I'd point out it wasn't Henne that was the backup in those 2 1/2 games. The old "we can get another rookie castoff" doesn't play to me. Why do that when you already have a guy that knows the playbook? How long would it take for a new guy to absorb even half of it? Do you know who saved our 1969 season? It wasn't Jacky Lee, it was QB3.

To the Bell/Bushman controversy, yes, one of them will be on the "official 53" then placed on IR/designated. My argument for Bushman is he would be available a lot sooner than Bell. Put him on IR now and see how it goes with his surgery. He's an UFA in 2023.
