Henne, Long, Dansby and Bell voted Team Captains for 2011!

[Heinegrabber]

Well since one of my heartfelt "WTF" responses (not to you) that also slurred my state and the state our team operates out of got removed, I'll be a little more measured, but no less blunt this time around. (If that was you Tyler, you're a bad Bahamian!)

I could give a **** whether some armchair QB who might well be hundreds/thousands miles away and sees all of 2 if any live games a year resents Henne being named captain. Those opinions smack of transparent sour grapes to me as I'm sure they're meaningless to his actual teammates who've seen him up close and personal, must depend upon him and spent the last few months during the lockout and in organized daily workouts re-forming what was a previously skeptical opinion. Whether you're pulling for Henne to succeed or not, to not even begrudgingly acknowledge the symbolism of this honor bestowed on him by "a jury of his peers" is just chicken****.

Now certainly his detractors are entitled to feel however they choose regarding whether he'll be successful or not. Ain't nothing wrong with that, but to denigrate the vote by the people who professionally know him best rather than saying something to the effect of "I've got my doubts, a zebra doesn't change its stripes, etc, but I can see he's trying.. so props to him for that" speaks more negatively about you than about Henne. Hell, Taco was named a captain; it's more symbolic that speaks positively toward the team dynamics than having anything to do with functionality. Believe me, if he ****s up, captain or not, he'll be pulled for Moore.

I'm probably not gonna compete for anything this post season, so consequently I'm not gonna hesitate to call out agenda-driven bull**** when I see it whether or not it offends or ruffles feathers. Sorry. :idk:

To make this simple how would it look for the phins to take the field and the starting qb on week 1 is not a captain. Pure politics. By the way I am rooting for him but he has a lot to prove.

It's like some fin fans don't watch the preseason or read the articles from camp...

One preseason made him Marino to some people. I will stand behind my previous post if Henne beats the pats I will change my sig.

yeah it couldn't have anything to do with the fact he EARNED his teammates respect with his leadership abilities. OH and if that was the case why wasn't he a captain last year?

You dont just wake up and say oh yeah I'm a leader. He sucked last year. Was benched and Chad Pennington had more respect on the bench than Henne had on the field. The almighty and fearless leader cant handle being BOOED in training camp.The elcetion was rigged. Chad you still have a lot to prove.

Yea I guess organizing offseason workouts before anyone else did isn't leadership. Henne was starting QB last year, but he wasn't captain. Why wasn't it rigged last year?

what makes u think he cant handle it? did he run into the lockeroom crying? no, he stood out there, continued to practice and work on his game with the chants, you have no argument on this subject. Henne is mentally strong, he can handle it just fine.

yeah, keep arguing and belittling an accomplishment and discretionary honor bestowed on him by his teammates -from your armchair 1000 miles away.. and if he has a bad game, i'm sure you'll be the first again to litter this board with hateful thread-starters like in the past. (which I will start flagging).

The fact that you can't even begrudgingly give props where they're due says more about your OCD than Henne and however he performs. You're so hard-wired for hatred that there's no room for any objectivity. As a consequence at this point you've forfitted any credibility when it comes to Henne - except among other agenda-based haters (and your biases on this demonstrate that there's a difference between subjective "haters" and those who consider themselves "realists." ) As I said before, if you can't at least give credit where it's justifiably due, then you're better off shutting your piehole than revealing yourself for what you truly are.
