Henne has consistently performed as a starters at the level we saw last season, ie mid 70s QB rating, both here and in Miami.


Whereas McCown has never really had a long stretch as a starter. He got 13 and 9 starts for the Cardinals in 2004 and 2005 respectively, and managed a 74 rating. But outside of that, he always tended to be a career backup, and has only had on really good year and that was last season.


So if I had to pick, I'd probably go Henne since he's familiar with our scheme. Plus, in an ideal world we draft a rookie, hopefully one of Bortles, Bridgewater and Manziel, and the rookie wins the job so Henne backs him up. Or at worst, Henne starts a season while the rookie slowly gets blooded in like Rodgers did in Green Bay.


I guess McCown could have done the same. But I'm not convinced he will perform at the same, or near to the same level again. Personally he will likely drop to a mid to late 70s type rating and performance.
