Re: NFLe QBs Henson/Hamdan tearing it up
Henson's mechanics are awful, statistics notwithstanding. He seems to be addicted to throwing off his back foot. When you step in to the throw and deliver properly you are much more likely to get drilled which was one GOOD thing about Ramsey--he was tough. Henson's bad habits are the result of his basic softness. He's avoiding the hit.
Eli Manning suffers from the same affliction and in both cases they seem immune to coaching. Eli got worse as last season wore on. This is why I'm not nearly as worried about the Giants as others here seem to be. Eli's problems which were so manifest against the Panthers and against us the second time are not the kind that are necessarily overcome by experience. They are deeply rooted and it will take a great deal of effort for him to change. I'm not saying it WON'T happen but it's not an automatic.
