Quote:Henne's not as terrible as people make him out to be. He's not a guy that you'd want starting long-term, but I think that he'll surprise a few people if he's behind a competent OL with a credible running game to key off of. He's not a 30 TD, 10 INT Pro Bowl guy, nor will he ever be, but 20 TD against 14 INTs is something I could see him doing next year, and that might be enough to push for 8-8.

 

I think you're overestimating Henne's abilities.

 

He's never thrown more Touchdowns than interceptions in a season.  He's a semi-competent backup, but really nothing more.  He won't lead this team to 8-8, and if you honestly believe he can... I think you'll be in for disappointment this season.  If we get Blackmon back, he should put up better stats.  At least ones that won't make you want to crawl under the bed and wait for 2015.  But I don't see him getting us many wins. 

 

Best case scenario IMO is that we no longer need Henne's services by 2016.  As a backup or otherwise.
