Quote:What 3 extra games would we have won if we had a better punter?
Carolina (fumbles punt inside the 30 they drive to win game) Pittsburg( 2 kicks from close to endzone that does not cross the 50 yard line) Cleveland(Shanked punt led to easy TD for browns)
It was so obvouis a punter cost us games that jeansmiffs drafted one the next year in the 3rd round.
Quote:For me, this move gets marked as the first real disagreement I have had with Caldwell as far as personnel moves. Oh well, we knew it was coming.
I strongly agree. There goes the season, and possible my seat.
Quote:That makes absolutely no sense. Why not carry 3 QB's on the active roster come week 1 and beyond? The Redskins did it when they took Cousins and Griffin (they also had Grossman).
And if a QB does come along and wow everyone... Henne can be cut. It's that simple.
I didn't say it was a bad idea to carry 3 QB in the case of 2 being drafted this season. I just don't see the Jags carrying 3. They didn't last year, and could have sworn I remember Bradley or Caldwell last year saying that carrying 3 QB was something that they didn't prefer.

Lol
Quote:A bad backup, one that represents the losing culture we are trying to move on from and the signing of a veteran likely signals that we won't be drafting 2 QB in May. I strongly doubt they are carrying 3 QB on the active roster come week 1 and beyond.
Dude, chill.. He won't be our starter for much longer.. This team has gone years without a winning season. If anything, you should be excited that Henne is being retained because that means Gabbert is on borrowed time finally. Signing Henne makes the most sense. He's not going to command a ton of money, he knows the playbook, he's familiar with the team and he isn't a locker room distraction. Why throw money out to another back up QB who doesn't know the offense, and by the time he does learn the offense, will be holding the clipboard anyway? Henne was a great signing..
Quote:You honestly believe that McCown or Weeden are all that different than Henne? The only difference would be we'd at that point be guaranteed of keeping 3 QB on the roster, with the 2 rookies and Weeden/ or McCown. Now, we'll just avoid drafting that developmental QB altogether, and just draft one. I don't like it at all.
There are no guarantees. You don't know if we're going to avoid drafting that developmental QB altogether or not. If it still happens, you will be eating corneille for years to come.
And I'd rather have Henne than Luke McCown or Weeden. Shaun Hill is to Chad Henne, as Chad Henne is to Luke McCown and Weeden.

Things change when you have a rookie QB in place.
QB1- Bridgewater
QB2- Henne
PS- Shaw, Scott
Do people really think Henne is being retained to be anything more than a bridge, then backup to a rookie QB?
Do people really think retaining Henne will drastically alter our draft strategy?
Wow....

I don't think having a bad QB who knows the system > a better QB who would then need to learn it. I know the system thing will be the company line around here now, but Josh McCown or whoever coming in and learning the system would be better than a "seasoned" Henne. IMO. Plus as said removing Henne would be one less connection to the losing culture.
Caldwell hasn't steered us wrong yet. Chill out homies.

rather have:
QB1 Bridgewater
QB 2 Murray
QB 3/ Bridge QB/ insurance QB: Shaun Hill

Well, it happened whether you like it or not. My advice is to suck it up and move on..

Idc what you would rather have.
So we're freaking out over what may or may not happen in May on today - March 7?
Quote:Idc what you would rather have.
My QB scenario is certainly better than the one you suggested. If you care about my preferred QB depth chart or not is really of no relevance to me.
Quote:So we're freaking out over what may or may not happen in May on today - March 7?
The move made today will affect what moves happen in May.
Sorry that you are incapable of understanding that.

Yeah it's certainly better bro my bad.
Aaron Murray.... Yeah right. Dave is smarter than that.

You have no way of knowing that whatsoever. To pretend otherwise is well... you doing you I guess.
