Quote:I'm talking about everything else looking good.  The offense and defense looked to be improved.

Again, what was our other option?  Either we started Bortles off the bat knowing full well that we need to fix his mechanics and that he'd struggle or plug in a vet that hopefully won't be asked to do much because of the team around him.  No one had any idea the whole team would come out flat and we'd be asking Henne to do nearly as much.

No solution here is perfect as we couldn't just sign Aaron Rodgers.  Good QBs usually don't hit waivers.

 

Like I said, having Henne going into 2014 wasn't what concerned me about Caldwell. It was his urgency regarding re-signing Henne around that concerned me.

 

Henne was/is eminently replaceable and of extremely low value.

 

The Jaguars could have brought just about any backup level free agent in to provide the level of performance, or something close enough to it to be virtually indistinguishable, that the team would get from someone of Henne's level.
