Chad Henne doesn't have Chad Pennington's experience or track record. But Henne, the new quarterback of the 0-3 Dolphins, does offer something else.

"I think arm strength is the obvious (thing)," coach Tony Sparano said. "Now, arm strength in this league doesn't necessarily mean everything."

"If it presents itself out there, we'll hook up a couple of times," Henne said. "But if it's not there, I've got to be smart with the ball."

Win, Lose, or Tie, I will be a Dolphins Fan Until I Die:up:

"When you come in and all of the sudden, 'Boom,' on one play ... you're in the game, that's pretty hard to do," Sparano said.

John Madden couldn't have said it any better.

i liked this line

"He's already been a leader; he was born a leader," said Ginn, a former star at Ohio State who faced Henne three times in college.

Henne brings some good things to the Dolphins, he has a strong arm, good legs and is not someone elses cast off or reject.
As good as it has been having Chad Pennington, his experience and his leadership there was always the health issue in the back of everyones mind. Henne has no handicaps and gives us a healthy QB with all of the skills needed. The only real unanswered question is his ability to execute and his ability to play with intelligence. His young and healthy arm may be able to bring out the best in the receivers we have if they play smart too.

Not going to matter if they have him dinking and dunking llike he was while we still had a chance in the SD game. I'm not overly optimistic on Henne but here's hoping he proves me wrong. As long as we keep running the ball down people's throats, it should make Henne's job easier with PA and deep passes.
