Quote:All those things he needs to improve are going to determine his performance, which needs to be better than Henne before playing.

 

I agree, once he is ready, the job is his.  I just don't see the point in saying, "It's not a competition" when the players are clearly competing to get on the field.  When that is, we don't know yet.... not even GuS/Dave.  And it's certainly too early to say, "It's been laid to rest."  It definitely hasn't.  It's going to take a full preseason and TC before the coaches determine who should start.

 

 

The notion that it's a competition would have merit if the team hadn't already said he's the starter when they determine he's ready to assume that role.  They didn't say anything about an open competition.  They didn't even hint at competition.  He's the starting QB when he's ready.  They've even spoken to Henne to make sure he understands his role and what the possibilities are. 

 

It has been laid to rest multiple times.  The problem here is some folks just won't pull their heads out of the sand and listen to what the head coach and GM are saying.
