Chad Henne better than you think?

I know you're all sick of Henne, but I wanna see what he can do in a new offensive scheme...

  Need to see him suck more to come to the conclusion he can't play? Yet you will be the same one crying like a baby if we ever give Jamarcus Russell a contract. I mean lets see what Jamarcus can do in a new offensive scheme.....USING YOUR OWN LOGIC!!!!!!

Henne couldn't beat the Lions, Browns, and Bills at home with the season on the line and pretty much LOST those games all by himself. Yet you want to see more....unreal

...I mean lets see what Jamarcus can do in a new offensive scheme...

In the NFL, a brain is required for pretty much any offensive scheme... If Jamarcus gets another shot at this level, I'm convinced that he will fail for the same reasons he failed in Oakland. If I'm wrong, I'll take fork to some crow souffle, but I just don't see Jamarcus actually getting smarter any time soon.

^^missed the point being made. Nobody was defending giving Jamarcus a chance. Was making an analogy

Got your point (as always). You missed mine (as always), which was that a new system can't possibly help a QB with no brain. Henne doesn't have that issue, therefore the comparison you made isn't very valid.

Let me break it down in simpler terms...

Henne = has potential for improved performance in a new offensive system.
Russell = has no potential for improved performance in a new offensive system.

In short, yes.
We all agreed that the offensive game plan and coaching was suspect last season.  Its a variable that has an effect on other variables, like QB play.  Its your OPINION that he "blew three games on his own" when in fact no one knows what went wrong in those games, and surely multiple people played a part in the loss (hello, Carpenter missed 4 FG's in the Buffalo game).

So, yes, if we give him a new scheme and new coaches, and he still sucks, I will be convinced that he is a terrible QB.  Until then, its pure speculation.

I see it the other way around myself. We have the proof that he sucks. Him turning into a quality QB with a new scheme and new coaches is pure speculation........

A very very poor analogy.
