This kid gets better every week, you can talk about the Buffalo game but i believe all 3 of his pics were tipped, he just has to learn to float some sometimes and not deliver his normal bullet.

There is something about Henne that when i watch, i feel confident every time he releases the ball, with Penny yes i felt okay simply because i knew the ball wasnt going more than 10 yards, but at the same time with Penny's touch passes and floaters there was always a chance of a receiver over running his passes or the passes having so much touch they were behind the receiver and the floaters and touch passes always gave a defender an extra second to react and make a break on the ball

The Arm- Not with with Henne, he has a cannon and it seems almost impossible for a defender to break on his laser strikes and most of the time they are right in stride and hit the receivers in the hands, on the 4th down play that the phins did not convert, even the announcers said it, it was simply because Henne put so much on the ball that it hit right off Bess hands, id much rather have a bullet to the hands than a floater up in the air or miss timed. The precision is there as well, the pass to hartline up the sideline as well as the back of the endzone PERFECTLY placed TD to hartline, just like in the Buffalo game where Henne knew where his receiver would be and exactly where to put the ball

Pocket Precense- Yes the offensive line has been a huge strong point for this team, but Henne has great pocket presence, yes occasionally he will hold it a second 2 long but he is just making his first starts and will learn, but he knows how to step up and stand tall with pressure all around him, announcers praise him for it all the time how he doesnt panic under the pressure and waits for people to get open, and even better this guy can throw on the run, those roll out plays are designed specifically for him, the biggest play of the game they intrusted in a roll out play to camarillo and he delivered same exact play i believe as the huge play in the Jets MNF win

The Smarts & Resolve- He does not make very many bone headed plays as you see young QB's do (Sanchize) He will take the sack and will not put it up in the air like you saw Brady do today and it cost him the game same with Sanchez. As i mentioned before the way he knew Hartline would go where he did agaisnt Buffalo and Henne placed it there before Hartline got there. He throws the ball out of bounds when needed, he did it several times today and most critically the play in the back of the endzone on 3rd down i beleive where i think Fasano was standing in the back and the announcers mentioned that even if Henne placed it perfectly Bodden would have intercepted it, and how smart of a play it was for Henne to trhrow it away. The resolve was shown in the Bucs game where he made a dumb throw for the INT, but he did not fold or panic he carefully drove the team down the field with some great throws to Bess for the game winning FG, same today where he missed Polite wide open, he came back and connected on a long 4th down that set up the game wining FG

I could go on forever about Henne, but atleast for now i do believe the Phins have finally found a legit replacement for good ol' #13:hi5:

heres the link for Henne's highlights vs the Patsies
 
ive always loved henne. did u here him on nfl network, someone asked him if his arm was tired, and he responded saying i can go have a catch with u now, i love this. and then he said how he thrives under pressure. he loves those situations.


damn it feels good to have a franchise qb
 
You guys have to stop getting so high with the highs and so low with the lows. You are going to driver yourselves crazy! Relax he is a young QB showing a tremendous upside and made some good plays today. He is young he has a lot of developing todo, just be objective about it. He played good today, now lets get ready for Jax!

As far as who is at fault for a interception? Every great QB will tell you if the ball leaves his hand and it ends up in the defense it is his fault. Any QB that doesn't tell you that, you don't want as your QB! FUN FACT for you Henne took the blame for all three against Buffalo. It showed today because he didn't make those mistakes today.

I agree, thats why i mentioned he has to learn to float the ball in certain situations or rather put more arc on it out of his hand so yes it is nice to know that they were tipped and he didnt directly throw a bad pic right to a defender, but as you said glad he took the blame because he knows he has to get the ball up higher and for he did that today with the exception of a pass that was batted down when he had i think hartline or camarillo (there basically the same player) wide open but he tried to dart it instead of arc it over the defender, either way this is great experience for the future:up:
 
Henne did well by bring us back and putting us in a position to win.. but missing wide open receivers is still an issue... he missed the tightend early on that should have been a touch down and on that final drive he missed i believe it was Polite down the sideline, he was lucky to have a second chance, a do-over that seldomly is given in the NFL.... i'm still not sold on him as our future, he has accuracy issues..

The first one was a product of him stopping stepping up in the pocket. He had a nice lane to move through, which would have opened everything up for him. He rushed the throw stopped stepping up and got hit as he released. Watch Rivers, when he starts moving forward he clears the rush and has all day to throw.

The other 2 he was staring down the right side of the field. This made it real easy for the defensive line men to time their jumps. The final pass was just bad! Thrown low and hard. He didn't do that today, his only interception today was a product of a bad play call. Although if you saw on the replay Ginn had a yard or 2 on Butler up on the top of screen with no safety help. However it appeared it was due to fail by play design.

With more experience he will learn when he needs the frozen rope and when he needs touch. The batted ball thrown to Cam that would have been a TD need to be floated to the pylon, the one to Hartline out of bounds needed more touch too. If you throw that high, hot and behind like that the momentum carries the WR out of bounds.

All and all job well done today he took a couple steps forward. Lets just hope he doesn't take a few steps back!
 
Mcnabb had major accuracy issues much worse than Henne's. How did that turn out for the eagles. You can't teach smarts and you can't teach a strong arm but you can teach accuracy.
