Quote:Say what you want about Chad Henne's performance level.       That likely will end his stay with the Jaguars after this season,   barring a major turnaround.

 

However, from a leadership standpoint,    I give Chad Henne credit.   The practice field,   meeting rooms,  and locker room can be a depressing place in an 0-8 season.    Henne is putting himself on the firing range with his optimistic outlook.    That's leadership!    Even if the end results continue to be losses for the Jaguars,  if Henne helps get younger players on the team to raise their level of play because of accountability,   Henne will have helped the Jaguars moving forward beyond 2013.   

 

I'm with you on this one, Henne's no superstar but I wouldn't be shocked nor upset if he's retained as the backup to help mentor whatever young QB we bring in. Before anyone jumps in with the "why would you want Henne to mentor any QB" I'm talking more about how a professional QB has to represent himself and conduct himself at this level. Henne might not have the talent but he has the work ethic from everything I've ever read about the guy.
