There is a reason that Huard has been a backup QB for 10+ years in the NFL.....

People on this board, I would say 99.9% didnt even want Huard on the roster openind day. Now question wether he should be a starter or not?

Fickle, very fickle...

Now let me see , If my memory serves me tonight. Matt Hasselbeck was the bacup to Favre in Green Bay . Holmgren leaves for Seattle and takes Matt with him. Now Matt is the starting QB at Seattle . You see Huard can't become any kind of great QB when you don't play him , Green has been goin down fookin hill for the last 2 years , I bet you thought it was just fookin dandy when Elvis G. replaced Ghannon huh .
just some info from the past :
The Kansas City Chiefs signed Gannon to a free-agent deal in the spring of 1995. For two years, the "journeyman" quarterback received limited action in his backup role.

That scenario changed in 1997, when Gannon earned nine starts and won six of them, including a five-game winning streak that enabled the Chiefs to claim an AFC West title.

He picked up 10 more starts in '98, passing for a then-career best 2,305 yards.

"I played quite a bit in my last two years in Kansas City, and finally catapulted myself into a position where teams were considering me as a starter," he recalled.

One person in particular was Raiders head coach John Gruden. Gruden, the Eagles' offensive coordinator from 1995 to 1997, was the only coach to give Gannon a chance to start full time in the NFL.

Inked by Oakland in 1999, Gannon tied hall-of-famer Ken Stabler for the team record for completions in a season (304) and threw for a career-best 3,840 yards.

It might be deja vu regarding Huard , I bet the raiders would take him in a minute , Peterson's a dumbass ................

Nope supported Gannon.... Green is 5 times the QB Grbac was. Gannons should of continued to start.

Tell you what. Herm leaves and takes Huard with him in a couple of weeks then we will all be happy and Hootie will follow them to another message board.

How is that?

Hasselbeck was only in his third season when Holmgren went to Seattle.
