This is the way it should be. He still has a lot of holes in his game, such as pocket presence...which you could say is the most important skill for a QB.
Thigpen needs to be given a chance to compete, as does Pennington if in fact he is back next year.SargeZ33, 2socks, Silverphin and 3 others like this. -
However I dont think he showed me enough to say that if Thigpen comes in next season, impresses in minicamp and plays well in preseason that he shouldnt be given a chance.
I'm high on Thigpen though, have been even when he was a Cheif.miamiron, Bpk and dolfan7171 like this. -
Should be a great TC and PreSeason, sometimes I think I'm the only one who thought Henne's "depth perception" was Sparano benching him for throwing a dummy Int along the sidelines against Pittsburgh.
I like Thiggy's mobility and his arm is better than I thought it would be, and White has to know he had better show more than he has or he will be inactive on game days.
Competition is the great driver of improvement.gafinfan and dolfan7171 like this. -
What bothers me about Henne aside from pocket presence, is that I feel like he "checks up" instead of checking down at times. What I mean is that he will look for the short man, look intermediate, and then look short again. The only times I remember him throwing deep were when it was his first read, and even then he tried to force a few and didnt make other progressions.
Looking down the field and pocket presence. If he can get those two things going he'll be here the next 10+ years.Bpk and dolfan7171 like this. -
Chad Henne's game just needs work, he needs more touch on his screen passes, needs to build rapport with the Wr.
Put it this way, against Pitt, DBess had what, a 45yd TD reception directly outside the hashmarks?
Henne could only use Bess on intermediate and short throws, every Dolphins fan was surprised to see "slow but sure" DBess blow by the steelers corner and score a TD like that one.dolfan7171 likes this. -

His pocket presence is way beyond his years. He stands stoically in the pocket even when it's collapsing like a black hole around him. Now his pocket awareness could use a little work, but that could be because a plethora of things.
The guy stands tall in the pocket. He is very cool in that sense. That's one of the things about him that impresses me so much. He's as cool as the other side of the pillow when he's in the thick of it.Frumundah Finnatic, jetssuck, djphinfan and 6 others like this. -
I don't buy it.
Henne's their guy and they know it.
Sparano's just trying to help keep Henne motivated for the offseason.jetssuck, djphinfan, FinFan_Est.1984 and 2 others like this. -

I've said it a few times, but he reminds me of Byron Leftwich (when he was actually a good starter) with a bit more mobility, and a little less awareness. -
Henne showed enough to warrant being the favorite to start in 2010, but he did not show enough to make himself exempt from competition in training camp.NaboCane, Stringer Bell, Bpk and 1 other person like this. -
I dont know. From recent years in the NFL, competition at the QB position hasnt turned out particularly well for most teams. It actually creates problem. I think knowing your starting QB going into the offseason allows for that particular player and staff prepare for the season for a longer time. It also provides confidence to the player and allows him to focus solely on preparing for the season and not a competition.
To me, unless there is an injury, there is no reason why Chad Henne should not be our starting QB next season. He has done enough to prove he is more than capable.dukane5 and dolfan7171 like this. -
Giving Tyler Thigpen, Pat White, and perhaps another rookie QB a legitimate chance to show what they can do is not a QB controversy.Bpk and dolfan7171 like this. -
Does anyone really believe that Henne won't be the starter next year? It would take an absolutely colossal collapse on his part to lose the job during the offseason and preseason.

Were would a #4 Qb fit? -
I would be very surprised if we don't have a fourth QB in training camp. Whether or not we carry a fourth QB on the opening day roster is another story entirely (and I don't think we will.) But I think we grab a QB in the 6th or 7th, give him a look-see in training camp, and maybe sign him to the practice squad. Alternatively, we sign someone else's QB washout to the practice squad. -
Bingo!

Is it bad that not even your head coach back you as the starter? I mean who is it other than Henne?

Sometimes, though, it's beautiful to see him undisturbed with all of the chaos around him. He definitely needs to polish up his overall awareness of the defensive pressure. I did notice that, later in the season, he did get a little better (at times) of feeling that pressure. I also noticed (at times) that he was getting better at, either, throwing away the ball or taking the sack.
I think we'll see a much improved Henne, especially with the nuances of playing QB, next year. He may still not put up jaw-dropping numbers, but I'm confident his overall body of work should be better. -

Henne has all the tools, he played very well for a 1st year starter on a team with a ton of injuries and mediocre WR talent. Look at a guy like Sanchez, he's played like crap for a lot of the season but his defense and running game have made him look good. Henne has actually had to put points on the board and did a good job of it.
I honestly think its a joke to think he won't be starting next year, he proved enough this year to get another shot at leading this team for another year. He would have to show up at camp 20lbs overweight and play like crap all of training camp and in every preseason game for the coaching staff to not play him.
This was a rough year for him with our choke defense, Ronnie going down and injuries everywhere on the team, he played well. Does he need to improve? Yes, but he will only do that by getting playing experience.dolfan7171, FinFan_Est.1984 and Eop05 like this. -
Henne shouldn't be guaranteed the spot and IMO no other QB in the NFL should be guaranteed a starting spot either no matter who they are and yes i mean Tom Brady and Payton Manning everyone in the NFL should have to earn there spot every year

Wow, all I see is talk about Thigpen... LMAO!
Where'd all the infatuation with Pat White go?
About time people see him for what he was drafted for.
As for Henne not guaranteed to start.
Should he be?
I'm glad Coach stated it that way.
Henne has showed GREAT promise but he certainly isn't done growing and hasn't earned a guaranteed spot yet.
He should continue to be challenged.
That being said, if you think they aren't counting on him being the man then you're kidding yourselves. If he takes a step back so does our entire team.2socks likes this. -

Not every career ends like John Elway's. They usually end like Brett Favre's stint with the Packers: being cut or traded. -

As a Jets fan, I hope they don't start Henne. If I were a Dolphins fan, I'd want Henne all the way and I'd want Pennington off the roster.
