Quote:People on this board have floated the idea 20 TDs and 3500 are realistic goals for Henne and he has never come close to either. He is a career bottom 25% QB. I don't expect him to finally become a solid QB in his third contract just because I want him to. 16 TDs would be a career best for him and that is just pedestrian. Swell guy. Maybe not third string, but he should be a backup based on ability.

 

He's never come close?  He started 13 games last year and had 3,241 yards and 13 touchdowns.  Hitting the 3,500 yard mark shouldn't be a huge issue with 3 additional starts, and with an improved line, running game, and better receiving talent, it wouldn't be a huge reach to think he could hit what is really a relatively modest target for touchdowns. 

 

I think you're doing your darndest to downplay Henne.  Not sure what the agenda here is.  Nobody thinks he's going to be a star in the league, but he can be a competent starter during this transition phase.
