    Sanchez was very good in 2010, he took a staep back w/ OL and WR problems and problems of his own but his 2010 was far superior to anything Henne has ever done in this league. henne is nothing more than a back up in this league, Sanchez has proven you can win big w/ him as a starter.

    I don't think Mark took a step back last year. He played injured down the stretch which affected him, but with his terrible OL and receivers I thought he played fairly well.

    Henne is still a very young player.. I tend to give QB's time in this league..

    He has superior Arm Strength and one thing I've said about Sanchez, he's really been lucky IMO so far not having to play in too many real bad weather games.

    Heading into last season, A lot of well respected football people had Sanchez and Henne close - I'll start with Matt Williamson:

    Henne is the prototype. He has a very good arm and can threaten the field at all levels. He is well built and shows great toughness. He can stand in the pocket in the face of a heavy rush, step into his throw and deliver the football. Henne sees the field and reads coverages better than Sanchez.

    While he might not be as light on his feet or as good of a runner as Sanchez, Henne gets the most out of every play by standing firm and keeping his eyes downfield. In contrast, Sanchez too often feels and reacts to pressure that isn’t there and hurries his throw or leaves plays on the field. Miami consistently keeps an extra pass blocker in and have some very solid peripheral pass blockers, but it would not be a shock if they were less conservative in this regard next season.





    ... Again, I'm not saying Henne is better - but, it's not the Knockout that you seem to think.....

    And personally for the draft picks and money spent, I'll take Henne and spend the saved resources elsewhere.

    Henne has more arm strength but sanchz is better in every other area. Yeah it's qucik to give up on a young QB but Henne was a guy who couldn't win big games in college and can't do it so far in the NFL. Some guys can play under pressure and some can't, so far Sanchez has proven he can(despite the awful end to 2011).

    Henne is lead footed and inaccurate as a passer, he may stand in but he doesn't deliver the ball on time and accurately. He had a monster like Brandon Marshall and still couldn't succeed.

    Bringing Henne in would take us a step closer to SOJ.

    The smart move is to make a decision one way or the other on Sanchez and stick to it. Half-measures will produce half-results. Having Sanchez and Henne competing on an even footing with the loser demoted to the backup role just won't work, because both guys will be making too much money for that to happen.

    If Sanchez lost the battle in training camp he'd have to be cut given his cap hit and salary for the year. If Henne lost the battle we'd have a 3+ million a year backup eating up cap space and waiting to become a QB controversy in the making as soon as Sanchez had a bad game, which all QB's do.

    The dynamics just wouldn't work for the Jets. Think of it as a Kevin Kolb/John Skelton situation. One of the guys has a huge contract that he hasn't earned at this point. The other is a fan favorite who hasn't played all that well. What are the Cards doing this off-season? They're trying to get out from under both of them by bringing in a new QB.

    What the Jets should do is go draft a QB in the 4th round who is a real prospect. Not a weak-armed guy like Greg McElroy who appears to be capped before he ever hits the field. A guy who is going to learn the new system alongside Sanchez and then if Sanchez is injured or fails in the job can come in and try to give the team a spark.

    The guy won't have the aura of past failures hanging over his head like Henne will. He won't have close ties to the offensive coordinator coming in the door like Henne would. He won't have anything but an uneven playing field thrown at him and if he gets on the field it's because he earned it or Sanchez lost it. Either way the Jets are better off than if Henne takes the field.

    BTW, I'm a big Michigan fan and I love seeing Wolverines land here. I would have been ok with the Jets taking Henne in the early second the year he came out. I've loved what I've seen him do for the Fins in Miami. I wish he'd stayed there to continue that performance and I'm hopeful he doesn't bring it to the Jets right now.

    No Henne, please. I'd rather have Brady Quinn.

    I'd rather see the Jets take a look at David Garrard. Apparently, he's open to being in a backup role as well. Much better option than both Henne and Brady Quinn, and shouldn't be too expensive.

    I like the idea of bringing in Quinn for the same reasons they are considering Henne. Obviously there is speculation of Henne, but anything surrounding Quinn?

    Lest we forget the right side of our line protecting him. Porous OL + lead-footed QB = break Ken O'Brien's sack record by week 14

    I disagree completely that a QB needs a good backup to offer competition. Sanchez works just as hard as the best of them. Having another QB there, wouldn't change that, and quite frankly is a waste of money, in a limited cap situation. Fixing the offensive line and adding a deep threat, however would go a long way.

    $5 mil would be a waste for a backup but we do need a backup that we can rely on if sanchez is banged up.

    Personally I love this option and if the Jets bring him in you know it is a good thing because that means Sporano really likes him. Also by looking at some Dolphin message boards they all say he can be a very quality player in the future, he's just very young right now and has made mistakes all young QB's have.

    I say get Henne because he has the most upside of any free agent QB after Flynn.

    I think Henne would be a very good backup for you guys. The problem is, and I explained this in another thread, but I'll say it again, I think everyone agrees that no matter what Sanchez will be the starter week 1 next season. So if they bring Henne in and say he will give Sanchez competition it wont look good to the other players if Henne outperforms Sanchez during training camp and the preseason yet Sanchez still starts. The other players will see that Sanchez got beat out but still has his job and they'll lose respect for Sanchez and the coaching staff, and will likely cause a rift between the players and staff. You think Holmes is bad now, imagine what he would be like when he's not getting the ball, and he knows there is somebody on the team that could do better.

    Nyjunc and I debated this in the other thread, so I guess it comes down to whether you think Henne can outperform Sanchez or not. I personally think he can, and I actually think he would. I think that just causes more problems in the long run. If I were the jets I would bring somebody in that I knew wasn't better than Sanchez, and was only here to be a backup and to come in if Sanchez got hurt.

    I think Garrard is a better fit and will come at a better price. Henne at vet minimum or thereby, fine. Henne at $4m, no.
