Oh yea. Probably one of the worst QB classes in draft history.
Demarco took up 1 of those years, but yeah he was a slow starter
Yep. I kept saying keep Mett another year, even though he sucks and draft a qb the following year.. Some people took that as me being a Mett fan... nope, but I damn sure wasnt a fan of any of the qbs coming out that year.
If we’d have done that we’d likely have Goff or Wentz and maybe no Henry and Byard.
I stick by my very early in the thread assessment!
I was right for two years. Then Henry just decided to run like his size says he should.
I don’t even think his running was the main criticism of him, it’s that he could not pass block, at all.
It was almost always a dead give away we were going to run with him on the field.
He was pretty lost his rookie year overall. I remember a screen pass that was designed for him in the first game of the season. He just kind of wandered out of the backfield and had no idea where his landmark was.
His biggest problem was he kept going down as soon as he was touched. I think it was George who told him to keep pushing and kicking his feet through the line.
George told Henry his legs appeared "to go dead after contact" and he needed to keep them moving.

I was never really high on Fournette but I did want Cook. With two first round picks the following year, that still wouldn't of been a bad plan.
We got to enjoy Henry as much as possible, because it will be decades before we ever have such an exciting RB. It's going to dreadful when we have to go back to the conventional RB. We've been so spoiled having Henry.
Henry was a great pick...Dodd over some other choices...not so much
I mean, there were more than several people on here that thought Dion Lewis should have been the starter.
Henry was always a good player, but earlier in his career, he was Chris Johnson in Eddie George's body. Now he actually lowers his shoulders in between tackles and moves the chains.
Bryce Petty, the guy who said he got better in the off season from playing madden.
The true Titan MVP!
