Quote:FBT...I am not sure I have seen Henne look good...his best game as a Jag was the Texans game where Blackmon exploded two years ago...but IMO that was ALL Blackmon...he turned short throws into 60+ yard TDs...

 

I do agree that both have bad decision making at times...but at least you got positive TD to INT ratios most years with David and he could run when needed...Henne is more likely to give you more INTs/TOs than TDs on a yearly basis...and add in bone headed mistakes...which in my mind why he is behind David.

 

Of course arguing who is better Garrard or Henne is like seeing who the tallest midget is really...at the end of the day who cares the both come up short.

 

I'm sorry, but regardless of what Blackmon did, the stat remains the same.  We don't need Henne throwing the ball 60 yards in the air in order for him to be productive.  Nobody was complaining when Garrard would throw a 5 yard cross that broke for a 40+ yard TD, and I doubt they'd be disappointed if Henne did it either. 

 

Henne is a guy who is going to stand in the pocket and deliver the pass.  It may not always end well, but I would rather have a guy who is standing there trying to make a play vs. a guy who was notorious for self sacking himself by running out of bounds behind the line.

 

People want to romanticize Garrard for some reason, but the reality is, on a good day, he was a slightly better than average QB.  The same is true for Henne.  Neither is going to set the world on fire.  Neither would be part of the long term plan.  But, for now, he can get the job done for a team that has low expectations, so Henne is going to be the guy whether people like it or not.  Hopefully he rises to the challenge now that he's walking into a season knowing it's his job.
