Ideal Backup QB?

2

Here's a poll from 'Hawk fans regarding this season's starter at QB. Matt Hasselbeck is still loved in Seattle, but his welcome is a bit worn thin, as fans are chomping on the bit for the franchise guy (sound familiar?) As it's not clear that Matt will be leaving Seattle, this is still somewhat of a longshot. Additionally, Hasselbeck still feels like he should be starting, so I"m not sure he'd even consider Buffalo. The Titans and Dolphins are reported to be landing spots, but I have a hard time seeing one of those teams investing starter QB money in Matt Hasselbeck. But if I were able to pick a perfect type of player for the # 2 QB, it'd be this guy. He's not going to come in and win you a lot of games at this stage in his career, but if you want a solid option in the case Fitzy goes down, this is it. He took a team to the Super Bowl, and would have won it if the refs didn't call the worst game in SB history. While his athleticism is dwarfed his intellectual abilities, he's the type of character that functions perfectly as a leader. He's as plug-and-play QB worthy as anyone. It's just a thought. Like I said, it would be all about Matt being willing to gracefully step into the 2nd chair, and while that seems unlikely to me, I'd rather he do it in Buffalo than anywhere else.
