Very enjoyable read.
Did anyone else laugh at Henning’s pause indicated by the “…” here:
You can’t miss this if you’re Chad Henne. … Or if you’re John Beck."
I couldn’t help but chuckle…

That is fantastic.
More reasons to love Chad.

I hope he becomes a good QB. Mormons are good people.

Great teacher and mentor
to BOTH young QBs. And, maybe, just maybe, this team wil keep BOTH young QBs and let them BOTH develop under CP10. Why give up on someone before you know what they have? It’s like throwing away a lottery ticket just because you don’t want to weait to see what the numbers are.

Agreed.
I’m always quick to crack jokes about Beck, but I do really like the kid. He seems to say and do all the right things, here’s to hoping he succeeds, whether with us or in different colors.

Seconded
Beck has all of the tools and pre NFL history that Henne has in terms of ability, the only real difference is height (from what I’ve heard).
Therefore we should have two potential NFL quarterbacks beyond Chad the Elder and I’m hoping that the competition next camp will drive both of them forward.
I also think that Beck’s progress in camp this year was hampered by changing his throwing style so he was practicing that as well as learning the new system and trying to forget last years mistakes.
Lets give them both a chance, one bad season on a bad team does not a bad QB make….

Well said.
Although I think one other thing Henne has over Beck is an absolute cannon of an arm.
Beck seems to be the more studious, though. Either way, I think the competition is mutually beneficial, especially given the camaraderie Papa Chad has apparently instilled in the group.

Not true
According to people talking about the combine stats compared over the two years, Beck threw slightly further than Henne and they were comparable on most stats.
But again both were also in the top group of their respective years.
If Beck finally gets over his first year problems then it should be a good contest.
Oh yeah?
I most certainly was not aware of that. Hell, sounds good to me……

Actually...
I am encouraged to hear that Henne is so involved in the learning process coming into the 15th game of his first NFL season on the sidelines. He must be uber-aware of the Ryan/Flacco rookie QB media mania. To me it indicates that he, like so many on this team, are well prepared and ready to serve!

This are great news!!
Hopefully, both QB kids will be able to adapt and lead went call upon. I trust the development team on this young QB’s. We are good to go and next year we don’t have to worry on drafting a QB, just CB’s, OLB’s, NT, OL’s, DL’s and maybe a WR.

did any of you try to see the comments following that story?? its hilarious. it links you to last year the week miami got its only win and everyone commenting on Camoron & the suck team and NE Panzies fans talking shiit. its ok – i let them know that this year will be better and that the Panzies get to the SB but the Giants kick thier asssses.
Times they are a changing!
One year on and everything is changing…
Somebody at the website really made a mess of that.
I’d have thought that everything from the 2007/08 season would be wiped from records, just leave a gap with a note on it saying, skip this it gets better from now on..
Detroit it going to take care of that ; )

Has a Poll for MVP on the home page. CP10 is currently # 3 behind “None of these” and A. Petersen. Head over and vote, he deserves at least the recognition.

Great read
I think Penningtons mark on all young players is going to benefit us for years to come. I was also watching a video at miamidolphins.com in Sparanos “day after game” interview (12/15, you’ll have to open Aquavision and do some scrolling down to find it now) and Sparano said he actually thanked Pennington for all his hard work. I guess Pennington meets with his O-line, and the wide recievers in their own meetings as well. Just a fantastic team mate, we are really lucky to have him.

If Henne and Beck can just be sponges
and learn everything they can from Pennington, they’ll both be better for it. I honestly believe that with his tools and CP10’s teaching, Henne will be a good one.
As far as Beck, I was wrong about him before (saying he’d win the starting job this season) and I would LOVE to be wrong about him again (saying he stinks). Because, lets be honest, if he can turn it around and become a reliable backup or even starter caliber, our team will be better for it.

I can't wait for Pennington to be our QB coach in 5 years.

In one of this past week's press conferences Sparano said that he could envision Chad coaching with him on the sidelines one day.
I think that would be awesome. I grow more and more impressed with Pennington every time I hear him speak and break down plays. The guy is a football genius and I want him locked up with our franchise for a long time.

I think
anyone who looks at CP10 stats would see his value……but they would be missing the point….his value to this team is not in stats, but in leadership
GIGGITY GIGGITY GOOOOOOO!!

I might poke in
Nebraska women are playing in the Final Four Volleyball tourney, so I may be watching that, and after the game on ESPN 2 , they are showing the “Sea of Hands” game again. If you love old school football, you should watch it.

Beck and Henne
Are almost the exact same hight its Henne is like a 1/4 inch taller or something but he weighs more. Beck actually has a stronger arm even stronger than Jay Cutlers he has just been running scared and not using it.
