Chad Henne: What will he be?

[Joey_Potter]

I think Henne can become a good starter. He will never be a star but I think he can be a good starter that wins a lot of games in his career.

Good starter. I consider Garrard completely average by the way.

Who else would you consider on the level of McNabb? Eli?

Since I am overrating him a bit, and I listed why he is where I ranked him, what am I missing, or are we just going on gut feelings?

I'd say they're pretty comparable. The guys with talent that can catch fire or sh!t the bed. McNabb, Eli, Romo, Schaub, etc.

Thankfully, Henne has not exactly sh!t the bed yet (which is impressive for a 'rookie' QB with seven starts). He has been able to lead game winning drives, which is what impressed me the most, with questionable WRs/TEs (if I see a Fasano/Haynos drop one more pass...)

I think you did a pretty fair analysis. The only thing that's gonna derail this kid is if he doesn't get more consistent accuracy.

I was sold on him since his last college game against Florida. He was throwing flat-out darts all over the field.

He seems like a gamer. I'd expect him to be the type of QB to drive his team down the field in a pressure situation

[yashi]

The question is will we ever see him put up impressive numbers playing in an offense that runs the ball in some way, shape, or form 40 times a game.

Thankfully, he has Pennington working with him so that should help fix the short ball accuracy. The deep ball he has to an extent (Ginn bomb in the first Jets game), but that may come with time. He threw a few balls behind WRs yesterday, but he has been doing less of that as of late (the two Jets games)
