The phins just resigned Joey Haynos to an offer sheet or something!?!

I thought he absolutely sucked last year!!!
Can't block and can't catch. REALLY!??!

Someone help me out with this one. Please.
I know I'm no rocket surgen, or the sharpest bulb in the shed, but what am I missing???

settle down sparky.

he and Bess and Carpenter were exclusive rights free agents. They had to resign them to 1 year deals.

And Haynos started 8 games and was better than Fasano last year!! You can't cut your #1 TE when you can sign him to a 1 year deal and pay him next to nothing

Haynos is not a bad blocker. Good run blocker but not so much at pass blocking. He also made some key catches last year. He had as many TD's as the starting TE and only one less than our best WR. He was targeted 33 times and had 2 drops.

I still have a feeling Kory Sperry will beat out BOTH Fasano and Haynos for the #1 TE spot. Maybe I'm just crazy

I vote for your crazy! lol

He was better than Fasano!? On what level? Not when it came to clutch catches, or key blocks. And Fasano is average at best.
I always saw Haynos just standing around looking lost, when he should have been looking for someone to knock on their ass!!
I know he cost us at least one game last year when he ran a sloppy route and caused a pick at the goal line.

I'm not really that upset about it, just something to talk about.

Maybe someother team wll think we really like him, and trade us a 5th or 6th rounder for him.

Amazes me how people turn on a player after a bad season.

Fasano will be fine. Crowder will be fine.

Henne cost us a game as well with the pick 6's and ints at bad times. I don't see anyone jumping off that bandwagon...yet.

One bad game I'll excuse. A bad season? That's usually a sign of things to come. By the same token, why must we put our complete faith in a player after one good season (i.e. Fasano)?

Crowder didn't really have a bad season, and I think he'll do MUCH better at WILB. As for Fasano, he hurt us in a number of games by either dropping balls, fumbling, or disappearing altogether. I'm

Again, one game, not an entire season. Henne also brought us back and one a few games!

Depth man, depth.

You can make a case that Fasano cost Miami 2 games by himself. Indy he drops a TD. And Atlanta week 1 he had numerous drops and the HUGE fumble before halftime that cost us points.

Haynos was a much much MUCH better TE than Fasano last year.

Out of the "young" QB's in the league, only Flacco is better than Henne.

I would take Henne over Ryan, Stafford, and Sanchez.

Signing Haynos now isn't such a tragedy. If we get better TEs in the draft or through trades between now and the end of preseason, we can always cut Haynos and that's the end of that. Of course I'm assuming that the terms of his deal are not heavy with signing bonus $.

I liked what little I saw from Kory Sperry. Kid can catch, and he can block for the running game, too. Don't know about passing game, but I'd
rather have him out in the pattern anyway.

Not quite there yet and never will be if they don't get him some weapons.

Well we are talking about NFL Quarterbacks not Peewee League...

The Society is the NFL not the world and out of 100 NFL QB's, there are about 10 that are elite....One who throws for 4,000 yards and 25 TD's and a 2:1 TD to INT ratio....year in and year out.

Sparano today said in his press conference there is a QB competition in Miami. But NOT for the starting job. Henne is the man

Handing him the job publicly is a giant step towards considering Henne an elite QB!!

In my eyes, Henne will be an elite QB when he puts up elite numbers.(Even if I have to adjust them for lack of talent in the WR position.)
