You still need Henne here for 2019. Mahomes is still (almost) 24 and new to the league. There are still things Henne might see Mahomes isn't familiar with. Things that Shurmer wouldn't recognize yet, either.

Then you let Henne go in the 2020 off-season, and go with Shurmur long term.

And it doesn't really matter how either one of them plays. If Mahomes goes down for more than a game or maybe two at the outside, the team is done. Henne at this point doesn't need to be on the field in the regular season, and Shurmur may not ever be capable of more than holding a clipboard on game day. And that's fine.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what they do. I'm a fan of the veteran backup situation.

I think Shurmur would get picked up based on name alone. Not just a coach's son, but an NFL coach's son. Super smart kid, went to Vanderbilt, tough kid from the SEC. Teams eat that shit up.

No. Gotta keep Henne. PS Shurmer, cut Litton.

Agree with this.

It is nice to be talking about this and not, you know, Matt McGloin.

Shurmer is ****ing TERRIBLE.

How are there people that don't see this?

All 3 backups are shit.

Cut them both. (at least) One of them will be sitting on the couch if they need to add a QB.

Roll with the young guys.

Henne needs to be packing his shit when he gets home and wait for his itinerary

I mean, if either of them see the field we’re ****ed anyway, so what difference does it make?

Pretty much this. I hear the opinion about a vet backing PMII and we might even win a couple games with him, but he's history after this year. I had high hopes for Litton, but clearly he's in the #4 spot right now. Maybe it's time to roll the dice to get a long term #2 with Shurmer. We've had worst starting QBs.

Matt Cassel is still available!!!!!!

No way they'd do it...but they ARE pretty deep at safety...I'd trade Henne for a 6th rounder and a pack of chewing gum though.

**** Henne, he makes WAY too much to suck that hard.

And here I thought you seemed nice...

I like Schurmur too but no interest in having him with virtually no experience as our primary backup in a season where we're expected to win the Super Bowl.

Henne is gone after this year. Throw Schurmur on the PS and hope he shows enough to earn the back-up job next season. Otherwise, sign another experienced journeyman and continue to try to develop a cheaper option.

Keep Litton. If Mahomes goes down send everyone on go routes and sling it.
