After Reviewing Film and Statistics on Chad Henne...

[RobertHorry]

Henne should have an incredible passing completion percentage. He has had 127 completions on 218 attempted passes. That estimates out to 58-59%. However, he has had 15 dropped passes by his targets. Add in 15 completions to his statistics, you equate out to 127+15=142. You then proceed to divide 142/218 and it equates to 65%. Henne then has 5 throw aways, 4 of which he threw into the ground to screens, and the one against Carolina where he threw it out of bounds to save yardage while he was running towards the sideline. Add in 2 spiked passes and subtract the pass against New Orleans where Hartline was held by Roman Harper on the out and up and the bomb to Ginn in the San Diego game where it was essentially thrown away but not accounted for as that. You end up with 149/216. This equates out to 68.9-69%.

Thats 68-69% Completion percentage. Subtract the Ted Ginn-caused interception and the throw up at the end of the Saints game, Henne has 6 TDs and 2 interceptions. It could have actually equated out to 6 TDs and 1 interception if Pasqaloni didnt call an idiotic play-call on 3rd down against Tampa. However, I will hold Henne accountable for the ill-advised throw.

This is somewhat the "What if" situation laid out for the posters who have been wondering what Henne would be like if he had his passes caught, competent WR core, etc.

Good Job Horry.

It's not rocket science! If you apply that same mind set every qb looks better. Other teams drop balls and throw away passes. Henne is young guy and he's playing great in the confines of what he asked to do. The more he matures the better he'll get. The sky is the limit!

cool story

Henne's got the handcuffs on. They're keeping it pretty safe with him, making sure he doesn't lose games for us, so it's not surprising his completion percentage should/would be high if receivers caught the ball. The coaching staff is having him work on his decision-making and overall accuracy before they let him sling it around like we know he can.

But honestly, some of you guys are trying to paint Henne to be a lot more accurate than he'll turn out to be if they ever take the handcuffs off.

Henne has had 15 dropped passes on 218 passes. He has the 4th highest ratio for Pass Attempts to Dropped Passes in the NFL.

dropped passes are part of the game. every quarterback has his receivers drop balls. you can't just eliminate that aspect from the game and say he should of completed this pass or that pass. his quarterback rating is what it is. you can't change that.

Actually I can do that with the corps Henne has. Which is the utmost worst WR Core in the NFL.

That may be true but to get a better read on his abilities you should adjust the 15 drops down to the league average rather than just eliminating them.

That is a matter of opinion. It is a fact that his quarterback rating is 77.7. You can't say his rating should be this or that. I am sure I could find statistics that would hurt him also. It is just not reasonable to say it should be higher or lower. you do not know.

 

[dolphinator86]

good break down just say half of those passes are caught and he would be over 60% which i will take any day of the week. Like other guys have said they need to let him throw it dowfield more look at the play to Hartline in the Carolina game give him 5 or 6 plays like that and this O will seriously pick up.

 

[Ferretsquig]

It is an argument that can be made, but in order for it to mean anything you have to compile the same stats for all other QBs and compare. I imagine the drop rate for our receivers is higher than average....wouldn't be surprised if the Bears were worse.

The rating system they have now is pretty much useless so there's no harm in using another. It doesn't take into account the play of the OLine or receiver core and how that effects the QB. But as much as I love stats, I think you have to forget them when evaluating a young QB. So far we've seen a QB who can manage games when complemented by a strong running attack and on occasion can lead the team down the field through the air. I think we have to wait until next year to figure out whether hes capable of more.

 

[SRM]

It is what it is.

 

[MiZFiT]

Screw statistics.

Henne is 5-2 as a starter. That's all i care about.
