It was well written for a third grader.
Simply stated, long before you even thought of fair-weather-fanning the jest and long after you've moved on to advocate Penny starting over the incumbent for whatever future team he may end up -if his China Doll body isn't again broken, Vaark has been and will be blue. I mean get real: how can we take you seriously when up until 8/08 you were no doubt actively rooting against our team? Sorry but sincerity doesn't resonate.
But to answer your question (and to put things into perspective for most everyone else), what'll make me happy is if, whenever it is, after Penny departs, the 08 Penny related avi members are still active on FH to the same extent with the same enthusiasm, eh? Right now, you and others specifically coming here because of Penny, not team and advocating his insertion for possible short term gain on the heels of us experiencing Fiedler, Dulpecker, Feeley, Lucas, etc is reminiscent of the BYU fans who came here for Beck and are now long gone.

Get over it blue boy, I have just as much right to post here as anyone else, and I will continue to do so. This is all in good fun, except for those of you who take it WAY too seriously.

I do think Chad is a good leader and he does have a good arm.
BUT, if we are talking about intangeables like anticipation, touch, or having a good release....then he "as of now" he falls short on those.
Is he a Drew Bledsoe or a poor man's Drew Bledsoe??? We will find out this year. I'm not sure he'll ever be a top 10 QB but i do think he'll start in the nfl for some time.

i usually stay out of those debates, because rarely does anything good come out of this, but i'll say so much: if we ever want to find out whether we have a QB in Henne, he must play. he's not going to get any better on the bench. that ship has sailed.

I think he played with Joe Montanya (Water Boy reference).

Henne is a third year QB, not a second. And I seem to remember a certain #10 doing a pretty damn good job as a field general in his 3rd year in NY in 2002.
Imo Chad Henne is not command of this offense, he know's what he wants to do but he doesn't have the ability to make a big play from his posistion, a QB has to be a field general, for example when a play breaks down instead of trying not to make a mistake he needs to be more acertive and try to create something out a bad situation, now we know that the int's will come but I think it sends the wrong message for him just to be the caretaker of the football, taking chances and succeding in them often breaks the other team spirit, just like Manning, Morino, just when you think you have them sacked they somehow make a play, I honestly don't see that in chad henne, if he calls a play and the play breaks down he takes a sack or throw an int. He might be a good Qb but the fins might as well puy noodle arm back in because the the team seems different and there is more command out on the field. This team is laden with talent but it all starts and end with the Qb, if he plays like crap then the team most likely lose unless the can control the rock on the ground. I have seen 3 preseason games and in all of them the fins looks good one series and the next they stink, Like last week when Y Bell picked of ryan and the posistion of the football was around the 50 yard line, the team got nil, if it had been Manning you can take it to the bank that a touchdown or at 3 points was going up on the board. Maybe it's the play calling but for some reason it's business as usual in this offense.
If teams expects to win then it needs to come from the player who needs to excute, the coaches who needs to call the most favorable play that has a chance to succeed, and take some risks, this is a good team, please don't waste Brandon Marshall talents running wildcat plays with slow runninbacks, if you need a QB then develop Henne, this team will always be able to run but it's time to open up this offense or this team will be just like last year's team daydreaming about the playoffs.
Agree 100%
Then why don't we wait and see what Henne can do in his 3rd year before we say whether or not he is a field general.
Lol.. This entire post is ridiculously funny.. Wanna hear a fact? Henne has had a whopping total of 16 drives this preseason. Thats an average of about 5 drives per game. I just love how you came up with this entire synopsis of a 1st year, full time starter (of which I gladly didnt spend alot of time reading for obvious reasons) by watching only an average of 5 Henne drives/game.
Looked like a field general to me when he brought us from behind to really compete against Tennessee, Houston, NE, etc...

Although he is a 2nd year player.. consider his 1st he was really a redshirt.
