Henne has not nor is he ever likely to be anything except a 'servicable' backup quarterback. Bortles won't learn any cool 'trick' plays or stunts from Henne; but, Henne is a veteran quarterback and has been around the game long enough to be 'savvy' to things that a young quarterback may not, and in that sense, Bortles could benefit from Hennes experience.

 

As far as the playing is concerned though, Henne won't lead us to a winning season if Bortles goes down. He is a servicable backup quarterback, but that's about all. He is worth the average pay of a backup quarterback. If he were to get a better offer, then I think we should let him walk; but as long as what he's getting paid is comenserate with his demonstrated playing ability, then I see no point in not keeping him.... unless there is someone out there who's available that is a guaranteed upgrade for us at the position.

 

Tim Tebow? Don't laugh; Tebow may not have the greatest arm, but he can scramble and run better than Henne. If he were availble for the right price, he would be an upgrade. The down side (?) is that he may also be an unwanted distraction. Does his upside out weigh his downside? Would he even want to come to J'ville as a backup?
