Quote:I really haven't followed Chad Henne's career, but I know he has a career losing record. Has he ever even made the playoffs?? I don't think he has, but like I said, I haven't really followed him.

 

I'd say the odds of him taking the Jags to the playoffs this year is very very slim. He just doesn't have that "IT" factor when it comes to winning games, even close ones. He just doesn't do anything above average.

 

The overall team will definately be better, how could it be any worse, but the Jags will only go as far as Henne will take them, unless, of course, the unknown at this time drafted QB comes in and beats Henne out for the starting job, which is something I believe everyone in here really wants to happen.

 

 

It's often said that the QB gets to much credit for wins and to much blame for losses.  The QB is the most important position on the team to be sure, but there are other factors at work.  Defending Henne I feel like I'm playing devil's advocate because he's not a franchise QB by any stretch but I have to laugh when people make him out like a Ryan Leaf or David Carr.  There are different levels of competence in the NFL and there are variations between  "awful" and "great".  I'd love to see a Marino or Manning or Brady level QB with the Jags but while we're re-building the team as whole, he'll do for the near term.
