Who do you want to be the starting QB for 2011?

Henne by default.

 

I choose one of the most unlikely in Carson Palmer but a cheap price (3rd or higher) for Orton would make me happy.

But lets make it clear that I would only want to aquire one of them and let it be a fair and square competition between the new guy and Henne!

May the best Qb win

 

Other: Drew Brees.

Oh, wait. You mean of the realistic options available to us because yet another regime has screwed the QB pooch. Crap. Uh. In that case, these are all terrible options, and we're better off hoping the defense can be as dominant as the 2000 Ravens and 2002 Bucs. At least then, Chad Henne will only need to post roughly a 90PR to get us to the Super Bowl.

… We're screwed.

 

Henne, I still think he can be a great QB in this league.

 

Henne is still my boy. Me and Todd been camping in his back yard and play some catch with the Chadster sometimes when he comes home from the player practices he's been running. Those lasers are hard on an old man's hands. I may need to go to wearing them new fangled gloves that receivers where nowadays. Sore hands are ok though, since I don't practice Onanism. The Henmeister said Todd has the look of a solid scat back too. Todd could juke a fella out of his underwear, so thankfully I never wear any.
Yup, I'm still sticking with Captain Chad of the 82nd Airborne till he proves himself unable.

 

Brady Quinn on the list. Seriously .......

 

Kyle Orton, pay the cost and acquire the best Qb on the market and call it "done".

Then Henne, he will have a leg up on the offense, is actually a decent qb, and heck, the little squid even grew his hair back!

Young simply because he is probably the best pure passer this offseason, like mobile qb's and KB's head would implode like a Dwarf Star finally going full on black hole.

 

If we acquire one of these guys, my choice would be Orton or Palmer.

Padre, you just mentioned that Orton is the best out there, but your pushing for Young???

LOL

 

Not really, Young is a viable option who more then likely will have the benefit of not costing a draft choice, he is sort of the "best" non Orton, non Draft pick costing option with a unique skill set, that and I also think there is much smoke about Young the person with not much fire, his play has been better then I thought it would be after watching the video, and think if he landed in Miami and lost out to Henne he offers WC options for us.

All I'd ask about the guy is watch the Video, or at least most of it, of his play in 2010 and decide for oneself.

I happen to think Orton is more plug and play/very few questions about how he will play if we traded for him.

 

Tony Sparano on this poll:

All jokes aside, it would be a total slap in the face to Henne if he lost the job after doing such a great job this offseason taking a leadership role with the team. He is the one putting in the work with the offense. It's hard to envision someone else coming in a having a better chance of winning without an established running game.

 

Biggest Poll Ever.

 

This is a business. If you don't deliver, you're gone. I'd deliver that slap to the face with my own hand. Chad Henne isn't some philanthropist out there giving his heart and soul for the sake of others. He's heading into his contract year, trying to save his own skin after three years in the league and not a lot to show for it. It's about time he took the bull by the horns a little more, but regardless he has to accept that it might be too late, that he may have already had his chance and he may have already tipped his hand as to what kind of quarterback he will (or will not) become. I'm not going to award the guy medals for finally fighting to save his career only as he's heading into a contract year. What happens, happens. If it's him that starts the season, hurray for him. If not, who cares.

 

Who do I want? I thought I wanted Palmer or Orton. However, I think Hasselbeck is the smartest and with Long at LT could be a great pick up. I just see so much Pennington in the guy. When I say that, I mean he could come in right away, have buy in from players, pick up the offense, and run with it.
Who do I believe will start? Chad Henne. As the lockout continues to move forward, he's hands down the safest bet for this team and the success of the 2011 season.

 

lol there are quite a bit of options aren't there

 

Brett Favre.

 

I'm in the Henne by default category. I'm still hoping to bring in a QB with franchise potential to groom, but on that list all I see are more expensive options with out much, if any, better upside and often much worse down side.

 

Just because there is pressure on Chad doesn't mean he is only stepping up is leadership because of his contract. He knows the expectations, and he is walking the walk right now. I don't see any other options out there who would give us a better chance to win right away. Maybe Kolb, Orton, Palmer, or Hasselbeck could be better options, but it would take some time to get them ready. Time is something we don't have a lot of. Pennington was able to step in and work well with our team in 2008, but we lost our first two games and had a much better offensive line and running game than we do now. Henne isn't to the point where he is a proven failure. There are still people who believe he can progress further ala Drew Brees. He's better than Mark Sanchez IMO, and Sanchez has a better offensive line, a better defense to bail him out, and a better running game. Henne isn't really that far from being considered pretty good. The change in offensive scheme and personnel alone could be enough to improve his numbers into the level tier of QBs in the NFL. I could see him having as good of a year as Matt Ryan this year.

