Chad Henne will never be any good until:

its amazing how one game means someone all of a sudden sucks... in the first Jets game he was amazing against the blitz... but this game he had a few sacks, and all of a sudden he doesn't know how to pick up a blitz... i guess he forgot how to do that in those 2 weeks between jets games?

Its a known fact that young QBs struggle with getting rid of the ball when they are supposed to. He also has time to develop the instinct to pick up the blitz. Its not a foregone conclusion he will never improve in that area. This is the first handful of starts in his NFL career and has performed pretty well to be honest.
Sure he's flawed...just like most QBs in the league and he's young to boot. Give him time.

i think our Backs are actually really good against the blitz, thats the first line of defense... But Henne needs to learn how to get out of that situation and call an audible, a hot route, get rid of the ball quickly...
has anyone else noticed that Henne never changes the play at the line, thats rare for a qb in this day and age...

No, when we send out one receiver and Play action on a 3rd and 12 against a 9 man blitz instead of calling a screen play or a slant, thats when he fails. Idiotic play calling in the 2nd half of the saints game and mainly the entire Jets game. Saints blitz all out also all the time.

It's extremely difficult to sweep any team...lard *** had his defense prepared, I'll give him that...henne made some mistakes...at least he didn't throw 5 int's

It's difficult for an inexperianced QB to take a sack instead of trying to do too much and throwing a pick. I would certainly would prefer sacks over interceptions, but that's just me.

U cry about the $$$, we do the dirtywork
This is about laughable....it's not just Henne that needs to read that blitz, the WHOLE offense does. Generally speaking, when a QB reads the blitz, he's going to go to a hot route...the designated reciever for the hot route needs to read it as well. Henne and the reciever need to see the same thing and be on the same page as far as what route the reciever will then run and Henne needs to trust that the guy will do just that.....it's only going to come with experience in the offense and with the recievers.
Another reason I am an advocate for getting a real TE.

All I will say is:
1.)3-1
2.)3-1
3.)3-1
Henne's record since being starter this season. The guy is basically a rookie. I measure how good he is by his record and poise. So far I think he is playing pretty awesome in general. Is he perfect? No. Watching him play tho gives me hope. For example he missed Hartline deep....give him some time and he will hit that throw. Right now, 3-1 looks good to me.
