How about Hasselbeck?

 

Some say the Vikings should have given the ball to rookie Christian Ponder at the beginning of the season and let him take over as quarterback, good or bad.

Others, including Vikings management, wanted veteran leadership and decided to go with Donovan McNabb.

They opted for McNabb instead of, say,  Seattle free agent Matt Hasselbeck, who was looking for a job last July.

Wouldn't Hasslelbeck look pretty good wearing Purple right around now?

On Sunday, he threw three touchdown passes in the first half leading the surprising Tennessee Titans to a 31-13 over the Cleveland Browns.

In case you haven't looked, the Titans are 3-1 and tied with Houston for the lead  of the AFC South.

The Vikings? You know their record and it isn't good.

Hasselbeck, 36, spent the last 10 seasons with Seattle. The Titans signed him to a three-year free agent deal in late July, a decision that caused some head scratching around the league.

Now who is having the last laugh?
