Chad Henne better than you think?

[Sunstroke]

I got all your points the first time...did you get mine about exaggerating to support your point?

Or will we have more of these pleasant little interludes?

[bsmooth]

Whatever, you are missing the forest from the trees. Henne threw 6 INT's from Thanksgiving on last season when the spotlight was on him to produce and had 2 lost fumbles (and Henne hardly played the final game of the year vs NE ). Young has that same amount on INT's in his last 21 games. GET IT? GOT IT? That's the point!!! Henne's numbers are far worse than Young's.  You can spin the numbers anyway you want, bottom line.... Young > Henne (right now, in the past, and probably going forward)

Henne in his short career is a turnover machine. In those post-Thanksgiving games last year he had 6 INT's and 2 lost fumbles. 8 Turnovers in 5 games (not counting the final game in which he was hardly on the field!!) Average that out Rainman!!   Vince Young ISN'T a turnover machine, Henne is!The numbers back it up!

It is also safe to say the Titans had a better running game than we did to take some of the pressure off the QB to produce.

You never made a point in your rambling and if you did I didn't read it.  I read up until you took a pot shot at me, at that point I stopped reading what you wrote and skipped over the rest and only responded to the part I read. Which was like the 1st sentence. I didn't read the rest of what you said with the namecalling/attack/pot shot and all. Sorry!!  Grow up and learn to have a civil discussion and maybe I will address MORE of your points. Otherwise I am just skipping over it as its like a broken record at thsi point

Aaron Rodgers had no running game, didn't stop him any. Lots of QB's have crap running games, NOT AN EXCUSE!!

Not to mention an offensive line.

Just to clarify. 

Mike you exaggerated and gave false blatantly false statistics.  Sunstroke pointing out that you exaggerated and gave blatantly false statistics is NOT namecalling/attack/pot shot.

And who made you the "poor man's lawyer" ... whatever,  I was making a general point which someone took way too seriously and took moments out of their life to actually begin  looking up "exact" numbers to bring out stats with decmial points to prove me "wrong" (so funny).  The point being, the amount of INT's Vince Young has thrown in his last 21 games (a stat I read in the newspaper last week), 6,  .....is about what Henne throws every 2 games or so. I was talking about turnovers in general, sorry I didn't run this by my newspaper editor and have him look it up before I hit POST. I was making the point Henne turns the ball over a lot and costs us games. Something any normal person would infer.  Point being, Henne throws a ton of INT's and fumbles alot and is a walking turnover. Young doesn't turn the ball over almost any.  Some of you are so begging to get in an internet/message board fight you take every sentence so literal and look to start something. Like I said, you can't see the forest from the trees! Like most arguments you miss the general point being made and zone in on some little piece of minutiae and will fight it to the bloody (I know how much some of you LOVE that word)  end for some unkown reason other than you have WAY too much time on your hands and your lack any real social or personal life.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

And who made you the "poor man's lawyer"

You made an implicit accusation against Sunstroke claiming he made a personal attack.  As a moderator of this board (although not this section) I thought it would be in the best interest to all involved to point out that Sunstroke had in fact not violated the rules of the board and had not engaged in a personal attack.

So to answer your question --  Dave Gray.

Allow me to weigh in on Henne:

I believe he struck out last year.

3 games against three of the worst teams in the league at home in the last part of the season

3 poor performances, littered with int

3 losses, of which he played a major role

3 strikes and you're out. 

Then again, do we have anything better at this point?

Thigpen may not be better but he certainly isn't any worse. Many will disagree with me on this, I just don't want to see Henne anymore. I've had enough of him........

[MikeO]

Thigpen isn't under contract to the Fins so he isn't even an option anymore for them really.  Taking the lockout thing out of the picture, when football begins for the Fins this year...Henne and Thigpen won't be brought back as the 1-2 punch for this team. CHECK THAT, I forgot who is running our team, IF they are, then both Ireland and Sparano just wrote their ass outta Miami. You can't have them as your 1-2 at QB and expect to win more than 7 games or sell any tickets to games this upcoming year from a business standpoint and have a motivated fan base.

[Pappy13]

^^ Miami placed a 2nd round restricted free agent tender on Thigpen. Depending on how the CBA negotiations go, it's possible he could be back with the Fins next year. Unlikely, but not impossible.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

^^^ I doubt anyone would give a 2nd round for Thigpen so I would say likely if the new CBA mirrors the old. 

[MikeO]

I would rather have Pennington and his pop-gun arm back than Thigpen

[Brian Fein]

Henne provides bigger up-side than Thigpen.  Thigpen, playing on his best day, is marginally better than Henne playing poorly.  Henne on his best day makes Thigpen look like Akili Smith.

I know you're all sick of Henne, but I wanna see what he can do in a new offensive scheme...
