Quote:I didn't say it was unique, I just asked if maybe you were looking at everything backward and it's possible that with pressure on the other team to play hard for 4 quarters Henne goes in the other direction.

 

Personally I think it's quite possible, especially if Gerhart does well. I can't see Fisch wanting to stop giving the ball to him if he's running it better than Henne is throwing it.

 

I think you're probably right.

 

If the Jaguars don't improve as a team Henne won't perform better, that's for sure.

 

If the Jaguars do play better then it's likely that Henne actually performs worse from a statistical standpoint because he won't be facing coverages where the defense's only concern is tackling guys after they catch a pass for massive stretches at the ends of games for easy yards. Plus if the Jaguars are doing well it'll probably be because the running game is better and that will once again reduce Henne's opportunities to pass as the games get shortened and the gameplan moves to actually giving the ball to someone that will do something good with it.
