Henne is at least 25 pounds thicker and is much more cut up. Brennan looks like a freshman standing next to Henne. At the camp when they were tossing the ball around Henne's passes had plenty more zip than Brennan's and he was able to push the ball further down the field than Brennan without having to wind-up as much. Henne is a better pro prospect because he's got better size, a stronger arm (I'd say much stronger after having seen them in person without pads) and he's actually had experience in a pro-style offense against legitimate competition.

Sorry, but Henne just isn't a better QB...period. Don't care if you (as an obvious Michigan fan) saw them both at a camp or not. Don't care if Henne is indeed more than 15 pounds heavier than Brennan. Don't care if Henne happened to be throwing the ball harder that day. Camp performances mean jack [censored]. Game performance does. What's laughable is gauging arm strength by looking at them without pads. Hell, let just have nothing but body builders as pro QBs then.

That does not make him a legitimate pro prospect.

This part of your post is 100% proof positive is that you are totally clueless about Brennan. His mechanics are not even similar to Chang's. His release is quicker. His field vision is better. The only similarity is that they both played QB for Hawaii and both put up big numbers. Chang threw a ton of interceptions...Brennan has not. Chang was benched for [censored]ty performance...Brennan has not been. You argue about inflated stats, but his completion percentage and passing efficiency being so far above Henne's negates the inflated yardage and TDs.

As for your comment about Michigan's offense being more of a WCO offense than Hawaii's, well, let's say that your definition of a WCO differs significantly better from mine. The very definition of a WCO is that it emphasizes a short, horizontal passing attack to help stretch the defense out, which is precisely what Hawaii's offense does. Michigan relies far more on the running game. Michigan ran the ball 535 times in 13 games...that's 41 carries per game. Uh, new flash OSwhoople, WCO teams don't run the ball 41 times game either in college or in the pros. By the way, Hawaii ran the ball 298 times in 14 games (21 carries per game), which is more in line with the WCO philosophy.
