Chad Henne. Ideal situation? No. But its a heck of alot better then Beck or McCown thats for sure. Peyton Manning started and played like shit his first season......Some QB's are mentally strong enough to handle a rough first outing.

He might've played like shit, but he had his moments in 1998.  One year later, his team sat atop the NFC East and got a first round bye in the playoffs.

If Chad Henne was one of those, he'd have been a first round pick.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but if Favre had stayed retired McCown would be our starting QB.

Holy Shit ESPN has the Jets ranked 16th overall and us at 30.   Shocked Huh

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking?season=2008&week=1

I can see us at the 30 mark but the Jets should be no higher then 25 IMO. The Brett Farve factor isn't that big a deal.

I'm not so sure. You may be right just for the sake of the future,  but McCown was really dogging it out there this summer.  Tongue  Henne has the most experience of all the rookies drafted playing wise. Parcells might have told him to man up and earn that signing bonus. He does NOT coddle players.

Who cares?  This isn't college football you don't go to a bowl game based on your ranking. 

Do you know what the Pats going 16-0 last season and being ranked #1 in his poll gets them?  Ziltch. 

Score at the beginning of the game is still 0-0.

I like the way you say 16-0 instead of 18-1.   Grin Wink

I just can't believe someone would have the balls to give a 4-12 Team 16th ranking becuase of a few Free agent pick ups.  Roll Eyes
