Are you worried that Hene and Merling still have not signed?
I don't want any more drama, please sign guys we don't need any more distractions.

Yeah I'm am. I was hoping that both would be signed already, maybe today is the day...

I agree. Let's get it done and concentrate on playing football.

I think Henne is really shooting himself in the foot right now. Both Henne and Merling actually. But, if there was any chance, any chance whatsoever that Henne could start this year, I think it's gone now. Merling, on the other hand, has a great opportunity to get in the mix with Taylor gone. The longer he's out, but bigger the hill he has to climb.

I'm not worried yet. I bet they're both on the field before Monday.

i'm not as much worried as i am aggreivated. with all the talk our owner and fo has done the past couple yrs about getting guys in here that will be signed in time for camp it seems to be getting worse and worse. usually we have that one guy(normally the first rounder) who drags into tc late and now we have 2 2nd rounders holding out. and looks like it could be the same or worse next yr with having 2 more 2nds and possibly the first doing the same.
now thats not to say that i think they should give in to the first contract and give the players they may not deserve yet being unproven rookies but our gm(whoever it is)should have no excuse for why a second rounder much less 2 holding out still the day before tc. i am tired of hearing excuses from our rookies not doing so great their first yr because they missed x amount of time in training camp and struggled to play catch up. -

1. it clarifies the qb comp in that the later he comes in the less chance he has to start, which IMO benefits him the most as he is a rookie, the skill positions at Wr and TE arent settled, teh o-line is basically new again. I stated it it with Beck, it is not condicive to success for rookie qbs.
2. It allows us to see what Beck has while grooming Henne.
Henne wont be a long holdout if he does holdout. I am not concerned and similar to Quinn may end up benefiting him more by forcing him to sit and learn while the offense gels. -
Don't give a hoot about Henne, yet. Merling we need to get signed, NOW! :tantrum:

I think we need to keep the Henne pick in perspective. He wasn't drafted to start this year. He was drafted to provide a long term solution (and competition) to the QB position. -
Now, I was not expecting Henne to start this year anyway. I just think that the worst thing that could happen for him is to show up late to camp, obviously the later, the worse for him.
