He should get the start for the season.  I don't give a damn what anyone says, he's ready and he's shown it from the scrimmage, through camp, and now all three outings in the preseason.  I think he'd be locked in as the starter had they got Mack at center.  I think the uncertainty of the OL is the only thing holding him back anymore.  

 

He will take his lumps throughout the season if he starts day 1, he will have rookie moments and he will struggle but I think he's proven he's more than mentally capable of handling those situations.  The game is not too big, the moment is not too big, he can handle it.

 

If you start Henne, you run the risk of the rest of the young guys on offense not being able to develop properly.  Henne simply isn't a starting QB in the league and never has been.  His hesitancy to throw anything other than a short pass is NOT good for the WRs/TE and their development.
