I see messages from some people on here saying he's going to put up really good numbers, have the best year of his career, etc.

 

We must have different definitions of "really good numbers" or what it would mean for him to have the best year of his career.  When I read that thread, the only people posting predictions are setting numbers that would make Henne probably a middle tier QB or even in the lower third.  Yeah, they're really talking about "really good numbers."

 

Reading comprehension is a lost art.

 

You seem to be interpreting that to mean he'll have Brady/Manning-like stats, but I haven't seen a single poster who has posted their predictions who was being unreasonable in their very mediocre expectations for Henne this year.  When they say he may have the best year of his career, is that something that's impossible to fathom considering his stats have been pretty average? 

 

I think some people are just determined to trash Henne any chance they can, and they're trying to twist reality into something that portrays people with modest expectations as being off the charts optimistic about what he can accomplish.  Most are basically taking his stats from last year in 13 games, using the average of those games and extrapolating that out over an additional 3 starts.  Yeah, that's just crazy to think he might actually have positive yardage in a game. 

 

Some of you are hellbent on trying to portray Henne as some historically bad QB, and he's not.  He's average on his best day, and if he can reach that level for this season, the expectations I've seen from those willing to actually post numbers are more than attainable.  It's as if some of you just need something to rip this team, or certain players over.
