After what I've seen in the NFL this season, if you are relying on your back up for any length of time... your season might be done-zo.

Now a few teams have had guys in place and drafted mid round guys to sit behind them, and some of that has worked out OK when the backups come in.

Dalton/AJ Manning/Brock

but for the most part... back ups are back ups for a reason.

 

Henne would be no different than most other back up QBs.

Except he's well aware of this system. He has 0 threat to take the job or cause controversy.

Sure we could bring in a younger guy... or some back up that maybe shined somewhere else....

but if Bortles goes down are you going to feel any better with a Josh Johnson or TJ Yates behind center than Henne?

 

To the contrary actually...

at this point... Not sure there is anyone I'd rather be Bortles back up. Bortles doesn't need competition behind him. And we don't need some bumbling youngster who's on team 2 or 3 that hasn't used him yet...

IF this team ever establishes a solid run game/pass protection on a consistent basis... Henne could actually win us a couple games in the tragedy that Bortles should go down.

Not sure I'll want... I dunno, Tolzien? Keenum? Chase Daniel?
