released, Brackett, Clark, Addai and Bullitt, so there's still about $25-35m in dead cap space. But we still would have had a good amount of cap space this year, plus a complement of draft picks. Mixed feelings, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtrester Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 This could be a solid move. Hasselbeck is a strong vet. Not only can he help Luck, but I think he could be a great influence on Harnish. As for the WR...who said trading involved only draft picks. We could pick up space by trading a poo contract with a pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslo1812 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 So if we make this happen would that eliminate the idea of this trade since Hasselback will be taking up more money. Plus we gotta save for the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewColtsFan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 To me, Hasselback is the dream back-up! He's the poster-child for great back-up. A pro's-pro. Happy to back-up at this stage of his career. But could step in and wins games if called upon. A great set of eyes to help Luck see things. A wealth of experience to share with Andrew. On and on. I was delighted to see us connected on NFL.com with Hasselback... and I'm beyond thrilled to hear that USA Today thinks we're the leader! After a horrible weekend as a Colt's fan, THIS is the best news of the day! By far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKnight24 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 If Bruce Arians was still here, I'd hate this move. But sense that was Luck's Mentor who is now in ARI, I don't mind this move. I just hope Hasselbeck is prepared to play the Jim Sorgi/Curtis Painter role. And understands the only time he'll touch the field is in preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we gotta save for the draft. I don't think you have to worry that the Hasselback contract is going to cost us some desired FA or trade partner. The front office has already factored a proper back-up salary into their plan. This should not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
