Didn't like the part about the sacks to Henne, but some info on White, could he be unleashed against the pats this week just like the wildcat was last year? I'm not sold, he doesn't look natural when he takes snaps I get so damn worried...

The 2009 offseason featured the addition of two quarterbacks with two-syllable names by two teams hoping to enhance their change-of-pace Wildcat attack: Mike Vick and Pat White.

But neither has done much through the first half of the season.

In Miami, White has taken only 13 snaps all year.

Part of the problem is that the season-ending injury suffered by quarterback Chad Pennington has forced the Dolphins to be more cautious with White, who is one snap, crackle, or pop away from becoming the every-down quarterback.

"I maybe at the beginning of the summer thought I might have a little different use for him, a little more,'' coach Tony Sparano said recently, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. "The reason why his snap count is down is because he is the next quarterback. Our quarterback got sacked six times [Sunday], so you could be the next one really fast if you keep that stuff up."

Meanwhile, White realizes he has a lot more work to do in order to become an NFL quarterback. "My accuracy has gotten better, but it's not where it needs to be," White said.

For the season, White has thrown one pass (incomplete), and he has rushed four times for two yards.

With Chad Henne looking good so far as the starter, White will have plenty of time to develop.

Unless and until Henne suffers the same fate as the other Chad.
 
I don't even want to think of chad going down. Then again that is the reality of it all, Does anyone know if chad H. has a history of injuries? I didn't really watch him much in college.

His senior year at Michigan was his only injury plagued year. He started all his games his freshman, sophmore, and junior years. Henne is about as tough and durable as they come.

Coachspeak bs by Sparano. If Henne goes down for any length, Tyler Thigpen is the QB.

As far as Florio suggesting White could be a "secret weapon" so to speak for the New England game.....meh. That **** has been brought up EVERY week. Especially by WVU fanatics. Every ****ing week, this is going to be the game they bring out something special for Pat White. After so many times of hearing it, you have to believe its bs. If they had something special cooked up for White to do he wouldve already done it in one of those Jets games. Plus they tried that **** week one and the guy missed a pass that Bob Euker wouldve said it was "juuuussst a bit overthrown".

Besides, what is it that Pat White is going to do that will be so special that he is a secret wildcat weapon? He cant throw. He cant run. Is he going to pooch punt on a 4th down out of the wildcat at midfield?

The only truth Sparano gave in that clip there was that during the summer he THOUGHT Pat White was going to be of use to this team.

That line about White having plenty of time to develope because Henne is playing well is hillarious. If Henne continues to play at a high level and improve, he is the starter for us for at least the next decade. Thats the plan at least im sure. So what the **** is White being developed for. Being the starter in 2024? Get real. Pat White ****ing blows.

What a total bust. Cut him at seasons end please. Unless of course we play Uconn and Rutgers next season. I havent seen the schedule yet. If we play them, then Pat White could run wild and lead us to a couple of wins.
 
Henne is a tough dude. He started 47 of 49 games at Michigan over 4 years.
He was hurt in his senior year and missed 2 games. He played in others that year when he wasn't really ready to come back. The Senior injury is the only reason we got him late in the 2nd round. His stats weren't that great in his final year with the nicks

Aye, your posts have been on a decline recently. I used to back you up when you actually made sense that John Beck, Culpepper, and Jason Allen blow. But now you are attacking a player who you haven't seen at all this year, and you have no clue what goes on in practice.

Dude, Ive seen every game Pat White has ever played since he graduated high school. He blows.

As a full-time QB I agree. I was at U of Pitt and saw plenty of his games as well. Not as many as you,but I believe he can be a good Change of Pace QB. Instilling him ala Wildcat.

Can you offer some insight on why he blows?
 
Wow WV, hate White much? Kinda hard to take your opinion seriously the way you present it. He may not work out as an NFL QB, but to claim he sucked in collage!
I get the sense that "everyone" "blows" perhaps even you, dude.
 
Pat White and Ted Ginn recently went to see a rated R movie together, and both were turned away when they didn't have their ID on them.
 
slow down wv, of course white is going to look a little rough at the moment, he's a rook whos not getting many snaps with the first team.
In college he had better stats and more championships than more than couple of these first round picks the past two years; he couldn't have been that terrible. 4 bowl games means something.
at the very least, its way too early to call him a bust. of course he's not going to be the back-up if henne goes down, we've got a qb with a similar style as white, with a few years of experiance, experiance will start over a rook 94% of the time.
let's not forget when henne got short looks last year, he didnt look all that impressive.
 
If they are gonna use White during games they need to bring him out earlier. That could give the opposing more to think about for the duration of the game. And let him throw a smoke play so he can get some kind of rhythm goin..
