Sometimes "all in on every deal" comes back to bite you.

I just read a post stating that Henderson has only played about 20% of the defensive snaps. I know its early and he may yet develop into a good corner yet but looking at Arnold's play in Jacksonville, I can't help but think they made a mistake with the trade. Especially given how Darnold had already lost CM. Here are the two player's stats compared over the two games since the trade:

Henderson: 6 tackles - that's it.

Arnold: targeted 11 times, caught 7 (63% catch rate) for 94 yards. More importantly, 5 of those catches went for first downs. And for what it's worth, here are Anderson and Trembles' numbers during that same two game stretch: 34 targets, caught 14 ( 41% catch rate) for 128 yards with a total of 5 first downs. So basically Arnold is getting a 1st down almost half the time a pass is thrown his way while Anderson and Tremble get one every 10th pass. And if those numbers aren't bad enough, check out the article below:

Again, it's early and hopefully Henderson works out but right now, I would love to have Arnold back.

We always knew we were trading for an unknown commodity. We traded for upside, just like we did with Sam Darnold. 

That said, I still like the trade. We need to get Tremble reps. Thomas is looking good. We need to build this team for the years a head and Henderson helps with that.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
