Don't know if he would have devolped the same way in Miami as he did in Seattle. He may have come to the Dolphins and bombed quickly before moving on to a better situation. But if it did work out, Hasselbeck could have been a decent qb for Miami.
21yrs ago and Hasselbeck didn't exactly turn into a HOF....so, zero fuqs

Would have been better than Fiedler and maybe have a shot at a SB instead of wasting the Ricky years, but whatever. Missing on Brees was the bigger play.

Apparently, Jimmy Johnson almost traded for Peyton Manning as well. Forget the cost, but Manning following Marino would have solved the quarterback void that existed after Dan retired.
I believe it would have been essentially for the entire draft class that year.

Does it really matter? Hasselbeck was just another mediocre QB and we have had plenty of them since Marino retired.
And Ross tried to get Brady
Only one of the events mentioned isn’t ancient history and I only give a toss about one of them.
Oh and Peyton and Harbaugh

Wasn't it Jimmy who almost pulled off a trade for Barry Sanders?

Hasselbeck could have been an earlier version of Tannehill for Miami. Decent if you build the right offense and coaching staff around him.
Tannehill was just a mediocre QB for the Dolphins. So basically Hasselbeck would have been exactly what I stated earlier. Just another mediocre QB and no better than Fiedler.

I think so. I wish he would have made the Manning trade.

We need better LB's
So we had a chance to get Drew Brees and didn't, a chance to get Payton Manning and didn't, a chance to Get Tom Brady and didn't, a chance to get Lamar Jackson and didn't... The list is actually longer but didn't want to get into a dispute on a few people I would name next.
Missing on that much greatness will make you horrible throughout the years. That said, us passing over Matt Hasselbeck won't make me lose sleep at night.

Perfect Summation. I hope we don’t have to add “had a chance to get Herbert but didn’t” to that list.

And Pittsburgh had a chance to get Marino and it kills them to this day
