I dunno man I think Green Bay may be the front runner right now and that sucks. They've done better recently in the playoffs (as in, GETTING TO the playoffs), they are close to where Henson played his college ball, and I'm sure the prospect of learning under Brett Favre is attractive to him...even just playing WITH Brett Favre has to be attractive for him. Another thing is that with Green Bay, you know exactly what you're dealing with. When Favre retires, Henson takes over. Its like what Griese had in Denver. He knew that when Elway retires, he takes over. Favre meanwhile publically contemplates retirement every year nowadays and he'll probably play one more season just to see if he can win it all again then be done with it. Then Henson takes over because the Pack doesn't have anyone else.
With us, the timing is a bit off. We're in a QB bind NOW. We need one right now, and Henson's gotta know there's no way in heck we are about to let him go and have a crack at it his first year back from baseball. So then its all about what Miami does to take care of their starting QB situation. If they decide to let Fiedler hold down the job until our future guy is ready, I suppose Miami would be almost as attractive as Green Bay because he would know that the area fans are DYING to see Fiedler get off the field and would love whoever comes in to replace him. But I doubt we keep Fiedler. Soooo....if we give the job to Sage Rosenfels (my personal choice) that presents a problem for Henson because Sage is also pretty young (I wouldn't doubt it if he and Sage were of an age actually), and what if Sage does well? That could delay Henson's coming out party and cloud things up significantly. Then there's a Mark Brunell, who told reporter(s) something to the extent of him not wanting to play on a team with a future franchise QB (first rounder) because he thinks he's got 3 or 4 good playing years left in him and he doesn't want to be forced out. That, obviously is nowhere near as attractive as playing under a Brett Favre who will gracefully bow out within a year or two. By all indications Brunell is gonna go kicking and screaming. A lot of the other QB options out there for Miami don't make things any simpler. The only guy Miami could sign and have Henson know for sure that he'll have the opportunity to play within a year or two, is probably Rich Gannon.
That or Rodney Peete. Hehe
