| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search Quote:
The funny thing about Jason Campbell is that he's getting to that point of his career where he's nicked and bruised week to week and isn't the athlete he once was, and he's reaching that point simultaneously with maturation in the pocket in terms of ball security and getting the ball out in timing and rhythm. The funny thing is: this trade off will keep him as a middle of the pack QB overall, although the "film guys" like Cosell are sure to remark that he is an "improved" player, whatever that means. Henne has had the same down to down inconsistent shown by all young QBs, and as long as he keeps getting reps and keeps improving, I'm not sure we should hold his early career negative plays against him. After all, Campbell (who I believe was a really good fit for Zorn's offense) threw blind a number of times on tape during the 2009 season when he was fooled by the coverage. He hardly ever did that with Oakland.

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search And with regards to Henne, if you isolate his passing away from his running, you get a completely different story. Passing DYAR divided by games started for "successful" QB draft picks (2005-2011) 1. Aaron Rodgers 95.35 2. Matt Ryan 75.55 3. Joe Flacco 42.73 4. Chad Henne 41.03 5. Matthew Stafford 36.24 6. Jay Cutler 33.50 7. Jason Campbell 30.53 8. Kyle Orton 22.91 9. Josh Freeman 21.12 10. Ryan Fitzpatrick 8.87 He had the advantage of sitting his first season, so subjectively, you might want to switch him and Stafford, but he's still one of the best QBs (by passing) picked in the last seven drafts.

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search Newton was 38.69 by the same metric this year, for context, and he gets no value for his rushing contributions.

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search Hene/Orton would be a nice insurance policy wither we try and trade up for RG3 or try and trade down for Taneihill. It's not assured that either will be there, at the same time not handcuffing us to make a deal so we over pay.

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search I was surprised to read that RGIII isnt going to throw at the combine, he's only going to run. IMO that's not a good sign. |

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search Problem is everyone carved up NE last year. Look what Henne did in the remainder of his starts last year. Very underwhelming. |
