Quote:Henne instills zero confidence in anyone that he will win a game, which is why I profess that he ain't even a good back-up QB as one would like to have some confidence that if your back-up has to come in you might still win. I find it difficult to watch just knowing that it's only a matter of time until he screws something up. If he's lucky he will win approx 25% of the games he plays.

 

In summation, On a suckness scale of 1-10, with 10 being the suckiest, Henne comes in at a solid 10.

 

I still don't understand why some people don't get this.

 

Having Henne as you backup isn't really different than having someone like Gabbert as the backup. He's not a young lion pushing the guy ahead of him, he's a washed up former second round pick that has no business on the field. That Caldwell wanted him signed so badly heading into free agency is either an indictment of the available talent in free agency and the draft, or of Caldwell's ability to evaluate QB talent.

 

If it's just that we have a crew in charge that is stupid enough to believe that QB talent can be made up for in other areas then it's the worst possible scenario.
