I don’t necessarily agree with the crowd disrespecting him, but he’s not going to win over the crowd this way. Just get back out there and work as hard as you can Henne. They’ll stop once you get some W’s.

Wow, apparently nothing, but hardened badasses post on PFT! Obviously, the kid needs to improve, but it’s not like he isn’t working at it. Not to sound like a softie here, but it is human nature to be somewhat bothered by those types of chants from fans.

Large salaries or not, NFL players take a lot of pride in what they do. Fans chanting for a different QB isn’t going to sit well with Henne or any other player for that matter.

That said, he probably should have kept those thoughts to himself. The media will really spin this into something that he doesn’t want.

Sammy SUCKS! Sammy SUCKS!

Sorry I repeated that back in the day and y’all should feel the same ’bout sayin’ it to Henne today.

Truth is, during the regular season, there’s 159 players in the AFC East that truely suck and none of them wear the Aqua & Orange.

Chad is a wuss who would not last 5 minutes in a real sports town, i.e. New York, Philadelphia, Boston, etc. He’s fortunate to be in Miami, a town where 10,000 people show up nightly to watch the Marlins. Acutally they support the Dolphins. In other words, a lame “sports”town. Enjoy LE-FRAUD !!!!!!!

AS a loyal fan, I feel bad for Heene, the media is demonizing anyone they can, Hes already at a low point, His coaching is obviously borderline, Anytime, ie, everytime I hear sporano, say hes gotta get better, BLa ,bla,bla, I just dont see a real coach in Sporano, had faith in him, But its reared its ugly head, His voice has no influx, its so muddled and blaise, it will put ya too sleep, he maybe a nice guy, but I see the same lethargic attitude in sparono’s coaching and media footage, NO fire, just like Henne taking a Hike, no foot movement, slower than the wheres the beef lady drivin a golf cart. 3 yrs… still he has no clue, not only to scan the feild, arch the ball up…so as not to get blocked at the line, Or to pump fake. OMG… Ive never seen a slower, no dence, QB….But I blame the Coach… Isnt he subposed to teach, esp….if ya cant find that dude that can throw it your way……film doesnt lie…. Its all on Sparano.. Watch him speak….Hes a lame duck…. I can assure you, These players play for the money here… For guys like Seattles coach, Rex, Bellichek, they buy what they sell… Sporano….sorry but he cant sell hot chocolate in the north pole, hes still and always will have a teaching mentality… Not a winning mentality.. Hes got no Balls.

guys really? henne ISNT bad ok? he isnt the problem. what we need is a deep threat to go opposite of marshall. bess is a great slot option but you double marshall and throw a good saftey on bess we have no options.
a deep threat will make it so that at least one person is open then its up to henne…. once that happens it wont matter whos our qb we would even do decent with cullpepper back so shut up bout orton he isnt coming pluss he isnt the solution

To All Dolphins Fans: I’m not a fan of Chad Henne, but Ross Tucker from Sirius Satellite Radio brought up some excellent points of why the Miami Dolphins are better off sticking with Chad Henne. I agree with Ross Tucker, Dolphins fans we need to support Henne. Give Chad a chance. Did he have an Offensive line? No, only one starting Offensive lineman played the entire year. The Running Backs were very average at best, if not poor. Wide receivers were all injured with the exception of Davone Bess. Again, a QB needs a supporting cast. Even a QB like Manning or Brady, still need an Offensive line, WR’s, and a decent RB. Let’s just shut up and support our QB, Chad Henne. Dolphins #1

Henne and Kerry Collins graduated from the same Pennsylvania HS. They play in our league. He was a great HS quarterback and a great QB at Michigan. He beat us 3 times with ease. He has yet to find his way in the NFL. You can bet your butt he will. You gun slingers who throw insults at him are classless. I would think you would grow up sooner or later.

Miami needs to quit playing and sign Troy Smith.

I know a lot of people seem to not like the guy, but he did show how fast he picks up an offense after being picked-up by the 49ers the 1st week of the season and unseating Alex Smith and doing a pretty decent job considering the coaching staff and the OC change in the middle of the season.

Isn’t Henne the same bad ass who said :“My judgment is that he’s not an NFL quarterback,” Henne told Curtis Stevenson and Anita Marks of WQAM in Miami regarding Tebow. “I’ll leave it at that.” In the judgement of the fans at Miami’s training camp (and deep down the Dolphin’s GM), Chad is not an NFL quarterback. In my judgment Chad needs a heavy dose of Vagisil. I’ll leave it at that.

————————————————————

Can’t fault the guy for being a good judge of talent for other players. I’d blame the Miami front office, although it was about time the Broncos wisened up and came to the realization that they are screwed without Orton on roster as the starter. Miami’s management believed they could go out with Henne last year, which failed. Their obvious fallback for playing hardball with the Broncos in negotiations was that he could start again, which was an unwise choice as well.

When The Packers played The Dolphins, Clay Matthews/RyanPickett/CullenJenkins/Zombo, basically our entire pass rush was absent.

Henne had a huge oline to hide behind, no pressure and he still missed easy passes, even throwing an interception to Tramon Williams….Tramon is nearly half the size of Brandon Marshall.

I can understand Miami fans being frustrated (I’m a Texans fan-quite familiar with disappointment/frustration). But whatever happened to being a TRUE fan? How is it helpful to your team when you show up at training camp ragging the hell out of your own players??? That shows ZERO class!! This is just my opinion, but I don’t think Orton is some huge upgrade at QB. Is Henne going to be in the Hall of Fame? No. But he could be effective with the right coaching, better play-calling, and a better supporting cast. I think it’s refreshing for a professional athlete to be honest. These guys aren’t robots…they are human beings. Just because they get paid alot of money, doesn’t mean they’re devoid of emotion.

“You want the respect of your fans. You want them to have your back,” Henne said.

Someone please tell Chad Henne that respect is earned, not given.

He has 27 TDs and 33 Interceptions in his career. Should the dolphins fans give him a standing ovation for mediocrity?”

————————————————-

Could have traded him to the Cardinals for DRC and a second round pick for production like that!!…and the Cards would have given him $12 million a year…everybody wins.

I actually read this title and though it was a mistake. Henne grew up 90 minutes from Philly and went to same high school as me, where 75 % of the fans in the area are Eagle fans. I’d put good money on the fact that he grew up going to Eagles games if any. So for him to make a statement like that is so completely surprising to me. Seriously don’t ever come home and play for the town favorite you probably won’t make it.

I dont think you’re in much of a position to call Dolphin Fans “idiots” when you yourself are a philly fan………. Batteries, Santa Claus, Boy Scout, get my drift???

Keep this fact in mind: Only 10 out of 45 Superbowl winning teams won it with a QB that they did not draft. Support Henne.

I think it’s time the dolphins suck it up and get a real long term franchise QB. Stop getting these low 2nd and 3rd round picks that don’t have the physical or emotional ability. Stop trying to bring in journeymen QB’s with little or no arm strength (Pennington, Orton). Either trade for a real 1st stringer or bite the bullet and invest the 1st round pick (and money) on a stud. Stop living in the ghost of Marino Past.
