Matt Hasselbeck was classified as a “Star” in Trent Dilfer’s quarterback rating system; 9th overall. Dilfer joined the show to explain the system and also break down the modern NFL quarterback’s game versus that of the past.

He thinks “its just completely unfair and frankly ignorant to think that the position was as hard to play back then as it is now.”
