I don't want the Fins to start playin musical quarterbacks, but...

I think they should give Henne the start at home next week. If for nothing else, I want to see if there is any merit to the argument that the receivers (namely Ginn) are suffering from Pennington's inability to get the ball down the field. We should see how Henne manages the game, and if he can give the offense a spark.
If he's not ready, sit him back down, simple as that.

I don't know. I want to say yes, but my heart says not to.

Today it wasn't even that bro. Today Pennington was just missing wrs. The miss fire to Fasano early on shoulda been a td.

He missed Ginn at least twice that i can recall.

I mean if Pennington is inaccurate on top of being weak then the wrs have no chance.

All that being said, Pennington deserves a few more games, but Henne should start preparing now.

No!

I dont think Henne will be playing yet. Pennington is still providing more stability at the QB position then we've had in a while. if it was Cleo Lemon like last year...then he might get a shot. But I think Penny will continue to start at least till the latter part of the year.

 

[RUDEbyallMEANS]

No, Henne will the Miami starter in '09.. Can't wait to see Henne's arm utilizing Ginn's speed and Camarillo's seperation ability.

 

[das8929]

Only put Henne in if the game is out of reach

Theres no merit to the Ginn theory, thats just homers on here whining for their boy.

 

[Imperium]

Sure why not? As soon as the coaching staff feels that Henne is ready to start, he should be playing. There's no reason to keep Henne on the bench the entire season, unless we're in the middle of a playoff run.

 

[Etuoo33]

Henne HAS been preparing, it's weather now is the time. Flacco just did pretty good, and the kid in Atlanta has done alright.... so why not? Teams know Penny can't throw long.

It's as much the fact that we don't have receivers, other then Camarillo, who can seperate enough to give Pennington a target. Flacco looked like an all pro because his receivers time and time again got seperation and got open.
I'm surprised this is a conversation, considering you are talking about a qb who had a rating of OVER 100 for 3 STRAIGHT WEEKS! Now he goes up against the #1 defense in the NFL, without quality receivers and we want to bench him. I think that would be the biggest mistake we could make. Henne would get killed and remember up until Flacco played our sorry secondary he had 1 touchdown and 7 interceptions. He was going to sit just like Henne until both of the other qb's got hurt.
We have a quality qb in Pennington, and benching him would just send a message to the rest of the team that the coaches are giving up on the season. We are 2-4, no i don't think we will make any playoff run, but to give up would be a huge mistake. This team is going to have growing pains, they have to LEARN to win, giving up on Pennington would be teaching the team to roll over and accept losing.

Get out of here. Ginn gets seperation just fine. You can't base what Henne would do up against the other rookie quarterbacks in the league. Henne's ready to play and if the coaching staff thinks it's his time he'll get a chance.

 

[dolpns13]

we absolutely cannot do to henne this year what we did to Beck last year. no way

Ginn is fast enough to get seperation, but watch him. He doesn't get it because his route running is still rough at best. Also, that would mean ONE wr in our WHOLE wide receiving core gets seperation. Hmmm, pretty easy to defend. Finally, how do you know Henne is ready to play? Because of mop up duty in a blow out or his work against vanilla defenses in the pre-season. If you want another Beck on our hands play him. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Ginn was wide open pleny of times today. One on play Pennington actually BOUNCED the ball trying hit Ginn on a deep out. It was sad. Henne would have made the throw. Pennington is a game manager, not a come back QB.
