Maybe, but does anyone honestly think they would trade all the way up to the #20 pick in the first round just to grab him?

That is what I meant by blowing my mind. He is a solid QB...he just doesn't seem like a guy that jumps off the page to a GM screaming...trade up to get me before I'm off the board.

Troy Smith was a 5th rounder, when you compare him to Henne, the only thing he has on TS is height.

Mobility-Smith
Arm Strength-probably even
Leadership/Intangibles-Smith
Goofy Haircut-Henne
Height-Henne

Two things that you didn't mention were experience in the NFL and support from the veterans on the team. Smith has both of those as well.

What doesn't make sense is that Troy did great in his starts.

But the Ratbirds are so eager to draft fucking Chad Henne? Joe freaking 1-AA Flacco?

It doesn't make sense! Winning is a trait, along with height, arm strength, mobility etc.

I would be very surprised to see the Ravens take a quarterback - they have a solid backup in Boller and a budding star in Troy. Like I said, the playing time he was given, he did as well as anyone could expect of him. It wasn't like they gave him 5 starts, they went 0-5, and now are questioning the pick.

I agree with you but they are definitely set on taking a QB.

I went to a game in 2004 against Michigan in the Horseshoe. We were supposed to get stomped, but our QB who nobody even knew came out and kicked the shit out of them.

What was that guy's name? We should make a thread about him.
