    If this team wants to have a chance early on in the season, Jake Locker HAS to be the starter....in his time last year he showed so much potential and ability to get the ball downfield....and remember, Kenny Britt never even played with him....with the Pats, Lions, Chargers, and Texans the first games of the year, we'll have to put up 28+ to have a realistic chance to win

    You have to think the coaching staff realizes this too.....Hasselbeck will be another year older and just doesn't have the shoot-out ability potential that Locker has

    This is one reason I think Munch will do everything in his power to allow Locker to line up against Brady in Week 1

    Really? Thats for certain? I mean, because Hass wasn't getting it done early in the season?

    Jake does not HAVE to be the starter for us to do well. Our best chances for success is for our running game to be back and have a healthy Britt.

    Hopefully starting positions will be won based on the best performances in training camp and kept by performing well in games. CJ is talking like he's motivated to get back.

    The only thing that's certain is some fans don't believe in Hasselbeck.

    Don't underestimate Hasselbeck. Remember, we'll actually have a full offseason with training camp and OTA's. It will be an interesting QB competition. If either one wins the job, we'll atleast have one of the better backups. Not alot of teams can say that.

    Locker gives us the best chance at a run. We've seen what Hasselbeck can do. We haven't seen what Locker can do. Pre-season will hopefully give us a good comparison of where the two QB's are at.

    Hass is good, but that is it. He will beat the teams he is supposed to beat, and he will lose to the teams he is supposed to lose too. with Hass we will be an average - above average team. I could see him taking us anywhere between 7-10 wins. I really think Locker could put us over the top. He will have some growing pains here and there, but it will be better for us in the long run.

    I agree with the OP. We will need to move the ball to stand a chance in the beginning of the season. Hass struggled moving the ball a lot last year. There is no way we can beat the Patriots if we go through the entire 1st half w/ only 1 or 2 1st downs, something Hass managed to do multiple times last year. Will Locker be able to move the ball? I don't know, time will tell, but there is much more evidence pointing to Hass not being able to.

    KB and CJ will have to be on top of their game no matter who starts though.

    If Hasselbeck had any help at all from Mr. Johnson last year, fans would be willing to let him have another swing at it.

    I love Locker, dude will be great, but I'm also cool with giving Hasselbeck the ball.
