Chad Henne

Chad Henne is like the kid in school whose parents force him to play sports when he obviously doesn’t want to anymore. Henne should be a permanent backup quarterback in the NFL. And yet, teams just keep offering him opportunities to be the starting quarterback. When are they going to learn?

Obviously, Henne wasn’t the answer in Miami, so what does Jacksonville do? The Jaguars make him their starting quarterback. Is it seriously that hard to find a quarterback better than Henne?

Henne is 18-32 as a starter in the NFL. I mean, Henne was on some bad Miami teams, but they weren’t that bad. Henne hasn’t had a season in his career in which he threw more touchdowns than interceptions. Not one. If I was predicting another “toilet bowl” like the 2012 Jets-Cardinals game, the Week 7 Jaguars-Browns matchup would be my pick.

I’ve said enough.
