Should we try thigpen today?

NO...

No.

Why?

If we're going to make a switch, it should be to CHAD PENNINGTON.

If you think Tyler Thigpen is the answer at QB, you are smoking better stuff than Ricky Williams.

Anyone wanting a QB change right now is smoking something.

Just thinking. Lol. We will win this game now I feel. When I typed that I was losing confidence.

lol, yeah sorry, this team might be bi-polar lol

I think they are making us all Bi-Polar....

wow, thigpen? really? COME ON MAN!

He's one of the regular "Henne Haters". He posted that so he could point back so he could say..."I told you so" if Henne had a bad day.

Bi Polar team? It was a typical game for this team. 5 FG's 1 TD. Nothing different.

Yes, Henne can't get it done and we still have some tough games ahead. Raiders are putting up 500 yds a game

Thigpen had better numbers than henne when starting for KC with much fewer weopons

Oh gosh...here we go....

The raiders put up 500 yards in ONE game. Their average for the year is 388 yards, which is 40 yards per game better than ours. That's nice, but I'd argue that we'd have a tougher schedule than the raiders AND we still have a better record.

Nope. Thigpen had a couple good games with KC but his rating for the 2008 season was 76.0, while Henne's is currently 82.5. Henne also leads in completion percentage. So I'd disagree that Thigpen had "better numbers"

For the record, I am not a Henne hater. I just think we dont have that franchise QB we are desperately seeking. I watched the Patriot game last night and just watched brady get those 10 yard at time throws and it was like he can do no wrong. I hate the Pats, but I think that team will be good for the next 10 years. We need franchise players, and truthfully I think sporano is not the coach. He is way to conservative. Bill B makes those balzy calls that just seem to pan out. And they are loaded on draft picks next season which scares me even more.

Dude, if we STILL don't have a "franchise" QB (as you say) 11 years after Marino, then we better start focusing on other things. Brady is a future HoFer. How many other teams in the NFL have a future HoFer as a starting QB (who isn't washed up like Favre)? Plenty of teams are winning without one.

Oh, and if you think you need a HoF-type QB to win a Superbowl, tell that to Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Phil Simms, etc.. Heck, I don't even consider Troy Aikman or Steve Young guys who should be in the HoF. They both played on teams with great players around them at every position. Throw either of those guys on a mediocre team and they'd be average.

If you're stuck comparing Henne to Brady, you'll never be satisfied. I suggest you give it up.

You just love the pats do you dolfan?

No one knows how Thigpen will do. Many back-ups get into the game and rock! Call it gut feeling or that we are tired of seeing an offense that should be explosive and is not. Not one person can say that we don't have a good line. Plus we have weapons on offense so something is not working. The run game and the passing game go hand in hand. The problem is that the offense is barely getting it done. All the pieces need to be in sink and some of us feel the weak link is Henne. Stats can tell you all you want, but the bottom line is Wins vs. Losses. Putting a more mobile QB in could be the answer.

And because we think that, some of you blast us for that.

Hey. If we're out of contention for the playoffs, then try Thigpen and see what he can do. Otherwise, don't gamble!

We put in thigpen and hennes confidence will be shattered....Why should we put him anyways . Henne isn't doing that bad. He is doing rather well.

Why are we on hennes case? Because he three an int?

The bengals QB threw an int at the end of the game as well to lose the game. I don't think people in cincinatti are going to be calling for his head.

Give henne some credit.

No I dont love the Pats, I actually loathe them, and I would never say this stuff in front of my friends who are Pats fans but damn they do look again.

I really don’t get the Thigpen vs Henne, or Henne vs Thigpen “debate.”

For crying out loud they’re both on the Miami Dolphins roster and
seriously who focking cares if one of them can score TD’s.

Right now this Offense is pretty pathetic and you just can’t expect to beat good football teams with field goals. The bottom line is that Henne is just NOT making the plays – and his inconsistency kills drives, ONE AFTER THE OTHER.

As far a “loving” or “hating” Henne or Thigpen, I find that that type of school yard crap stupid.

Phins fan2 are you watchibng the games? he isn't getting it done in the red zone. Marshall has 1 TD! 8 TDs in 7 games? Only 2 rushing TD's

Agreed there is some bad play calling and dropped passes, but somwe are bad throws in crunch time

When you kicker has 10 FG's in the last 2 games the offense isn't getting it done
