Henne prepares for contract year

[Vertical Limit]

Having a strong arm is a trait, not a talent. Matt Leinart was a better football player in college, I had the pleasure of watching him pick apart defenses and lead crazy comebacks for the Trojans. The guy was a winner, Henne has been a loser on every level he has played into and especially in Michigan.

That wouldn't be funny at all. First of all, if Henne got 50 million is because he marched us to a Super Bowl victory and he was the MVP. If that happens then hooray for us and hooray for Henne for learning how to play football. I don't care who's the franchise QB's name, it can be Devlin, Carpenter can convert to QB for all I care, I just want a ****ing quarterback. <br>

But from what I've seen so far from Henne he's not it, and the only reason why he gets as many chances as he does is because our FO is filled with clowns who don't bring the proper competition to push Henne. All these years not drafted a quarterback in the first or second round, we shouldn't be settling with just one QB, we should have drafted several by now and have them all compete till we get the right one. But no, let's keep drafting linebackers and linemen.<br>

Matt Leinart who was 10 times the prospect of Henne did not get this many opportunities. I bet Leinart wished he was drafted by Miami to get all these chances to start without showing much of anything.

The reason he keeps getting chances is because he pulls the odd game off that is excellent. IN todays NFL everyone wants you to be great now. If that was the case 20-30 years ago. Steve Young would never have gotten a chance, nor Rich Gannon, or Kurt Warner, though closer to now. Plus many others. Look at his Jets game 2 years ago or Titans or Raiders games last year. He has something there that they are hoping to bring out of him.

Leinart showed absolutely nothing. he doesn't have a big league arm or big league smarts. He played on the 33 NFL team in college. That team was so stacked on both sides of the ball it was insane.

The NFL wasteland is littered with collegiate "winners" who were taken too high in the draft but didn't have the talent to make it in the NFL. Leinart's just another in a long line. IIRC, in 1983 the "winner" of the quarterback class was Todd Blackledge. John Elway had never even led Stanford to a winning season, much less a bowl game. Dan Marino had just come off a bad year.

In 2006, I had Jay Cutler has the #1 overall player in the draft. Vince Young I had as a late first rounder. I thought -- then as now -- that he had ability as a passer. Leinart, as I've said, was a third rounder.

Henne will be out of football next year

Thats about as likely as Henne getting a huge contract, actually less likely. He s more than capable of being a back up and FYI teams carry 3 QB s. I think he ll manage to make somebody's roster. Your hatred for him makes you lose any common sense you may have had.
