It's finals week for me so obviously I was bored and had to find something else to do, rather than study.
I've read the forum before and noticed the split factions as far as Henne goes, so I decided to compare a large amount of the starting Quarterbacks in the NFL today first two years as a full time starter to our dear ol' Chad Henne.
First group is a group that obviously out performed what Henne has done thus far:
Tom Brady – Super Bowl, enough said? Oh and 46 tds to 26 ints, still looks like a girl
Peyton Manning – Almost 8,000 yards and 52 tds
Phillip Rivers – 43 tds to 24 ints pretty solid
Aaron Rodgers – Over 8000 yards and 58 tds to 20 ints
Ben Roethlisberger – 34 tds to 20 ints
Tony Romo – 55 tds to 32 ints, I hate qb ratings but over 95 both years has to be pretty good
Matt Schaub – 24 td to 19 ints, completion percentage around 66 both years in only 22 games
Jay Cutler – 8,000 yards, 45 tds to 32 ints
Matt Ryan – 6,000 plus yards, 38 tds to 25 ints
Joe Flacco – 6,500 yards, 35 tds to 24 ints
Josh Freeman – This year 17 td to 6 ints, total 5,000 yards in 22 starts
Sam Bradford – Special rookie year, 17 tds to 12 ints and 2,884 yards
Donovan McNabb – 6500 yards, 46 tds to 25 ints
David Garrard – 28 tds to 12 ints in 22 games
Carson Palmer – 6500 yards, 50 tds to 30 ints
Jake Delhomme – 7,000 yards, 58 tds to 31 ints
Matt Hasselbeck – 22 starts 5,000 yards, 22 tds to 18 ints, 2nd year in 10 starts had over 3000 yards and 15 tds to 10 ints
Michael Vick – running ability makes comparison impossible
This group is Quarterbacks with similar 1st 2 years as a full time starter
Derek Anderson*- 1st year as a starter was outrageous but then he forgot how to play
Mark Sanchez*- Same situation as Henne, who knows?
Ryan Fitzpatrick*- 1st 20 starts not great, 3rd year product of Gailey?
Drew Brees*- Awesome 3rd year, but very similar to Henne 1st 2 years
Eli Manning*- Didn’t become a franchise quarterback until that superbowl, still throws too many ints
Kyle Orton*- Similar 1st 2 years as a starter, stats now product of McDaniels
Matt Cassel*- 1st year was product of McDaniel, 2nd year was back to reality, but looks pretty good this year.
Jason Campbell*- Very similar to Henne, but mobility helps, 3rd year was stronger.
Jon Kitna*- 1st 2 years as a full time starter are scary similar to Henne.
Shaun Hill*- No real opportunity as a full time starter, numbers are fairly impressive through 24 starts
Byron Leftwich*- Actually had a better 2nd season than Henne thus far, Frightening. (I know he's not a starter, but I just wanted to check it out).
Just thought I would put that out there, there's definitely proof on both sides, a change of Offensive Coordinator seems to have helped alot of guys, but it seems like most of the elite guys are elite early in their careers.
And yes this was all so that I wouldn't be studying.

I hope this delayed studying isn't for science b/c your variables seem to be all over the place. :shifty:

Law I'm guessing.....? You seem astute and skewing information. :tongue2: -

When you cherry pick stats you'll never come to a true conclusion. With how you "compared" these QB's I could use your method and make Manning look like the worst QB to ever play an Henne the greatest.

He's turrrrrible...there, I saved you hours of future research. Don't drink the Koolaid cause he won this past week, once again his team won in spite of him.

hes not playing well... but when he does is when we spread things out and give him multiple options to find the mismatch...
you'd think our OC would then decide to play to his strengths... but of course not, instead we'll play to his weakness of play action, and throwing into double teams by running 2 man routes...
my only problem with deciding on the future of Henne is how horrible Henning is... maybe both need to go, or maybe Henne can succeed with someone who will not try to force his style/gameplans when it doesn't fit... Hennings only success with this team was wildcat based, once the wildcat stopped being effective so did he... just look at Pennington's numbers when the wildcat wasn't working, they're horrible...
i cant trust the judgement of Henne right now, though it doesn't look good... bring in a young guy if you can get one worth drafting, and bring in a new OC and let them compete, we'll find out if Henne has anything or not... -

Okay I get it this isn't a very thorough statistical analysis, but you're really just being devils advocate because I know you don't think that Henne has played at the level that Peyton Manning did. Essentially I've seen people pull stats out of the air and say we are making our decision too quickly on him or that he's the worst QB ever blah blah blah. So I looked at pretty much every quarterback that starts now and has played long enough or isn't from a different time period. I think what you can conclude from this is that, Fitzpatrick, Cassel, and Orton, all were at similar points after their second year and a change in coordinator actually has made them serviceable despite the fact that none of them have half the arm that Henne has. Also you can conclude that if we're waiting for Henne to turn into a top 5 QB it probably isn't going to happen.

