The Bengals did play their starters, for three quarters. The Jets proceeded to shut them out. Then they pulled their starters. If you want to argue over the Colts game then fine but at least try and do some fucking research on your arguments. Carson Palmer started the game, stayed in for 3/4s and went 1 for 11. Try again.
I'm confused. You're saying that "Henne had considerably less talent to operate with" and now has "more talent around" him.. So the sole addition of one player, Brandon Marshall, changes the overall talent of the Dolphins Offense? Henne had considerably less talent, and adding 1 WR (while losing 1 in Ginn), now gives the team considerably more talent than last year? Either Henne already had some talent to work with, and then a major upgrade was added in Marshall, which will give Henne more talent to work with; or Henne had virtually no talent to begin with, and now, adding Marshall gives him some talent to work with -- either way, it sounds like you're spewing hot air.
^But he's the best WR in the Division!1! He's going to solve all of the offensive woes, like Ronnie Brown's exploding knee.
