    I can't wait to see him in 2010. He played well in '09 and will only get better with another offseason under his belt. I'm pumped for the future of this team with Henne at the helm.

    Henne is just a big lug, hopefully there will be no Sophomore Slump as if anything, the schedule is a touch easier this year than last season.

    Henne, heck the entire Dolphins team, went through a meat grinder last season that should pay dividends this year.

    With a season of watching/learning and now a season of learning through playing under his belt i really feel as if henne is ready to be one of the better QBs in the league

    We desperately need to get him some receiving weapons though. When we talk WR, a lot of people weigh the position vs needs just based on the WR position alone.

    Its about more than that though, its about giving Henne tools to succeed. WR and TE will be big spots to fill this offseason.

    Well I don't know about you guys but I think he did great, given that he did not get most of the snaps in the off season and the receivers were not accustomed to his cannon. If he works on his timing and touch, I think he will be a hell of a lot better. Oh and on a side note Hartline is going to be a beast next year, watch and see.

    I was one who did not question the pick. I know some were like "Who the?" when he was drafted.

    I do not know that he will be a beast, but I think he will continue getting a good YPC avg. As tall as he is, I would like to see him put on a few more pounds, but I do not know if that will hinder his elusiveness.

    I think Henne played like a young first year starter for the most part last season. But, what I really liked about him was seeing him improve from week to week, and his short memory after making a bonehead decision/throw. I saw him maturing and becoming a better QB, as well as the leader this team so desperately needs at the QB position. Excluding Pennington, that's something this team has really lacked since Danny retired IMO.

    I agree that I expect him to be even better this upcoming season, assuming of course the FO does something to provide him with the weapons he needs to succeed. A healthy Ronnie Brown will help, a lot. But, something has to be done to improve the WR corps, and the TE position.

    Henne got some incredible experience in a lot of close games this year. He made the players around him better.

    Add in some new offensive players, and get ready to enjoy the show. I truely believe he's the real deal and its so refreshing to finally have a good qb at the helm since Dan who is also our long term solution.

    i really like chad henne too
    i think he is going to be uber special in this league for a long time to come
    only thing that worries me is that fake eye injury
    if that thing keeps coming back we have serious problems
    other than that he should be good as gold

    So much to be impressed about with Chad Henne. Amazing what he accomplished in his first year behind center. Gotta love the short memory and the ability to leave a team to 4th quarter comebacks.

    I was very happy with Henne last year, and it was not just about his ability to throw the ball.

    He showed great leadership, confidence, and learning ability. For a young QB, IMO, this is more important than stats.

    Just as important, when the season was over, he got all the film from every game to take home and study. This is done by few. Penny may have had something to do with it. No matter, he is doing it. He wants to be great.

    I believe Henne will be somewhere between 10 and 15 among QB's this season, which would be a very nice improvement. He has the tools, and is making the effort.

    all we need now is for him to stop making 4th quarter mistakes, and they should be all set..

    IMO Henne will progress like Aaron Rogers did. I think sitting for the first year helped him.

    Gonna be hard to make the pro bowl when Manning, Schaub, Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, and Rivers are playing in the AFC.

    My opinion is that he suffered a concussion. No I'm not a Doctor so this is just my opinion. He was hit pretty hard before halftime. He wasn't poked in the eye nor has he had a reported problem with his eyes. So if I was going to give it my best guess I would say he suffered a mild concussion. If we look back he didn't regain 'normal' vision for a week or two after the game. Here are some common symptoms of a concussion.


    • confusion or feeling dazed
    • clumsiness
    • slurred speech
    • nausea or vomiting
    • headache
    • balance problems or dizziness
    • blurred vision
    • sensitivity to light
    • sensitivity to noise
    • sluggishness
    • ringing in ears
    • behavior or personality changes
    • concentration difficulties
    • memory loss

    yeah sorry i'm not buying it for a second
    they gave henne the hook because there was no reason to get your QB of the future killed in a meaningless game. They saw that he took a few big shots before the half and got him the f out of there.
    Probably a very good idea.
    The eye injury nonsense was fabricated

    not unless they get the people on this team who play ball.....I like Henn-Dog too, and think he is the guy for years to come, but I damn sure hopes he cleans up the sloppy crap.....that being said, the kid is just coming off his first year of real pro ball....

    So let me get this straight. You find it easier to believe that they "faked" an injury to get Pat white playing time instead of simply sitting Henne in the second half? There is no reason in the world to fake an injury in that situation. :pity:

    Ashraf....Did u really put Flacco in that list? Henne played better than Flacco did his 1st season. Henne will be better than Flacco. IMHO Funny though both QBs need more weapons this off season.

    Yes, because until Henne proves he's better than Flacco, you have to include him on the list.

    I gotta agree, Flacco is a good strong armed QB. Loved him coming out of College and he hasn't done anything to diminish his value.

    Henne said in an interview a few days after the game that if was NOT a concussion. He was hit hard enough to cause blurry vision but it wasn't concussion related.

    Maybe it wasn't, as I said I'm not a doctor and even if I was I didn't examine him. But a hit to the head that caused blurry vision is at the very least, from what I know a mild form of a concussion. He also stated that after the initial contact he felt no ill effect it was only after a series or two that the effect started to settle in. At this point in time its all theoretical though lol =)

    So what do you guys think, Thigpen and White will back up or do you really think all 3 will compete for starting job???

    I am interested as I was impressed with Thigpen during that last game, the guy is very mobile and has a decent arm.

    yeah fair enough
    I never said anything about pat white
    merely stated that they didn't want to get CH killed in a meaningless football game
    It would be real interesting to know if Henne would have stayed in the game had it been different circumstances, say a win and your in kinda deal
    oh well we'll never know
    it all seemed a little fishy to me

    since we are talking about it I read somewhere Henne had some vision problems anyway
    anyone know if there is any truth to this?
