NFLe QBs Henson/Hamdan tearing it up

[That Guy]

D.Henson - 17/28 for 187 yards (longest pass - 23yds), 2 TDs (1 int) 89.4 rating

G.Hamdan 15/22 for 244 yards (longest pass - 42yds), 3 TDs (0 ints)144.7 rating


Stats for the year thus far (5 weeks):

Player                 Att    Comp  % Comp  Yds    Avg    TD    % TD   Lg    Int  % Int  Sk/Lost Rating
G.Hamdan, Ams (SEA)    106    63    59.4    1,104  10.42  10    9.4    65t   3    2.8    5/29    114.7
D.Henson, Rhe (DAL)    114    68    59.6    773    6.78    6    5.3    49    2    1.8    5/28    90.3

7th round ex-skin (seahawk) and 3rd round ex-texan (cowboy). Henon i the 2nd best, but Hamdan is running away with it. He does have the leading WR on his team (way above the #2 in the league stat wise), but its hard to tell who's making the other look good.

Good point. Let me know when Hamden burns a secondary with one tenth the talent as ours.

[SkinEmAll]

um..., whats the point ?

In their defence, they dont have 1/10th the talent on offence that we have.

The league is a good building block for them. Defences run NFL style schemes and players get to compete while not being overwhelmed.

I watched Hamdan throw for 4 TDs and run for 1 last week. Say whatever you want, but you can catch alot of fish trolling.

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.

I believe his point was that there isn't much defense in that league.

I don't know - I would say that there are some solid Quarterbacks to come out of the European and Arena league. Kurt Warner comes to mind -

Obviously, we're not talking about the cream of the crop but it is nice to see a former Redskins finding some success, even if it is in a developmental league. Hopefully he will catch on somewhere.

Besides Kurt Warner (an example of lightning striking) who else has done it?

Hall and vinitieri aren't QB's but Delhomme is legit.

I think the moral of the story is that the chance of this guy ever completing a pass in a real game are miniscule.
