Matt Hasselbeck

So like some of it's that kind of stuff, but no, I think when you're the franchise quarterback, maybe it's not for you, but you being there is great for everybody else.

Maybe it's the number two quarterback and the number three quarterback.

Their job is to make their cadence sound exactly like your cadence.

So who's that going to help?

That's going to help the center.

It's going to help your tackles.

It's going to help your tight ends.

You know, all of a sudden you're like, Red 80, Red 80.

Like that rhythm is the rhythm.

But if you're not around to like set the standard and set the rhythm, how's your backup doing that?

Especially if it's a young guy.

So, you know, I think the camaraderie is a big thing.

Those lunch table kind of conversations with the coaches who are trying to come up with like, what are we going to be good at this year?

Hey guys, I really like this.

I don't like that.

What do you think?

It's a good idea, but what if we did this with it?

You know, all those kinds of things.

I think there's major value in your star player being there.
