the quarterback position. we have a defense that is on the verge of establishing itself as being elite, yes I'm talking top 5, we were 6th last year and I think we can take that step to the next level, were young, big, and physical, although i would like to see us upgrade the FS position and I'm still not totally sold on Sean Smith I still think this defense is going to be real good for years to come, not to mention we have Mike Nolan calling the shots. Now on the other side of the ball we do have some playmakers, marshall, bess, thomas, bush, hartline, clay, gates, a good offensive line, and i would still like to see us add one more playmaker but the offense for the most part is there, but there is one problem and thats the QB position, I think it is holding this whole team back from being a serious contender this year, I hope Henne proves us wrong but I just dont see it, if he hasnt gotten it now Idk if he ever will. It's not necessarliy his physical attributes its the "little things". the guy has a great arm and can make all the throws in the NFL and from what I hear the guy does work hard and is at the gym before anybody but thats not the problem, its the small intangibles that matter. I remember watching one of our games last year and rich gannon saying that he studied hennes games and that his pre-snap reads are horrible, he does not adjust well at the line of scrimmage, he does not read defenses well, I also remember last year in the browns game on our first drive it was a 3rd & 9 from around the 30yrd line of the browns and henning gave henne the option to call a pass or run a draw, well in the huddle henne looked at ricky and says "were running a draw", thats not the makings of a leader, I want a guy who wants the ball in his hands in the clutch situations, who feels confident he is going to get the first down, I dont think he is an "alpha male", when he walks into the lockeroom do the players look at him as the leader? I dont think they do, like i said i dont think he has "it", bradford gets it, freeman does, matt ryan did, flacco does, sanchez does, and even colt mccoy seems like he gets it, idk i just dont think henne will ever have "it" because its something u have to be born with, and its holding this team back from taking that next step.
