Potential Jets: Chad Henne

but with Sparano doesn’t look too likely. Not a bad call, though. I don’t think too much of Henne even in the college however.

I really see the Brady Quinn scenario play out over this one.

I am not a big fan of Quinn either. He was immature when he came out and that is why the Browns dropped him so fast.

Not the answer either.

not a bad move with Sparano here,i wouldnt pay too much for him,he could fill in a game if we need him. i bekieve his pro blem is that he was drafted too hogh and the expectations became high.

ANY DAY.

and went with every other QB under the sun instead of Henne.

Doesn’t exactly add up. What if our answer is seriously Greg McEIroy. That would be awesome.

Is that enough for the Jets to serious considering passing.

I think Woody is going to bid for Peyton, he wants to fill the seats and nothing else.

Is the real question. Do we want to light a little spark under his ass or a legitimate fire. Henne will never be our franchise QB, so if Sanchez sucks don’t expect Henne to become ‘the answer’.
If the FO is really concerned that Mark is not going to pan out, than I would expect to see a legitimate contender with real potential come on board. Not a journeyman/ mediocre type. Henne ain’t noboby’s hero.

What I do get, is after or during the Raven game Sanchez lost his confidence and it really don’t seems like he’s gonna get it back, with his teammates throwing him under the bus. Hopefully this new system will help him get it back. I have serious doubts about that happening.

Hahaha good one. Seriously Henne blows.

He’ll probably be cheap, he’s still young, he has history with Sparano, and he has a big arm and can drill the ball all over the field. But he doesn’t have as much talent as Mark if Mark plays up to the level he is capable of. Henne will be the perfect guy to peek over Mark’s shoulder and make him compete day in and day out. And Henne will be gunning every day for that shot if Mark slips up.

But if we’re looking for a viable back-up, a guy that can win games if need be, then we’re probably gonna have to part with some nice coin and go after veteran former starter.

Brady Quinn is a FA as well & may be a decent choice too. One good thing about Henne is that Sparano knows him so well & Henne would have a leg up on whatever system Sparano implements.

Think about it: You’re the GM. Your third-year “franchise” quarterback is coming dangerously close to being a total flop. What do you need to do? You need to start thinking about Plan B.

Hands down, you give Mark another year—too much invested in him, too many flashes of talent to ignore. But you also have to start thinking about what happens in 2012 AND in 2013 if he isn’t going to be the guy to lead your franchise for the next decade.

So here’s what you do: Sign a known talent — a game manager, not a superstar QB — that can legitimately fill the role in 2012, but potentially also in 2013, when he’s playing ahead of/mentoring the next QB-hopeful you drafted (in 2013’s QB-rich draft).

Whoever the Jets pick up in FA needs to be more than someone that can add some mental pressure on Sanchez. That person should also be able to serve as the bridge between Sanchez and our next big QB pick if #6 doesn’t make strides in 2012.

Certainly we need a viable back up but as someone who used to go the games at Shea and has lived on and off in Florida the past 30 years we really don’t want to pick up Henne. I actually felt bad for my friends that are Dolphans as Henne clearly established he simply doesn’t have what it takes. This year clearly indicates teams must be prepared with a back up that is ready to start anytime and there’s nothing wrong with Sanchez competing for the starting job. Henne, however, is not who we want.

Posted similar response elsewhere, maybe more appropriate here..

I’m not impressed with Henne, for whom the Wildcat was a necessity.

I like Sanchez, he’s likely our quarterback for the long term but does need some competition in a good number 2, and McElroy isn’t ready for that role yet, and we can’t waste a pick to draft a ‘back-up’ quarterback of that caliber. Nor do we want to trade for a quarterback of above-average quality without giving away too many pieces. Last year we shed a lot of veterans and the impact was felt in the locker room.

I think we need to acquire a decent free agent who’s been around long enough to legitimately push for a starting role, but not so old as to be a one season savior as Favre looked to be, or Peyton would possibly be (and a costly pick-up in any case). A career back-up without great numbers but not bad either. Looking through the available free agents, Shaun Hill (Detroit) sticks out as the closest fit for what we’re looking for. Admittedly there aren’t a lot of good FA options, the good starters will stay with their teams and much of the rest haven’t seen much playing time, haven’t produced when they have, are in their mid-late 30s, or are career journeymen destined for no. 2 or 3 on any given team.

Thoughts?
