I hope what doesn't get lost in this WHole Penny/Henne Change....

Yes I agree. I was thinking the same thing yesterday. Although Pats don't have the best defense and Henne struggled against them. Look Henne wasn't great this year, but he was decent. And for first full season against a lot of tough teams, decent is good enough to keep you in there when we don't have the TEAM to win a superbowl. We just don't. So you play the young guy and see how it plays out. If he never takes any steps, then maybe you move on after, but Damn, a little ****ing patience here

is the fact that Henne had to Play against these defenses in the first 8 games
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Ny Jets
Minnesota

ALL top 10 ranked defenses

and even Green bay (ranked 15th)

what are the next 8 games for Miami??

Tennessee
Chicago
Oakland
Cleveland
NY
Buffalo
Detroit
New England

so take out the 3 common games that they each played

so if Penningotn plays well against these defenses would that be a fair to say that he's Better than Henne??

To be honest, I quit talking about tough schedules. The schedule is "tough" every year for a variety of reasons. The best way to describe it is that there are no chumps in an NFL schedule. How else do you quantify the crap that we see every year?

not to worry:no: no more excuses
the proof simply resides in the winning
