Quote:Chad Henne (as a backup isnt horrible) he knows the playbook, he's tough, and doesnt take a lot of risks.  The bad side about Chad is that he is least likely among the available QBs to get a first down or make a winning drive.  He wont however cause turnovers as much as others and is often labeled as a game manager.

All true. My point is that a rookie could do the job that Chad has done, and probably just as efficient. While it is true that a rookie wouldn't know the play book as well as a vet who's been on the team years now, there is little lost since Chad doesn't run all the plays either; knowing and doing are two different things. A young rookie would almost certainly be more athletic at this point than Chad and if nothing else make plays if necessary with their legs. And while we aren't hurting in the cap space area, I can't see spending money on a vet who effectively gives you little 'bang for the buck'.
