OT: Henne Vs. Brady, Who do you root for?

I want Brady to win one more Super Bowl to make him the greatest ever. Then Henne can take over so that a Michigan QB can be on top at all times. Then Denard can come in and break the NFL QB mold.

I've got home and away Brady "M" jersey, his Pats jersey, and a Brady bobblehead. I would have said Brady even before the Lloyd Brady phenomenon, but that clinched it for me.

Seriously, for whatever reason, I've always been a huge Brady fan. I think it dates back to how he was screwed over by Lloyd Carr in 1999. I learned an important lesson from the '97 National Championship team. 5th year Sr. starting QBs are invaluable. So what does Lloyd do against state in '99? He gives Henson huge minutes in the first half. Henson was supremely gifted, no doubt, but he threw one costly INT and was 6-12 in the game. Brady was 30-41 in that game.  Plus, we were rolling under Brady going into that game. We fell behind sparty 27-10, and Brady rallied us back, only to fall short 34-31. Had Brady played the whole game, I figure we win that one and go on to win another national championship. Our other loss that year was the next week against Ill, clearly a hangover game.

If I ever met Lloyd and had the opportunity to ask him 1 question, it would be why did he play Henson in that '99 UM-msu game.

I just want to hear one announcer refer to Zolton as the Space Emperor of Space.

Henne because we graduated the same year and I played beer pong with him once.

So, Henne.

But losing (once) to Brady & the Pats isn't so bad.

Henne. But I do want Zoltan to kick the living hell out of the ball each time he punts.

I just root for lots of fantastic plays from the QBs. I think I'd rather see Henne win though. I'm young enough that I don't remember Brady's wins in great detail, so most of my fantastic memories of Michigan football come with Henne at the helm.

We've had some great passes by both of them so far.

 "I don't think either one of them could start at QB for Michigan now"

They showed different highlights from Henne and Brady's careers at Michigan and talked a bit about their time there. Gruden then went on to say something along the lines of "I dont think either of these guys could start there today with the way Denard Robinson is playing."

Denard mention during a Michigan QB segment on MNF with 6 min left in the 2nd.

 

EDIT:  I tipe slo.

Another pick on Henne.

Mike Trico, who I believe lives in AA, was talking about M and Gruden butted in and said neither of these guys (Henne/Brady) would start at M today.

They laughed and mentioned DROB.

He certainly is big time, he gets mentioned in a league he doesn't even play in on the game of the week. 

for 25 years now...I hate the Pats.

Brady is one of my favorite UM players but I'm starting Henne tonight in Fantasy Football and my opponent is starting Brady so Henne is my favorite UM player tonight.

For me it's easy...Brady! He's already in the conversation as one of the greatest QB's of all time. Add another Superbowl ring or two and he will have a legitimate claim on the title. Oh and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy...Oh and did I mention Giselle?

Both of these quarterbacks have such amazing butt chins.

 

 

Everyone's a winner.

Can't help it.  It's like rooting for the younger brother when the older one has already won a lot.  We want multiple Super Bowl winning Wolverine QBs.

I knew there would be a lot of Wolverines in the game but I didn't realize that Vince Woolfork is already in the NFL. Michigan Secondary Hating Gods!

Gotta go with all the posters saying offense. I have been a Pats fan for awhile now, but I don't really care that much about the NFL, so I just root for the Michigan guys to excel.

Brady.  I'm an old-timer, I guess, but my last memory of Henne is him not taking himself out against Ohio State in his last game, even though he was too hurt to compete. 

Also, if you value charisma to any extent, Brady has lots, Henne none.

I can tell you who I'm not rooting for: Bill Belichick's shirt. What the hell is that?

Dolphins need to STOP KICKING THE DAMN BALL!!!!

wow, special team trifecta.  NE is getting it done.

Whoever will have the better team, win a championship, and add to the greater glory of Michigan. Lately that's been Brady. This game might decide it (though it's looking to stay that way right now). Thought lean Brady through no fault of Henne, too. He lived downstairs from me, so I had met him, and rooted for him when everyone was calling for Henson. And I'm hoping another championship will solidify him so I stop getting hives anytime I think of someone catching a football on their helmet.
