I'd love to see Chase Daniel come in. I think he'd be a terrific backup and an ok-enough starter if we lost Blake for a couple of games.

 

That said, if we lose Blake for more than a game or two, we're screwed regardless. He's the centerpiece of this offense, with a rare blend of mobility and arm strength. Daniel lacks arm strength, but he can move in the pocket. Henne isn't much for rolling out, but he's got a gun. There aren't a lot of QBs with Bortles' skill set out there, and there's typically a term for those who do have it: starter.

 

We could do better than Henne, sure, and I suspect Dave will make some phone calls before deciding what to do with Henne's job. If all else is equal, though, including price tag, I think he'd be more inclined to stick with Henne, who knows the system inside out, rather than spending big for a guy who might offer a little more physically, but is far from a sure thing to become as comfortable with the offense and as good a sounding board for Bortles as Henne is.
