But the general principle is true... there is an art to being a 60% fave and "managing" that into a 75% chance to win.

Hasselbeck is no Peyton Manning, especially not these days - that's just stating the obvious.
But I'm in the camp that says the non-flashy QB's, including Dilfer for a few years and Hasselbeck in his twilight, Dave Krieg, Brad Johnson, Jim McMahon, and those guys can be a lot tougher to beat than fans give them credit for.
Fans with a wave of their hands say "ah, it was the defense," but how many great defenses fail to win the Super Bowl?

Knox used to say, "There are QB's you win BECAUSE OF, and QB's you can win WITH."  Putting Krieg in the latter category.
Hass is obviously in the "win with" category, at best, but hey.... the Cardinals are wishing they had one of those right now...
