I know a lot of you have been thinking the same thing, but are too scared/childish to confront the issue. We need to face the facts and move on at the QB position. Here are the reasons..... 10. Not good enough - He has been in the league for 2 years, and hasn't done jack. Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco proved why they were first round picks. Henne is proving why he almost made it to round 3. Henne has scored 12 touchdowns in his career so far, in 24 months as a pro. That's .5 TDs per month. Need I say more? 9. Not fast enough - sacked 26 times, and only has 32 rushing yards. In 2008, Tyler Thigpen was sacked 26 times, but ran for 386 yards. Who is faster? Thigpen. Not even close. Henne is a slow *****! 8. Not cocky enough - Henne is always looking for the right thing to say. Always all humble and ****. We need a quarterback with some balls. Not someone who acts like everything is fine, and then turns into a roided out anger spewing madman on the field. Which leads to reason #7. 7. He's always pissed off - I get it, you are in extreme focus. But you can knock it off, ok. Seriously, this guy looks like he's exacting revenge on the enemy with every throw. We need someone who doesn't need repressed anger issues to motivate him. 6. Not pretty enough - I don't think Henne has done even one photo shoot. Jason Taylor has done plenty of them, and it led to him being defensive player of the year, and the current NFL sack leader. Mark Sanchez wasted no time in becoming a pretty boy media sensation, and the Jets rode his good looks all the way to the AFC Championship game. Tom Brady won 3 titles with nothing but a dimple. Im just saying. Henne isn't pretty enough to win in the NFL. 5. 7 is an unlucky number - As most of you know, Ted Ginn wore #7 for Ohio State. We drafted him, and that luck cursed our franchise into being 1-15. So after paying the price for drafting someone who wears #7, what do we do? We draft another one, and he keeps that number. We are totally ****ed! 4. His arm is too strong - Henne tries to laser in tight passes, and thats cool. But he overthrows bombs, and thats not cool. Great QBs hit the bombs on the money. Chad Henne aims for the space station. 3. He's from Michigan - A Michigan QB playing in Florida, with 2 Ohio State wide receivers. Isn't that a conflict of interests? After all, Ohio State did whip his *** all 4 times they played. And Henne preceded his tenure in Miami by taking a dump on the Florida Gators in front of the entire nation. We need a home grown guy. Like Tim Tebow. 2. He's racist - Henne completed 114 passes to black WR/TEs. He completed 134 passes to non-black WR/TEs. I can't be certain, but this has to be the most anti-black completion ratio in the NFL. Maybe we can't prove he is racist, but the number speak for themselves. 1. Ted Ginn is a loser - Working with Ted Ginn as your #1 WR for 2 years has its consequences. All the lack of talent, effort, heart, and skill has rubbed off on Henne, whether he likes it or not. He will forever be scarred from having worked with Ginn. It's not his fault, but he will never be great because Ginn has damaged him beyond repair. So there's my reasons. I know it sucks that we have to essentially start over at the QB position again. But Thigpen can do good for us, I think. Maybe we trade for Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald, and we make it to the Super Bowl with Thigpen. Who knows? Im just sayin. Henne is not the guy. It's pretty obvious by now. Go Dolphins!!!!!
Ginn the #1 reason? Whatever dude. I can certainly understand why Henne must go but to bring up Ginn is such BS. Henne throws a hard ball to catch thats been documented, Braylon Edwards suffers from that to this day...he became used to Hennes passes and its costing him now. People who think Ginns drops had nothing to do with the type of spirrel Henne throws are just plain confused.
People say a QB can 'make' a WR. But I think a WR can 'break' a QB. Ginn has ruined Henne. When youre scared to throw at your #1 wr because you know he wont catch it, that screws up your head. As if being racist wasnt a big enough reason for him to avoid ginn.
Yea ok. People underestimate the Buckeye/Wolverine rivlary and Ginn tourched Michigan, dont think that doesnt come into play when Henne targets Ginn. He wants Ginn to fail. Ginn needs Thigpen to start then.....GET YOUR POPCORN READY
not so fast my friend. thigpen went to coastal carolina......coastal carolina plays Appalachian state......app state beat michigan.....that in turn made the big 10 look bad.....which in turn made osu look bad.....which in turn made osu hate small schools (ie: coastal carolina) so thigpen hates ginn too
he WAS our #1 wr until it became obvious that he was making henne suck even worse. i dont want to fuel the idea that henne is racist, because i dont have any solid proof yet. he didnt avoid all the black WRs. he just threw to guys like cam, hartline, fasano, and haynos much more.
Fire Henne, and keep Ginn? Wow. Have you been tipping the sauce again, Gish? Still a little drunk from last night maybe? Have a cup of coffee and sleep it off man. It'll be better when you wake up.
thats a stretch. michigan losing to app st makes osu look good because the buckeyes got to laugh at them one more time. last laugh = good. theory destroyed.
i meant henne, and his anger issues. please dont insult my opinion. soon you will see things my way. go sleep it off.
Damn. Once we cut Henne we need to get Troy Smith in South Florida. He puts the right amount of tourque on his throws to Ginn, plus he is familiar with Hartline.
I'm not insulting you buddy, I just thought you might have been into the suace a little, that's all. I honestly didn't know Henne had anger issues or was a racist, or even that bad of a QB. This is all news to me. Maybe I'm a little behind.
Yea I agree..we should shop him for a late rounder either way we need the cap space to retain Jason Allen.
Im sick of you guys bagging on Ginn.....he had a learning disabilitie as a child now he speaks with the elegance of a British Guru. Not to mention he had to comeback and get that 50+ yd TD vs the Jets..WHY? Because Henne was trying to screw him over.
I think Henne and the football might be racist. Henne doesn't throw to brothers as much (I'm going to assume Gish's research is correct). And the football apparently doesn't like being in a brother's hands (Ginn, Wilson). While we're at it, I think Dallas Clark and Jeremy Shockey are racists too. We've seen them keeping a brother (Wilson) down.
