Jake Locker's Time?

from Munchs quote it's either he wins it clearly in OTAs mini-camp and training camp...or next year. he wants nnnooo part in a QB controversy. smart coach if you ask me.

so if #10 is your starter week 1, then you'll know.

 

Week 1 2013.

 

hard to win a QB competition when you've got to beat Hasselbeck and the coach...

 

I expect him to start at some point this season. I doubt Hasselbeck will be able to start every game again.

 

I expect him to beat out Hass for the starting job this year. I don't really understand why people think that Munch is so loyal to Hass. Hass started last year, but I really think they just didn't want to rush Jake in especially with the shortened offseason, brand new coaching staff, and 1st year HC. A stable veteran QB to help a young and inexperienced team/coaching staff was very important at the beginning of last year. I think Munch just didn't want a QB controversy later in the year bc we just went through a terrible one the season prior. Munch isn't like Fisher, he won't develop a mancrush on Hass like Fisher did with KFC. He will do what he has done thus far, and play the best player at each position.

There is no denying that Locker is more talented than Hass, and I think that will be clear in TC, but Hass just has the experience. And there is only one way for Locker to get experience.

 

It all depends on Locker's accuracy. If Locker is sailing passes and showing bad footwork in training camp then it will be Hasselbeck taking the starting job. Locker's foootmork was better IMO last year then what we saw at times in college but he still only posted a 55% completion rating; that will not get it done in the NFL.

I'd say that in a competition that Hasselbeck will look better in OTA's/Training Camp but Locker will have an advantage in the Preseason games. If it's close then I think Locker will get the nod. I am rooting for him to take the job.

 

I expect Locker to beat him out this off-season and be starting Week 1. Munch says its an open competition and doesn't want to be hearing about a QB battle all year. Also saw that BA is loving Locker... might have an influence on who starts. Silly BA, just write the paychecks and stay away from the team.

 

Indeed.

Munchak already loves Hasselbeck. Just by the way he speaks of Hasselbeck makes me a little nauseous sometimes. But I don't hate him for being loyal to Hasselbeck, Hasselbeck is pretty good, and saved us from a rebuilding year. I do expect Locker to play at some point this year and be the guy from there on.
