I have no problem with Gus saying Henne is the starter even if we draft a QB at #3. In fact, I'm relieved he's not going to force a rookie out there until he's ready. I'm not sure why some folks around here can't seem to grasp that it's rare to find a rookie you can plug in as a starter day one. Even more so with this draft class being void of a sure thing at the position. There are developmental guys who may ascend to a franchise level QB, but not right away.

 

 

Anymore, its "rare" that you get a QB that does not start from day one. 

 

The only time you really need to take it slow with a QB is when you draft one that is raw and has many flaws that need "fixing". When you draft a QB the right way and take one that has a "high floor" and don't need much altering with his delivery/ mechanics etc etc, then you can usually plug him in as starter from day one.
