I believe it's time to make the QB change, certainly I believe Henne is the long term answer for the dolphins but he needs another year of mentoring, playing behind Pennington would be valuable. QB is not only physical but mostly mental, reading defenses, taking what the defense offers, manipulating cornerbacks and linebackers with your eyes, touch passes, putting the ball in places to give your receiver the best opportunity to catch the ball and get yards after the catch.

I wont say he was the reason for the lost on Sunday, many factors contributed from play calling, basic defense, poor tackling etc. Let me hear from you Dolphans

Rumor has it Jacksonville is after Thigpen. Give them Pennington!

Poor Defense, special teams, and stupid play calling (dump the cat) lost that game.

Hopefully running game can get going

can we have a poll for how rediculous this poll is? henne is coming off his best game as a pro and you think we need a change? to a rag armed pennington who can't throw 20 yards???

stop this. Just stop it.

Are some people STILL waiting for the next Dan Marino? Geez. You guys are going to be waiting a LONG time!

Exactly.

Has anyone else noticed that we have about five different threads going that chastise Henne, started by people who either are newly registered, or registered a while ago but have been dormant for a year or two?

I don't believe that they're necessarily Jets fans. Because when I lived in Florida I encountered LOTS of "fans" like these.

Welcome, or welcome back to the board, guys. You are very entertaining.

Go back to sleep old posters, watch the game before you put down the QB play.

You think they watched the game against the jets?

HMMMMMMMM.....!

Once again if our DEF would of played half a ball game instead of not playing at all, we would be 3-0 and this convo wouldn't even be taking place People need to learn where to point the finger.

Henne out played Brady against the jets and looked amazing watch that 40 yard completion and tell me penn could of made that throw???

If pennington makes that throw or attemps that throw rather, it flows in the air half way and gets intercepted by the jets.

Please drop this stupid thread.

Just like any team, the Dolphins have bandwagon fans, who can't jump off fast enough at the first sign of trouble. Hopefully they break an ankle or something in the process, and are unable to jump back on later.

This thread should be locked.

Ive never jumped off the bandwagon even on the 1-15 season. I still enjoyed the game against the ravens.

PS> Maybe the moderators of this site are to erase this thread. I agree its stupid.

It's stupid but 21 of you voted..............

Yep, and only ONE guy (I'm guessing the one that opened the thread) doesn't have confidence in Henne.

There was no category for "HELL NO!"

I think we should just release Henne, Pennington and Thigpen and pickup John Beck, Joey Harrington and Josh McCown.

AJ Feely would do as well.

Well I heard from you all loud and clear and it eveident Henne has a great deal of support as the QB, as stated previously I too think he's the long term answer. I also stated he was not to the only reason we lost on Sunday Night, but many of you attended the game and participated in the Boos when he missed Marshall and Hartline who were at lest three steps beyond their defenders! yes I agree, defense, special teams and "Play calling" contributed in a major way in the loss. Thanks for participating, let's correct the path of this ship on Monady night against another division opponent the Patriots*

Young quarterbacks develop by playing. There's only so much they can learn standing on the sideline. During the preseason, Jimmy Cefalo and Joe Rose, who both roomed with David Woodley at one time or another, both talked about how putting in Don Strock was the worst thing that ever happened to Woodley. They said that once he started looking over his shoulder to see if he was going to get pulled, he was done in mentally. You can't do that to young quarterbacks.

It's also interesting you mention the play where he overthrew Hartline. Hartline was not 3 steps beyond the defender. He had a step on him, not three. Three steps would have had him open by 5 or 6 yards. And on this particular play, one Dan Marino himself laid a good part of the blame on Hartline. Dan said that Hartline never made a move to sell the route, and just tried to run by Wilson. Dan said that yes, he beat his man, but by a small enough amount that it still required a perfect throw. He said that with a move, he gets more separation, and makes that a much easier throw for his QB.

Without placing blame on the QB or the WR, the throw was a very difficult throw. You can't expect all difficult throws to be completed. Henne made a lot of very difficult throws in that game, and complete most of them.

Most QBs couldn't even have attempted some of those passes.

I just watched highlights and I thought Henne had an awesome game.

The Patriots fans that I work with are even saying if Henne plays like that again they don't stand a chance.

PATRIOT FANS!!
