Quote:So Cecil Shorts didn't develop over his first two seasons even though he was playing with one of the worst QBs of the last few years in Gabbert?

 

Just how stupid are you?

You might consider looking at the game logs over the past 2 seasons to see who was throwing the ball in the games where Shorts had his best production. 

 

Henne's production as a starter was significantly better than Gabbert's over the last 2 years, and Shorts benefited from that quite a bit.  Granted, Henne made boneheaded mistakes as well, but he wasn't nearly as awful as Gabbert.

 

Receivers can't develop if there isn't at least a competent QB throwing them the ball.  Henne is capable of putting up decent stats.
