What kind of stats are we looking for to consider Henne a bust or a viable option at qb? If Henne has 7 starts and his stat line is 130/240 for 1,500yds 9tds and 11ints with a 1-7 record..... is that good enough or is it more than stats? I see many people are already saying he is a bust and discussing which qb to draft next year. What info are you looking at to know he is a bust?
How to tell if Henne is a bust.......

If he wins games, I don't care what his stats are!

Flacco had some UGLY stats last yr, but he won games.
If he has more turnovers than TD's, looks like a deer in headlights, and cant move the offense, he's a bust.. Basically, if he reminds us of John beck, hes a bust.. thats a good barometer of measurement

Yeah and look at him now. Winning is what I look for in a QB. When the game is on the line, can he make the big plays? That is what you need in a QB a la Big Ben.

I'm not looking for 300 yard passing days because that's not our offensive philosophy. I want him to do the little things right first...at least 2/1 TD/int ratio, 60% completion percentage, make the right audibles/protection calls, make solid reads. With any luck, Henne will start to hit more intermediate passes of the +15-25 yard variety and the running game will be even more effective.

I have to say, that stiff arm he threw to keep that play alive impressed me....he just needs to stay behind the LOS when he throws. I attribute a lot of it to being nervous/excited.
I was impressed by his condfidence throwing the ball down field. He needs to learn when he needs to take some heat off though. The key to a guy like Henne imo is to keep him protected. I thnk he can be quite good, but our recievers scare me. Pennington was able to deliver passes right to their hands. With most Qb's WR's have to make adjustments to the ball. That and the fact that the ball is coming at them a hell of a lot faster could take some time to get used to.

Big Ben also has great receivers around him. Ted Ginn would likely not even see the field for Pittsburgh, especially with how good Mike Wallace is as a rookie (and clutch, had like 7 catches for 100+yards yesterday--consistently gets behind DBs etc).
Whoever is at QB for Miami is at a disadvantage when you have the lack of talent on offense outside of Ronnie Brown.

I think your TD/INT% may be a little much to ask for. He's young and it going to make mistakes. But I believe he gives our offense a little more viability to overcome some mistakes as well.

If he starts fumbling snaps or having fumbles after absolutely no contact that would be a good sign that he is a bust. :d-day:
Or if he steps out of bounds on the one yard line instead of crossing the goal line because he is afraid of contact that would be another bad sign. :err:
If he starts addressing reporters as 'Sir' or 'Mam' that would be a dead give away.

You're going to have to use your eyes.

I think mentally he is close....I was impressed yesterday how he almost immediately started attack the D and gunning for the first down marker....except Ginn dropped them all.
On a side note...if Ginn can relocate his hands....I liked the fact that Henne was able to target Ginn often, while Pennington hardly threw balls his direction on Sunday. Don't know if it was the armstrength to put it in there of teddy just decided maybe he'd try and get open.
