Remember that lame duck Penny threw in that preseason game? That ball struggled to go 20 yards. His arm is shot.
Penny is the kind of guy who always does just enough to keep you interested, but if anyone here thinks we are Super Bowl with Penny at QB they need to check themselves into rehab asap. Seriously, you need to find your franchise QB - you cannot just try and "get by" at the spot. Penny isn't a franchise QB at this point. He will lead a good team to a decent season but he just isn't elite and he will not beat the Steelers, Ravens, Colts, Saints or Jets. We must finish this season satisfied that Henne can get the job done or be 100% sure we need to throw another dart at the board, simple as that.
Rather than derail our drives with any more mildcat lag, if its all the same, and Hennes gonna sit anyway, I'd just as well place my bet on the field, and let Penny roll the dice instead. If he connects on the numbers fine, Or maybe as long as he consecutively drives the ball forward, and/or continues to complete every pass, culminating in either a TD, or craps out (doesn't convert). Any Pick 6 immediately retires him, banished to the buffet and Keno for the rest of the day.
Playoffs ? Maybe a chance but its a less than 33% chance at this point. We not only are 1-2 in the division, but we also will have to win all 3 remaining division games to win the division. I just don't see it happening. This also means we MUST win 3 of the next 4 as well since they are all conference games. And 3 are on the road. I am not trying to be pessimistic, but jeeeeeebus, that is a lot to expect when you couldn't win 2 division games at home.
this is what i hated most about penne. if we needed 6 yards he would throw a 3 yard pass. if we needed 8 yards, he would throw a 4 or 5 yard pass.
Didn't know that Henne gave up 21 points off his picks... Wait, that was special teams giving up 21 points...
With some of the throw's we see from #7 iam not sure how anyone doesn't want to see what that could evolve in to..This guy's arm is lethal, and he's not even coming close to throwing it the way he can throw it...What inclines me to believe he's gonna get better is that he's playing pretty well, while the game is happeneing fast for him, and, hes not yet 100 confident...when this sh$# slow's down, and the offensive line design starts to create the right pocket for his kind of skillset, where he can throw confident, and truly release and follow thru correctly, without jumpin on his toes after release, I think he's gonna become a nice weapon... When somebody mentioned that he looks like a jugs machine last week, I thought it was funny, then I started thinking about it..The trajectory and velocity is similar..lol. Chad "The Jug Machine' Henne....lol
Actually...... Anyone who IS in a rush to yank Henne for Penny is part of the "Cult of the Second Coming of Dan Marino". These are the people who will accept nothing less than another Marino type QB as our future. Those of us NOT in a rush to yank him accept the fact that Henne may never be as good as Marino but can be good enough to lead us to numerous Super Bowls. I'm talkin to you, 20turd. LOL. Just teasing.
Gosh..... the nerve of a QB to throw an interception. I'm glad Marino never threw an INT or else we might've had David Woodley at QB for a decade. PHEW!!!
Here's a nice stat for everyone...... Matt Ryan has had more than twice as many multiple INT games during his LAST 17 games than Henne has during his 1st 17. Ryan: 9 Henne: 4 What boggles my mind is that most Dolphin fans accept Matt Ryan as one of the probable elite QB's of the future, but some of these same fans don't have the freakin patience to allow our own Franchise QB (who is close to Ryan caliber) the necessary time to develop. What boggles my mind even more is the belief that a QB "will lead us to the SB" who hasn't played in over a year, after a shoulder injury, who was 0-3 last season, couldn't beat a playoff caliber team in 08, about 9 of his wins in 08 came against HORRID defenses, and is in the decline of his career. 23rd........ you speak of Penny as if he's Tom freakin Brady..... like he's the shining light to the promise land. Please wake up and Quit living in the past. This is 2010; the 08 season will not repeat itself. The 08 Penny & season were an aberration. And please don't forget, the WildCat won some of those game for him and the Pats didn't have Brady.
Jests were not nearly as good as they are now either, they really have loaded up on talent these last few years. With our tough schedule, Penny will do nothing to improve this team, either in the short or long term. The adoration and hope some people pin on this guy is nothing short of astounding.
good call. his 3 interceptions (1 not his fault) resulted in 13 points. we scored 14........ he also threw 2 tds (14 pts) so he was responsible for a net gain of 1 pt. keep trying though, this is fun
I love how the voice of reason makes naysayers go stagnant for a post or 2. It's like a cold sore....... we'll address the issue, but another one will eventually pop up somewhere else where it's uncontested.
Dude, give up. Henne stinks, he can't throw, he is dumb, he is the only reason we have lost 2 games. He even smells bad, drives slow, doesn't know how to cook good, has bad breath, watches a lot of bad movies, hates children, beats up old women, and has done NOTHING to reduce his carbon footprints.
