Quote:After just watching the Caldwell interview behind the podium fielding national questions at the combine today, I saw a different Caldwell than I expected. He was obviously nervous and seemed slightly uncomfortable. Towards the end, (paraphrasing) he mentions that Henne went 500 in the last 8 games, and with additional playmakers and an improved OL, he could be decent. It was the first time that his answer seemed to not be rehearsed and slipped out as it did in his nervousness and discomfort. I know I may be overreading it, but it almost looked like he wanted to take back the comment once made. I immediately thought of this topic, and thought the Watkins suggestion may have more merit than I first thought.


I encourage anyone to take a look at his combine video just posted on this site, and would love to know others' thoughts.

 

Maybe I am unable to pick up stuff like that, but I never thought he was nervous while talking about winning four games.

 

That was not the first time he praised Chad Henne. Apparently he thinks if we can't get our "franchise quarterback" in the draft this year we can survive one more season with Henne under center while waiting for the 2015 draft.
