Quote:I don't think anyone is saying a player can't be developed.  My point here is that any player who is a developmental project is not going to be considered an immediate upgrade for Henne.  He's going to require time to develop into the eventual starter.  I think most people feel that way.  There are probably only a few on this board who truly subscribe to the mindset that there is a legitimate immediate starter in the draft.

 

The point of this thread is that your best "bridge" option right now appears to be the guy who currently holds the starting position.  I would imagine the front office is getting ready to announce they've come to terms with Henne for an extension so they can have that insurance policy in place prior to the draft.  Henne knows the system, and he is serviceable until the eventual starter is up to speed. 

 

Um....a "bridge" QB is one that is the temporary caretaker starter until the DRAFTED future QB is ready - as in SAME SEASON. If the Jags bring back Henne next season while not drafting what they envision as their franchise QB high, then thats not the same situation.

 

Example: when the Eagles signed and started Doug Pederson the first half of 1999 when they already drafted McNabb at 2 to be the future. Thats a "bridge" QB....

 

 

Your use of "bridge" QB seems to be flawed.
