@FBT...why do you think Henne is "good for 20/15 and 3,500 yards" when he has never thrown for more TDs than INTs nor ever thrown for more than 3,300 yards in a season?

 

What he's done in the past is hardly relevant.  He'll be in year 2 of this offense, and hopefully he'll have more weapons to work with this season.  If the line play improves, and we get some production out of the running game, those numbers are very achievable.  He put up over 3,200 yards passing last year where he only started 13 games behind a patchwork offensive line, with a skeleton receiving corps, and little to no running game.  It isn't a stretch to think that with a few improvements on that side of the ball, he can increase his stats.  Putting up another 250 yards in 3 games isn't a stretch. 

 

I seriously think you guys are just so jaded you can't see that it wasn't ALL awful with Henne last year.  Yes, the mistakes were painful, but it's nothing we didn't see on a fairly regular basis from Gabbert, and Garrard before him. 

 

With a few fixes on the offensive line, I think Henne could bump up the TD numbers and keep the interception number below the TD figure.  Those are not gawdy stats I'm predicting, but if we can get that from him, we're looking at a 7 or 8 win season as long as the defense does their thing.
