------- Henne ranked #14 best backup QB

[Mile High Fin]

SI.com ranks all backup QBs, and Henne was #14.

Surprised he ranked that high as a ROOKIE.
That's pretty impressive IMO.
For comparison, Brian Brohm ranked dead last at #32 (also a rookie).

It's great to know people are high on the rookie...let's hope we don't have to use him.

Wow....look at all the former dolphins QBs.....

2. Brian Griese
3. Sage Rosenfels
7. Trent Green
16. Gus Frerotte
21. Cleo Lemon

Henne is obviously turning heads. Although he hasn't been given the role yet as backup.

wow.. former #1s Carr and Alex Smith get NO respect even as the understudies!

Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals.

I was a little surprised by this......I don't know why I just was.

Really? How many more times were the specifics of Smith's/Carr's falling ranking of backups posted on FH since last night?

But you're right, I can definitely confirm for you that Phelps grabbed 8 as well as the success of these guys:

just confirms what an absolute crapshoot drafting QB's at #1 more often than not really is. I may not totally agree with the Andy Benoit Fins review I posted yesterday, but do concur with his explanation why a savvy Parcells drafted Jake since he just didn't see a skills player worth anywhere near that high a selection.

he was dam good at the senior bowl. We had him ranked pretty high

 

[phinphever]

No offence, nice props for him but, he hasn't proven anything.

he must have proven something in the pre-season games he's played.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

This list is awful. They have Brian Brohm at 32, presumably because he is a rookie. But he is a rookie taken before Henne! Henne should be near the bottom of the list. Anything higher than 28 or so is homerism.

 

[fatkirstyalley]

Well since McCown will be the backup I guess thats good news.

 

[phinfan33]

well,somebody must see something in Henne to rank him that high as a backup.
