Probably true, in that now, 100% of Michigan fans are pretty pleased that Tom Brady wore maize and blue instead of anything else, whereas when he played, there was a sizable Henson faction. Kind of like now that Lloyd Carr is retired everyone says nice things even though there was a fire-Carr faction before. I don't think criticizing a guy now prevents us from praising him in the future. Henson, remember, was one of those uber-mega-recruits who was going to win two Heismans a year. We forget it, because he ended up washing out of not one but two sports, but the guy had
talent. No matter who the current quarterback is, when that kind of player comes in, there will always be calls for the golden boy to start right away.
You guys are in for just such a situation. Mark my words, there will be a faction - who knows how big, but you will hear it - who wants to bench Boeckman and get Pryor in there. They might be out there and I haven't noticed. But I guarantee you'll take pride in Boeckman's NFL achievements too, whatever they are.
