David Climer of theย Nashville Tennesseanย “suspects” that veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck is “solidly ahead” of Jake Locker right now in regards to their current quarterback competition.
Climer points toย Hasselbeck’s experience along with the team’s tough schedule this season as the two main reasons why he believes the team will go with him over Locker come Week 1.
There are no guarantees at this point in the season, but the general consensus from those close to the team has been that Hasselbeck will most likely hold Locker and win the job. With a tough schedule ahead of them and young quarterback waiting in the wings, it would be surprising to see Hasselbeck holding the position by the half way point.