 

Hmm, need to improve your stir the pot skills Hurricane.

Favre in Miami=SB!

 

How about Matt Ryan? Whoops.

Joe Flacco? Whoops again.

Blaine Gabbert/Ryan Mallett? No siree.

We really needed centers, guards and defensive ends. Can't be concerned with fluff positions like QB.

 

Young. Out of all potential QBs, I think he has the best skillset and the chance to be an elite QB.

I fully understand he has flaws, and do not know how likely it would be that realizes the potential, so I would go for a 1 year contract with an option for additional. Incentive laden, smaller guarantees and the ability to cut at any point without a large penalty. Keep him on a short leash and cut and run if he is proving ineffective or showing his mental instability. People like to say "no downside" a lot, but that is never true. Randy Moss was supposed to be no downside but that team absolutely tanked when he was brought in. Ireland and Sparano would need to have the guts to drop Vince if he was not showing improvement or showing mental instability.

Failing that, Henne is likely our best option. He will either sink or swim, and if he sinks we need to do everything possible to draft a top signal caller.

 

let me ask this question guys Why is everyone so high on orton he was labled the worst qb in the league two years ago in fact he made Beck look good I would rather have Damon Huard back then Orton. i say it would be good to cut thigpin and bring in two qbs and get the competition going.
here are my choices for qb

#1 Kevin Kolb i like this guy even though i dont know why

#2 Donnovan McNabb this poor guy got the shaft , first he had no weapons at either place he's been to

#3 Vince Young he is one hell of a athlete when his head is on straight.

 

In all seriousness, the QB next year should be Henne.

This isn't an endorsement. I don't think he's any good, but if this regime believes in him (for whatever reason) then they ought to sink or swim with him. If he proves them right, then great. If not, they should all be shown the door.

This regime made their bed, now it's time to sleep in it.

 

Why do you think they believe in him? Was it the benching?

 

Whoever wins games. I don't care if its Henne or John Doe at this point. Tired of this quarterback carousel every season.

 

They didn't draft a QB at all in the last draft.

We'll see what they do in free agency/trades, but based on everything Sparano has said, it seems like they like him to me.

 

The Force is strong with this one.

 

Same here, every..single..offseason...it is also the reason why I'm not in favor of a "bridge" type of Veteran, can we just fix this issue and be done with it?

That is why I like Orton more then most do, and if I had draft picks I'd be willing to pay them for his services.

I'd rather take a solid Starting Qb who is not physically limited then roll the dice in the Draft and wait the 3 yrs for a judgment on their play to be made, Draft Chats are fun and all that, but nail down the need by whatever means neccessary ala Ron Wolf.

 

I voted other, thinking we might get Matt Flynn. I am not interested in getting one of the OLD guys out there to guide our team. If we are going to TRY someone else, let it be a younger one. Orton would be OK if we brought in 2 new guys to compete with Henne. Although there is WAAAAAY to much baggage to put everything on him, VY is the only one out there that I believe would increase the number in the WIN column for us, right off the bat.

 

Quinn gives 110 out there all the time and he still sucks. The guy is just a twit.
Russell doesn't try but if he did care about football he might be halfway decent.
Sure they are both horrible options but Russell at least had the potential.... Brady Quinn is just an all around terrible QB.

 

Thing with Orton:

21 Td's 12 int's
20 Td's 9 int's 3,600 yds

Would you be fine with a Dolphins Qb producing those numbers?

I would, he can get better as well.

 

Not bad, but what you also have to do is dare to suggest trading a draft choice for a Qb, THAT combined with a marginal Qb will send people into a frenzy.

Titans have 10 days after the new season begins to trade VY, if they don't they will owe him 4.5 million, which they won't pay, so he will be waived and a FA AFAIK 5 or 6 yrs of service means no waiver claims?

BUT if a team claims him, they then owe him 4.5 million and a 8 million dollar salary which is why NFL media types think he will clear waivers and then become a FA.
