Jason LaCanfora links Kolb to Miami or Seattle

[masterfins]

I'm not too high on Kolb, I don't think he is much of an upgrade from Henne.  I'd like to see them pick up Palmer, perhaps with a change of scenery he may find a new begining.  Whoever Miami picks up Henne will be the starter unless someone totally outshines Henne in preseason.

^^ all three of those come from pass oriented teams..lets see what the new playbooks have drawn up for Henne before we make these assumptions

Now a new playbook will make Henne good? What does a playbook have to do with throwing the ball to the wrong team? Please explain? You can try and polish a turd anyway you want, its still a turd. I was a huge Henne supporter. Still like him as a solid #2 QB.....the guy isn't a starter in the NFL. You could give him Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin in their prime on the field with him with Emmitt Smith in his prime and the Cowboys o-line, the guy would still fail. You can draw up perfect plays, put him in perfect weather conditions, tell the fans not to boo him, put him in the most ideal situation ever.....he still can't play at a high level.

It can have a lot to do with it, which is what I was getting at earlier.  If the recievers are fucking up the routes which happens quite often and we never hear about it, it can lead to an interception.  You'll see it a lot with 3 and 5 step drops or other timing patters. 

Call a shitty formation over and over again like 5wr in the face of all out blitzes which has happened repeatedly under Dan Henning, you're probably going to be under duress the whole game and throw a couple picks.

Call plays against the wrong coverages and CB's will start jumping the routes.

Call plays in the wrong order and you end up struggling on offense as well.

Orton, Kolb, and even Hasselbeck could beat out Henne with one arm tied behind their backs

I'll believe it when I see it.

I'll believe it when I see it.

lol, keep believing in Henne. Keep believing.

Has anyone bookmarked this thread or should I?

please do! Please do!!

This is gonna be really funny when Henne is falling on his face next year

[StL FinFan]

I won't bother because even when we prove you wrong, you are unable to accept that you were wrong.  And no, I am not going to post a link.  Look it up yourself.

[BigDaddyFin]

excuses, excuses, excuses. Nothin but excuses!!

It's not an excuse.  How many times does shit like that happen in the NFL?  If you're not in the film room, you may think you know to borrow one from Jim Mora but you have no idea.

Your football knowledge sucks. No one here has anything close to the football knowledge of him.

Ok why is that?

[bsmooth]

Ok why is that?

Because none of us have the keen intellect and understanding to fully comprehend the NFL like MikeO. He constantly tells everyone that they have no football knowledge.

Well in this case it's not so much believing in Henne as not believing that free agency is the answer. Most teams draft a great QB, very few get one through free agency. It happens, but it's rare.

I read through Armando's article about the QB's out there that *might* be available and I'm unimpressed. Most are west coast types of QB's that don't really fit. Others are well passed their prime. 1 or 2 *might* be an upgrade, but will probably cost more than Miami would/should be willing to pay (They should not use a single draft pick unless it's 5th round or below).

I don't see it happening.

Here is the deal...

Whoever we have behind center this year should be pretty solid.  We added the burner receiver we needed, added the center upgrade we needed, Nate Garner will be back to upgrade our left guard spot, John Jerry will progress from his rookie year and we have a more dangerous running back.

How much better of a setup could there be for a non-elite QB?  They will rarely get touched, have plenty of receiving options and a run first mentality.  I can understand our deficiencies at the tight end postion and the issues that come with installing a new offense may be a drawback but that is about it. 

Even if Daboll is the equivalent of Henning, which I don't think he could be worse, we will still be much improved.  We easily should able to run the ball much better and we won't need to always max protect with our tightends due to our O-line improvements.  As is the case with all teams, we always have to worry about injuries but it isn't like we don't (or won't) have pretty solid depth.

We aren't getting Brady, Manning, Brees or Rivers this year no matter what.  But I think we can win an ass load of games and make a serious run with this roster if our coaches don't puss out on us!  Palmer, Kolb, and Hasselbech are fine upgrades if the cost isn't too great but even Henne or Thigpen could get the job done with this setup.