What a stupid comment. How did the team win in spite of him? He didn't complete a lot of passes, but he didn't throw any picks, threw for a TD, and knew when to tuck it and run. All in windy, rainy conditions.
[mod] Not Appropriate. [/mod] -
Now, I am in no way saying that Henne will ever be close to Manning, (I had to throw that in there for the idiots that will jump on this and try to claim that I am comparing the two) but let's look at each's first 25 games.
Manning- 41TD's, 38 INT's, 4.3 TD%, 3.8 INT%, 57% comp rate, 79 QBR
Henne- 25TD's, 28INT's, 3.0 TD%, 3.4 INT%, 61% comp rate, 76 QBR
So, if you look at all of these stats you would see that Manning, in his 1st 25 games, threw 1 more TD per 100 passes and about the same number of picks (slightly higher). Henne had the better comp% though. -

Marine you and I are definitely on the same side as far as this goes, but
My biggest question would be what catastrophic event must occur for someone to become a Buffalo fan while living in Miami?

Oh man. Being a Bills fan has really messed you up.
You stated that the Dolphins won in spite of HENNE. Do you understand what "in spite of" means? Do you understand what you write or do you just make stuff up as you go along? All you've shown (and it was obvious to everyone) is that he didn't do much to break the game open. However, he didn't make any stupid throws or do anything else that caused the the rest of the team to dig themselves out of a hole. You tried to use the two fumbles, one where he was blind sided because our RT whiffed on his block and the other where only the coaches, Henne, and (I believe it was ) Ricky know who's fault it was. Was it a PA pass attempt and Ricky hit the ball? Was it a bad hand-off because Henne was short on his reach or was it because Ricky was long on his path?
And now you bring up Brady? Did you watch the Pats game? I'm sure you watched something other than the Bills play. HAHAHAHAH! Did you happen to see the pats running game? What about their defense scoring TD's? What about their WR's getting 20 yards of seperation from the DB's? I'm not sure what the pats have to do with this topic. (Other than you trying to change the subject because you can't defend an indefensible position)
Now if you wanted to say that Brady or E. Manning or Flacco...etc etc etc, played better than Henne I wouldn't have said a word.

Ahhh, the old I won the argument with out actually making an argument troll...MarinePhinFan likes this. -

Don't you find it funny that a new coach comes in and everything changes for Soliai, he went from playing like crap to dominating.
The coaching staff prior to Nolan couldn't see it, I wonder what a good OC might do for Henne never mind a good QB coach.uab_phin and MarinePhinFan like this. -

Please post Chad Henne's full game #'s here. Seriously, I think it's important that you post them yourself and realize just how heinous they are. -
I've officially seen it all now, tbh...a Dolphin fan making excuses for a Ryan Leaf-esque performance. This thread should be an instant classic.

Our ENTIRE OFFENSE was over matched yesterday, the OL, the RB, the WRs, all of them, the whole unit was dominated, it wasn't poor play by the QB. There were no big holes to run through, or wide open receivers in the secondary. Henne looked bad against zone looks as usual, Henne looked bad when plays broke down as usual, Henne played about the same as he has all year, just with different circumstances around him leading to different results. Comparing him to Ryan Leaf is absurd, I hope you're trolling and not trying to make a serious arguement. -
see the problem I have is comparing Henne to Sanchez. Why. Sanchez is not on this team. If Tom Brady played slightly better than Ray Lucas would anyone Defend Tom saying he played better than Lucas? Henne sucked. He's been sucking. he's played alright in stretches and bad in stretches. You can't have that. I'd rather have purty good consistently, then purty damn good inconsistently.
-
On a side note should we start cheering for a Chargers implosion, Norv Turner would not be a bad edition as an offensive coordinator. Any other suggestions? -
Giving Henne ANY credit for this victory is a slap in the face to a defense that picked up his mess all day. -

Chad Henne led Miami to victory with his inspired play. That's that. Stats don't mean anything. Henne is the QB of the future, rest easy Miami. If you don't agree with that then you obviously didn't watch the game.
-
I cant believe this is even an arguement . When a QB completes 5, count them, 5 passes for an entire game and the team still wins. THEY WON IN SPITE OF THE QB. All this Henne love for the sake of being a homer is getting rediculous.
