I don't want Tannehill

[MikeO]

Mike,

So basically as you define things, Drew Bledsoe not Tom Brady was the Patriots QB the year they won their first superbowl?

If Chad Henne wins the Super Bowl I think its safe to say I was wrong 

I didn't think I needed to spell that out

[MikeO]

Fair enough.  I'm in.

Good. We agree! I will bookmark the thread and we will revisit this in like 6 months...lol

[MaineDolFan]

Glad we've turned this Miami Dolphins thread into a Jacksonville / Chad Henne thread. 

Let's get it back on track now that the wager is done.

[Brian Fein]

Wagers are fun! I'm also in for the poop bet. I still think Trent Green sucks.

<----------

But yes, I still didn't want Tannehill.

[MikeO]

HA! If he doesn't beat out Blaine Gabbart in camp then I think you need to come here and publicly admit you were wrong! lol lol

I will, gladly, as long as you reciprocate if he has a good season.  No excuses like "he played against crappy teams" or "Jones-Drew carried him all season"

Deal?

Yeah deal, but its a good season. Not a good game or two. Not a good month. A good SEASON. where he plays 14 or more games. The team is at .500 or better with him as a starter. He has more TD's than interceptions. QB rating and completion % is decent.

And if he doesn't start till mid or late-October because he loses the training camp battle to Gabbart then I already win right there.

Those are the terms I agree too.. 

I understand your terms as listed below

-must play in 13 games minimum
-must have more TD's than INT's
-must have more wins than losses as a starter
-QB rating or at least 70
-completion % greater than 55%

To be clear, if he gets blind-sided by a DE and tears an ACL, its hardly Chad's fault, so your "games played" requirement seems like an easy-out clause for you.  So I would recommend modifying it to be "must start more than half the games for his team," thus making him the primary Jaguars' starter for the season.  Or perhaps a minimum of 300 pass attempts for the year.  Just to qualify as "enough playing time."

Fair enough.  I'm in.

Calling in the VICTORY of this bet I had vs Brian from the offseason. Henne entered the game today with a TD lead and did nothing but play awful and let the Raiders come back and win.

Time for you Brian to admit defeat!

 ^^^^^^^
Checkdown Chad sucked ass today.  Three first downs total in the second half.

A lot of folks are eating their preseason words on Tannehill at this point... I'm just happy to see Miami with a real QB.

Careful, professor...stay in character.

I call it like I see it.  There's a reason why the Dolphins let him skeedaddle as a free agent.

[Brian Fein]

I will admit defeat, when I am defeated.  Yes he played like ass, but let the season play out.

I do admit, though, in hindsight I sounded like a crazy person back then.

You already lost though. He CAN'T start or play in 13 games. I win right there on that alone! 

That was one of the terms.

[Brian Fein]

Fair enough, but, I stated: "your 'games played' requirement seems like an easy-out clause for you"

But now that Gabbert is hurt, if Chad plays the rest of the season, I wanna see if he meets the rest of the requirements.  If Gabbert gets healthy and gets his job back immediately, then game over.

Sure, I will amend the bet. Keep it going. I feel really really confident! 

[Brian Fein]

I would too, if I were you.  I really REALLY thought highly of Chad Henne 6 months ago, it seems.

^^^ Maybe you can make it up with a double-or-nothing on Tyler Thigpen taking over for Fitzpatrick in Buffalo...
