This kind of Phoenix

A year ago, Henne was one of the front runners for the Heismann and supposed to be one of the best QBs in college. He struggled more this year than we thought and his stock plummetted. However, with a good showing at the Capitol One Bowl, his practices this week and the Senior Bowl, he's back in the limelight.

I'll go on record right now as saying Henne will be the 2nd best QB from this class. Matt Ryan being the best. I don't think any of these will be super-studs, but along the Mark Rypien / Mark Brunell caliber, so pretty good.

Thoughts?

I like him as much as any QB in the draft. :goodposting: It's awesome to hear he's done well at the Senior Bowl as well.

I'd take him in Round 2/3(?) before I took Ryan/Brohm/Woodson in the high/mid 1st.

I've yet to find the love affair with Brohm and Woodson. Henne as the #2 QB is not unreasonable, and I could see him being a player that a few teams try to move up to get.

 
As a Dolphin fan, I'd love to see them grab Henne at the top of the 3rd...but I think he'll be gone by then.

 
After watching him for years I don't know if I can buy Henne as QB #2. He still has a major problem locking onto receivers, although I will admit he has gotten a lot better in that respect.

He struggled at Michigan this season because he was injured in week 2 vs. oregon.

The Big 10 season started pretty much after that injury so he was rushed back with a Freshman QB taking charge on a team that was ranked top 5 preseason and some seniors on the team who only came back to have a chance to win a National Championship, win the Big 10 and beat Ohio St.

He never really got healthy the entire season, his injury also affected Manningham and is why his numbers are so up and down as well.

We saw how good he can be when he had all that time off in between the last game of the reguar season and the bowl game.......he was finally healthy.

I believe Miami has a good QB.

Suprising you say that. I think that's one of Henne's strengths. IMHO he can-Make all the throws-He's able to call audibles into better plays to take advantage of the defense-He has the ability to look off the safety (which is an important skill in the NFL)I too think he'll be the 2nd best QB in this draft. He did seem to regress a little this past season which surprised me. I'll chalk it up to his injuries though and give him the benefit of the doubt.

Now that Brohm is a Packer I'm starting to feel the love... :bag:

 
He's a statue in the pocket and can't throw on the move.

Drew Bledsoe with the Cowboys comes to mind. The Dolphins should have given John Beck a real shot before drafting another first day QB.

I don't remember much talk of Henne as a Heisman frontrunner going into last season. I seem to remember Brohm getting all the love from the media.

Pretty sure he was gone before the end of the 2nd, so he was right.

Fair enough. That means that the "grab Henne at the top of the 3rd" was off base then.

Heh, would have been pretty hard for him to know which picks the Dolphins would trade....

Drew Bledsoe, I think I've heard of him before. That's right he passed for over 3,000 yards 9 times.

Drew Bledsoe was a Pro Bowl QB. I think the Dolphins can live with that.

Hopefully the size increase and bolding helps. I saw Drew Bledsoe play when he was younger and Chad Henne is not a young Drew Bledsoe. He doesn't have the poise in the pocket and ability to stick throws when the pressure is on. Then again, neither did Drew Bledsoe after his first half year in Buffalo.I'm not saying thet Henne will be a bust...just that he isn't going to make an offense dynamic and will be more prone to mistakes than most starting QB's. The Dolphins should have upgraded elsewhere before selecting Henne, especially with a more accurate QB in John Beck already on the roster.

I read what you said the first time. I don't really buy your argument because Bledsoe never could throw on the run, not well anyway. For the rest of your argument, we'll see. I think Henne was a solid choice and he'll be a good pro. I'm not going to argue forever about it because it's not something we're going to be able to prove for at least a couple years anyway.

At no point did I say that Bledsoe was adept at sticking passes on the run...if he was why would I compare him to Henne? :wall: My argument is that Chad Henne's game now is similar to Drew Bledsoe's when he was on the Cowboys. Both are pocket passers (with decent arm strength) but their lack of mobility and the fact that they lock on to their receivers eventually costs their team. That's where the comparison ends because Bledsoe was a difference maker in college and could lead a team to the Super Bowl early in his career. Henne lets his team get tripped up at home to Appalachian State. ;)Edit: John... :thumbup:

Is he related to Chad Henne? :goodposting: I'm having a hard time figuring out if you don't like Michigan or just Chad.

Dolphins Rookie QB Henne Mini-Camp Report

Harvey Fialkov, South Florida Sun-Sentinel - http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/footbal...,0,989186.story

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Chad Henne seemed to be working on mental overload as he wrapped up the final practice of the three-day rookie minicamp Sunday. At one point, he was told to run a lap after blowing an assignment. After three solid practices, the former Michigan quarterback was overthrowing most of his receivers. It was partly due to having to learn 150 pages of the playbook in four days and then trying to assimilate it on the field with rookie receivers he has never thrown to before.

:whoosh: Fixed the name...lol. I could care less about Michigan (or Miami for that matter) one way of the other. I just would not have selected Chad Henne in the first two rounds and feel the Dolphins made a mistake by selecting him when they have a capable QB to groom in John Beck. Seems like a classic case of Parcells wanting his guy (ie, a "tough" guy) to lead the team instead of seeing what Beck could do first.In the NFL I see Henne as more John Navarre than Jim Harbaugh. :goodposting:
