Milton/McNamara shades of Henson/Brady?

No

The big difference is Henson could play

Let's be clear: Henson never started over Brady.  For part of the 1999 season, he played the 2nd quarter after Brady played the 1st, and the better performer got the second half.   Both guys got to see the field.  The main issue was that it went on for too long, after it seemed clear that Brady was better.

Here, it looks like the best QB on the team simply didn't get a shot.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Good stuff, good stuff. 

Either McNamara is the worst practice QB in the history of football, or Harbaugh can’t evaluate QB talent worth shit. 
 

I’ll let you draw your own conclusions on which is the more likely scenario. 

I don’t recall that team being 2-3 and losing to Indiana.

Hopefully like that team, this team beats OSU.

Literally said the same thing to the wife during the game. Seems like the coaches wanted Milton to play more for some reason even though it’s clear on the field that Cade is a baller.

Donny, you’re out of your element!

Henson was as blue chip as they come. Way more hype than Milton. Cade wears #12 now and Brady wears #12 in the NFL. I guess that's a shade.

No - Milton is not close to Henson. No idea what they are seeing in practice to play Milton over McNamara. 

Henson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Milton

Henson was a very good college QB given his experience. The NFL gave him a chance after not playing for a couple years.

This here is BS favoritism, Cade better get first team reps.

Nope

HUH?

Not at all

Might as well just ask this here - in what universe are Milton and McNamara in any way even playing the same position? One is accurate, decisive and goes through reads and one doesn’t seem to have a clue. Damning indictment on this coaching staff. 

No.

Brady should have been the starter his whole senior season. Lloyd was too afraid Henson would jump ship so kept playing him. Cost us one, maybe two games.

you got about half right. Drew Henson was an incredible athlete.

Keep in mind if Henson had stuck with football instead of Steinbrenner, he would have been a first round pick, possibly a very early first rounder.

I hate this site

Henson was really good, not Brady level good, but don’t ever compare him to third year Milton.  By his third year, Henson was beating Ohio State.

yep, the only difference is we don't have Lloyd Carr to mess it up. .  

People are using words like cerebral, competitor, moxie, "it" factor to talk about Cade. I find this a bit annoying.

He's so much better than Milton because he's way more accurate, has a quicker release, has way better timing, makes better decisions, can change his arm slot/release points when hands are in his face, better footwork, etc, etc.

In short, he's getting it done because he's a way more SKILLED QB. Competitiveness or anything cerebral is like 1% of it.

Also, he doesn't have Milton's arm cannon but he has enough arm strength. He can be a Drew Brees type player (stylistically--not saying he'll be a HOFer).

So let’s set the record straight on this. Brady was good. But he started the 98 season with absolute debacles vs Syracuse and ND. He lost vs OSU (Warm day 70 degrees I was there) Henson had some Milton qualities where he would make an amazing throw followed by a bad throw. But he was a freshman. Lloyd was torn and played both of them. For all the stuff Lloyd did, that wasn’t a bad strategy. I liked Henson, but until his junior year, he was just so inconsistent. Brady was the steadier hand and it made sense to play him, McNamara’s production is so far ahead of Milton, it’s no contest. Got to go with McNamara, 

More like Nick Sheridan vs. Steven Threet

ehh.. only in the sense that there now appears to be some QB controversy. The actual dynamic between the two situations are almost polar opposite 

Henson/Brady: experienced game managing quarterback (Brady) shares snaps with all-American Freshman (Henson) quarterback due to potential

Milton/McNamara: older player loses snaps / starting job to younger player who runs the offense more efficiently
