Quote:Only a mental midget would consider Mike Vick or RGIII an upgrade BTW.

Easy there, tiger. The last memories we have of Henne playing aren't good and finding his good performances amongst the sea of bad is a challenge in and of itself. Remember virtually the entire stadium was chanting for Bortles when Henne struggled at the beginning of last season, as he did the year before. If the QB play wasn't atrocious I don't think that would have happened so quickly. Who knows? Maybe he's gotten better since we last saw him in regular season action.


I'm not championing the cause of bringing in either guy you mentioned, but I would still consider either of them just as I would consider re-signing Henne. Vick is old and inconsistent and RGIII seems to have fallen off a cliff, but we're holding them up to Henne, not Bortles. And both QBs have played at a higher level at times than Henne has ever shown he could. It may be clear for Caldwell on what to do since Henne has been in the building for 4 years, but we're not operating with the same info he is. I would also say that Blake's mobility and ability to buy extra time has helped him tremendously behind the lackluster line we have. Henne hasn't shown he has that ability, but RGIII and Vick might bring more of that to the table. The question is, is Vick too old and did RGIII's injury take too much of what made him good away and/or is he still a head case? He's been served a big ol' piece of humble pie and to his credit we haven't really heard a peep out of him.


Maybe Caldwell has a plan he's confident that will vastly improve the Oline this offseason and if that happens Henne could have some success if called upon. I'm ok with that, but it's not mental midgetry to do your due diligence and at least consider all options. I also like the idea of drafting a guy to be the backup and developing him, but I can't see Gus liking that too much without someone more experienced being the #2.
