For years I have been critical of Henne.  I went out to camp again today (before they kicked fans out for lightning in the area). Henne is who he always has been.  Maybe worse. 

About 1 in 5 passes, he makes a solid throw in a tight window. Most of the time, however, he seems to get skittish when his first option is not there and scrambles around the backfield before he simply throws a two yard pass to his check down or tucks it and runs. I swear on Monday, I saw him tuck and run at least five plays. Does Chad Henne scare anyone with his blazing speed? No. He never has. And he has NEVER been able to put together a string of games any realistic fan would call "good".  If he has two decent games, the next will be a dud. 

I have seen him throw several intermediate range passes in camp which hit the receiver in stride, but are thrown to the WR's knees so he has to dive on the ground to catch it, effectively killing any YAC opportunity. 

The team did nothing to create more competition in the QB room this off-season. All politics aside, I still maintain Colin Kaepernick would be a better #2 option than Henne.  At least if HE tucks and runs, he can pick up first downs. Henne should not be on this team next year (he shouldn't be on this team this year). We could likely get a late round pick or a prospect for Henne in a trade this year. And there is not a significant gap between Henne and Allen. 

It is not newsflash that Henne is hot garbage. But the front office has been stubborn on this point. I know nothing is going to change. Just venting. If Blake gets hurt or pulled from any game due to performance, we cannot rely on our backup to be even average.
