ByJoshDubow TheAssociatedPress SANTACLARA MattHasselbeckis one of the poster boys for success when it comes to backup quarter- backs changing teams and becom- ing effective starters in the NFL. After throwing just 29 passes in his first three seasons as Brett Favre's backup in Green Bay, Has- selbeck spent most of the next 10 years as the starter in Seattle where he made six trips to the playoffs, one Super Bowl and three Pro Bowls. For every successful example like Hasselbeck or Mark Brunell, there are probably even more busts such as Brock Osweiler, Kevin Kolb and Matt Flynn. With backups quarterbacks such as Jimmy Garoppolo, Mike Glennon, A.J. McCarron and Colt McCoy possibly on the move this offseason, the task for talent eval- uators will be figuring out which group best fits each quarterback. "One of the things that helped me immensely was the fact that I was Brett Favre's backup for three years," Hasselbeck said. "I really became a better player by play- ing with him every single day. It's like playing golf with Jordan Spi- eth every day. You're just going to get better by osmosis." That was a similar pattern that Brunell followed. After two years as Favre's backup, Brunell was traded to Jacksonville where he made three Pro Bowls and four playoff appearances in eight sea- sons as starter for the Jaguars. Hasselbeck believes Garoppolo is in that same mold if a quarter- back-needy team tries to trade for him this offseason.
