Henne To Start in London, Gabbert to Back up

Why are the Jaguars "likely to face" Jeff Tuel? Or Jason Campbell? Or not Andrew Luck? How far into your read end do you have to reach to pull this stuff out?
Quote:Tampa Bay remaining Schedule: The Dolphins lost on their home field to Thad Lewis and the Bills. Why wouldn't that be a winnable game for the Bucs?
Quote:Stop worrying about the #1 pick in the draft people. It aint happening. The Bucs have quit on Schiano and they will lose to make sure he's gone. MAYBE after he is fired in the later part of the season they will pick up 1 or 2 wins but I doubt the Jags are so bad they lose against this much easier schedule coming up after the BYE week. You don't know it won't happen. No team ever loses to get rid of the head coach. They lose every week because they suck. That organization is so screwed up I bet he can keep his job until the regualar season is over. About our quarterbacks: Henne is a more accurate passer, but holds the ball longer before throwing it.
Quote:Why are the Jaguars "likely to face" Jeff Tuel? Or Jason Campbell? Or not Andrew Luck? How far into your read end do you have to reach to pull this stuff out? Jason Campbell was named Browns starter today. Luck and the rest of the Colts starters will likely be resting week 17 as the division will be locked up by then. Any more clown questions by you?

Quote:I miss the good ol days when you used to back Gabbert no matter what. Thanks for coming around and realizing that both QB's suck. Welcome Home. I never backed Gabbert no matter what, I just said that given everything we knew leading into this season the only sensible thing to do was start him. It's been posters such as yourself that had been convinced already that Henne had to start in spite of also being terrible that were off. Like I said after the Rams game, I don't care if I never see Gabbert play again, but I certainly won't be relieved to see captain checkdown Chad in the game scoring between 6 and 12 points. Watching him in the Rams game was sickening. He might turn it around one day like Alex Smith did, but right now it looks like he reached his plateau, and that plateau looks like its at career 3rd stringer just like Henne.
Quote:I'm not saying anything about going on a winning streak, but even 2 or 3 wins in those 8 could mean the difference between getting even a top 2 pick and not, let alone Bridgewater. If you know anything about the playoffs, you know teams don't rest their starters until they clinch the #1 seed in the conference. The Colts are not going to do that this year.
Quote:No team ever loses to get rid of the head coach. Ever? Is this your first year of watching football?

Quote:If you know anything about the playoffs, you know teams don't rest their starters until they clinch the #1 seed in the conference. The Colts are not going to do that this year. I don't see the Colts hanging record-wise with the Broncos all year. By the time week 17 comes up, there will be more than a 1 game difference between those 2 teams, hence there won't be any battle for the #1 seed at that point. It will have been long decided by then.

They just threw Gabbert out there the first couple games to see if he had made progress... he didn't (obviously we all knew that).. now that Gabbert is healthy, they are going with the better QB. Simple elementary by dear Watson.
If Gabbert gets released, do you think he'll still get a workout from another team? Just for kicks, it'll be interesting to see how his career unfolds.
I mean, somebody like David Carr still gets calls every now and then.

Simple elementary by dear Watson.I don't see a difference. Only thing is Henne isn't worried about earning a starting job because he wasn't competing for one. It was just a question of whether Gabbert would implode or if he'd get better. He imploded and Henne is the benefactor. We're talking about the difference between two guys who have thrown 7 and 5 INTs this season each and both have been repeatedly blown out. Henne's signature game is an effort against the 29th ranked that ended up with 12 points from the offense. Calling him better is wrong, it implies there's any level of quality for either of them. They're both equally miserable, they just manifest it in different ways. Henne shows it by throwin repeated checkdowns and into guys arms and then INTs when the pressue starts to get higher. Gabbert shows it by being inconsistent and unable to stay in the pocket after the first time he gets hit or throws an INT. We show less advertisements to registered users.

After two seasons as the starter, the writing was on the wall, it was just that you and someone like Pete Prisco chose not to look at it. I mean really, whenever there was a discussion on Gabbert vs Henne, you adamantly defended Gabbert on why you believe he is better than Henne, even though you now claim you "never backed Gabbert no matter what". But it's cool though. It's all over now. The Gabbert/Henne experience will be officially over after this season.

The Broncos aren't even in first place right now. Quote:I don't see a difference. Only thing is Henne isn't worried about earning a starting job because he wasn't competing for one.

We all watched the same Jags game. Henne played like he's one of the worst starting QB in the league; Gabbert played like he didn't belong in the NFL.
Quote:John Oehser@<b>JohnOehser</b>10m Hilarious .... in other words, we're starting the QB that is less worse than the other QB We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Quote:The Broncos aren't even in first place right now. ....and still have a better record than the Colts. At seasons end, Its a safe bet to anyone paying attention that Denver will have the #1 seed, The Chiefs can't hang with the Broncos with Alex Smith playing QB. They'll be swept by Denver. For someone who acts like he's so football smart, you've laid a lot of eggs in posts today.
Quote:....and still have a better record than the Colts. The Broncos are in second place. Sorry you can't accept that. Quote:Hilarious .... in other words, we're starting the QB that is less worse than the other QBIt is what it is. I would imagine they're confident he'll take them right to the top pick in the draft in May. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
