Quote:Y'know, I always thought of Kitna as slightly below average - the kind of guy that could win you games but couldn't get you to the playoffs.  Like David, but I didn't want to put that lightning rod out there.

 

Henne can't even reach Kitna status.  He averages 1 touchdown and 1 1/4 interceptions a game.  I really don't like to play beat-up-the-QB, but jeez there's gotta be better out there available cheaper.

There maybe someone slightly better, but there isn't some FA superstar waiting to be picked up.

 

What is the point of going after some ho hum guy who by the time they become acclimated to the personnel and the system well enough to consistently outperform Henne, we will be ready to move on from them too.

 

At least the other young players on the roster which we are trying to develop won't have to wait half a year in order to get on the same page as their QB.

 

Henne is a back up caliber QB and is solid in that role. If Henne were able to go out there and win more than 4 games with the jags depleted roster, then he would have been a good starting caliber QB.

 

People need to quit expecting Henne to be something that he isn't, a quality starting QB. They also need to quit thinking that these bench warmers that are available in free agency are something that he isn't either.
