Now, the Dolphins must decide if Henne should still be the quarterback in 2011. It’s a huge decision, given that the contracts of Ireland, Sparano and several people in the building are set to expire after the 2011 season. If they mess it up, a lot of people could be shown the door.
Henne now has 12 touchdowns and 15 interceptions this year for a 77.5 passer rating, 25th-best in the NFL. For his career, he has 24 touchdowns, 29 interceptions and a 76.2 rating. And Henne seems to be regressing. Over his last six games, he has five touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.
“There’s obviously some areas there where Chad needs to continue to improve, and he would tell you that,” Sparano said. “One of the areas is this turnover thing. … You just can’t overcome it in this league. The margin is just too hard to overcome those kind of turnovers.”
