One thing a few of the posters over there at ganggreen were saying was that Chad doesn't have great pocket awareness. After about the first three games I was absolutely convinced of the same thing. He was thinking too much. He had no clock in his head because he was trying to get up to speed with reading defenses, moving safties and not completely comfortable of his progressions. But WOW has he improved. Sometimes it is as if he has eyes in the back of his head.
The game has really slowed down for Henne in a way that it hasn't yet for Mark. Sitting on the bench for a year can either be great or terrible depending on the person. For Chad it was great.
Now having said all that I will go on to say this. I also believe Mark has more potential. He has more upside. He has more upside like Matt Castle had more upside than Brady. Castle had more mobility, as good a arm, great pocket presents, could throw with touch or throw a bullet, was very accurate, and was quite coachable. On Madden if you didn't have their history you just watched them for a few games and gave them a rating, then you would maybe have Castle as high or higher than Brady. The part you can't see with upside is the poise under pressure. Some have it, Elway, Marino, Brady and now even Henne as 3 4th quarter comebacks will attest, and some are better QBs the first 3 quarters. I think Castle, Sanchez, Romo and maybe even Rodgers can be on that list.
Time could change that. Mark could become more comfortable and be better under pressure but right now Chad seems to have that "it" that so many front offfices are searching.
