Jason LaCanfora links Kolb to Miami or Seattle

at this rate of development, maybe in 10 years he'll be an adequate game manager.

im not sure what age has to do with it... there are qb's younger than him that are better, there are qb's older than him that are better, hell almost all the qb's in the nfl are better than him right now.

Got it, got it...you  don't like Henne. I was merely commenting on the silliness of considering a 25-year old QB's development as far-fetched as the lotto or Santa Claus.

[dolfan13]

going only by his performance in his 3 years as qb so far, why is this not so far fetched?

over the last 20 years, for every drew brees that turns it on to another level after 3-4 years of poor play, how many 25 yr old qb's play poorly for 3-4 years and actually end up being bad qb's? 50, 60, 70?

his play so far is beyond putrid. hoping and praying that he will turn into the next drew brees is just as silly at this point.

^^ I say give him another chance.  He regressed last year under the handcuff of suspect play calling and forced Wildcat ineffectiveness.  Confidence has a lot ot do with performance.

Just give the kid another shot...  He's got skills, he just needs to straighten out the lump of clay inside his helmet.

50, 60, 70?

So you have a 50-60-70% chance of winning the lottery? Or a 50-60-70% chance of Santa being real?

And...nobody is hoping and praying he will turn into the next Drew Brees, so the only silliness involved there is assuming that anyone thinks he will. What many of us ARE hoping for (homey doesn't pray) is that, under a new offensive coordinator, with improved offensive weapons, Henne can develop into a solid starter.

Surely even someone wearing the thickest lensed hater-goggles can see that as being within the realm of possibility.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go buy a lotto ticket and write my early Xmas list to Santa...

It would be one thing if there was a Drew Brees or a Kurt Warner on the market.  There isn't.  Any QB we can bring in at this point is either:

a) not appreciably better than Henne, but with less future upside (Hasselbeck, McNabb)
b) way too costly in a trade and a mediocre upgrade at that (Palmer, Kolb, Orton)

At this point, I'm actually happy (well, content) that Henne is staying as QB for another year.  2011 will be the referendum on the Ireland/Sparano/Henne triumvirate.  If Miami does not get a playoff win, those three need to be fired and we can pick up Cowher or Gruden or someone that can win.

My prediction is that no matter who they get, they won't beat out Henne on Day 1.  Henne is the day 1 starter.

This prediction is looking more and more accurate as time goes on.

The Fins are sooooooooo screwed next year!

I agree with that article.  YIKES!!!!!

[MikeO]

The Browns are gonna cut Jake Dellhome. He is terrible at this stage in his career, but signing a guy like him dirt cheap to backup Henne is such an Ireland/Sparano type of move I could totally see it happening.

[EDGECRUSHER]

Unfortunately, Henne is our best option. There are just no QB's out there that are arguably better, or wouldn't cost a high draft pick. This is Henne's last shot. He has a new OC and no expectations as NO ONE expects Miami to win more than 6 games, so it's now or never.

[mecadonzilla]

Thankfully, Henne and the Fins have been able to work hard together this offseason to improve their offensive performance and learn the new playbook.  OH YEAH, NEVER MIND.  I guess they haven't done squat of any real importance yet because of the lockout.  I suppose there's very little chance of a training camp to help things along.  I just don't see how Henne has any chance to succeed at all if and when the NFL commences the season.  Of course, no one else they bring in is going to be able to get much of a leg up on him because they will have even less familiarity and time with the system than he does.

Jake Dellhome played for Daboll in Cleveland. He knows the playbook!

[mecadonzilla]

At this point in their respective careers, I'd rather go with Henne than Delhomme...and that's saying something.  That being said, I don't have a problem with the Fins stockpiling QBs, though.
