Blaine has a torn labrum non throwing shoulder I say sit him and tank for pick
As far as I've read, there's no official word on if it's torn or not yet I believe. I guess they're sending the MRI to Dr. James Andrews though so there's definitely something going on.
Problem with sitting him and tanking for a pick, it will probably mean Gene Smith will get fired. If that's the case a new GM will most likely want his own hand picked QB. You could then say, "ok draft a QB and let them battle it out, best man wins". But if the QB who wins the starting job struggles, then you got a QB controversy on your hands, because the back up QB is always the most popular person in town and that doesn't help anybody or the team. It's just stupid to give up on a freshly turned 23 year old QB (he turned 23 on October 15th I believe it was).
We need help in many other places then at QB and there isn't really any true franchise QBs coming out in this draft anyways. I'd rather them spend a top 5 pick on Jarvis Jones or Star Lotulelei or one of the Pass Rushers that are coming out.
edit: You're right, now that I just did some morning looking around it is being reported that it is indeed a torn labrum. Great, now all the idiots who wanted to see shitty Henne get their wish.
