Quote:The last time Henne was the starter this team was dealing with a roster that was nearly devoid of talent due to Clean Gene.  Current O-Line play and receiver talent are far better than when he played for us.

 

I think that we have already seen that there is not question that Del Rio is a far better coach than Bradley and it even looks like Mularkey may be a better coach than Bradley.  The problem with the team back then was a complete lack of talent overall.

 

I am not saying that Henne is our QB of the future.  He is a solid NFL backup but I think that right now a guy who is a solid backup QB by NFL standards is superior to what Bortles is bringing.  I also think the time off will help Bortles.

 

I think you make some good points.  Henne probably has never played with this much talent around him.  There's no doubt that our total YPG may go down with Henne in there but our turnovers would probably go down too and that's what's really killing the team right now.  It's no cure-all but sit Bortles until he can either get his mechanics and accuracy together or until we get a decent replacement.
