Sanchez and Henne? has anyone ever heard the saying “two wrongs don’t make a right” I don’t know what the Jets can do, but with those two losers they won’t win anything, it’s time for a real QB and a real runningback. I like Shonn Greene, but in reality he’s more of a fullback.

As a Jets fan I’ve never seen a player walk off the field after throwing a pick or fumbling as if it didn’t matter; like Sanchez has. Sanchez might be the first to training and/ or studying but at the end of the day what you do and how you perform on gameday is what matters. Sanchez needs to have someone breathing down his neck so that he knows that winners don’t take breaks on gameday; they perform. Now Henne is not Rodgers or Brees but he is a capable QB. Let’s not forget that in Miami; they wore out that “wildcat” formation. The guy would start to get into a rythem and “Bam!” here came the wildcat. Not to mention that with the Dolphins he didn’t have the talent that he will have (if he indeed signs) with Jets. Sometimes a change of scenery can work wonders; let’s give him a fair chance. At the very least Sanchez stops talking about week in and week out after a lose about how he needs to take care better of the ball and/ or make better decisions (which he should trademark as his excuses) on the field and actually does it. Let’s give Henne a chance; he deserves a second chance (he has a strong arm and isn’t afraid to run) Go Jets!!!!
P.S. I dislike Brady but lets face facts; if a pro bowl QB that has championships under his belt can get chewed out on National Tv for throwing a bone-head interception then why can’t Sanchez?!? Yet it never happened and he walked around like as if he were Montana.

So tell me PFT, is Mark Sanchez an “underachiever” because he didn’t take the Jets to the play-offs for the first time since he turned pro or is he an “underachiever” because you guys didn’t pick him as one of your choosen QBs like you do every draft season?

I’ll be waiting to see what will be said of such media darling QBs, as Luck, Bradford, and Stafford when they fail to advance their team to the Play- offs every season.

When you have two QBs that are equally as good, it’s never a good thing. We all know how well things worked out for Cleveland with Brady Quinn and DA.

The point of this is to light a fire under Marks butt. Chad Henne and Mark Sanchez have always been compared. If Rex letting Brunell have a couple of starting reps pissed off Sanchez, imagine the reaction he’d have to a legitimate QB battle in training camp. If that doesn’t motivate him to play better and really step his game up, then he is not starting quarterback material and that is fact.

Can you show us what evidence you are referring to when you state that Henne was playing well before the injury?

Sanchez also had horrible protection this year, and nearly got his head taken off by his right tackle. Still put up 32 TD’s in 16 games.

Do you also think its coincidence that the Dophins sucked this year with Henne and then turned it around pretty quickly under another bad QB named Moore? And somehow the protection just got so much better under Moore so we should just ignore his success with the same players Henne sucked with?

I feel sorry for you Jets fans because Chad Henne is garbage. So inconsistent. And Sparano as an OC? OMG. Players love the him but he’s not an X’s & O’s guy. I can already taste the vanilla.

I’m already amazed that the Jets hired Sparano after he got fired from Miami, & to possibly add Henne into the mix is yet another step backwards. I don’t know why anyone would defend Henne at all. He accomplished nothing as a starter except to prove that Matt Moore is better than he is.

Put down the crack pipe, its not healthy for you! The jets would of won one of their championship games with Henne instead of Sanchez? You think Henne is going to do better than roughly a 100 QB rating and a 5-1 TD-INT ratio in championship games, including one of them agains the top ranked pitt defense?

Has Henne even played in a big game before, let alone played well? No, I didnt think so. So be quiet.

Did the Jets make the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years in spite of Sanchez? Yes, they did. But HE was the reason they made it to the championship game both of those seasons. Hard to argue with a 4-2 playoff record all on the road along with a 9-3 TD-INT ratio, a 60% completion percentage, and a 94+ QB rating ranked 6th all time in NFL playoff history. How about them apples? Sanchez was the reason they were in both those games, they lost because of poor defense against INDY in the 2nd half and PITT in the 1st half. Sanchez was arguably the best Jet player on the field in both of those games.

We will talk when Henne plays well in his first big game of his career, it has yet to happen.

Chad Henne is not a “rubber band arm”. He can throw it deep. He just has ZERO deep ball accuracy. It was actually frightening to see him take a shot down the field because you knew one of two things were going to happen. Either the receiver would be ahead of the pass because Henne underthrew it, or the DB would catch it and start running. I love ya Chad but I WILL NOT miss you. You’re a lock to take Sanbust’s job though.

Henne is so bad that Matt Moore was a MAJOR upgrade. The Dolphins began to play better as soon as Henne got hurt…no coincidence. He’ll never be anything more than a clipboard-holder.

The Dolphins are QB starved and want no part of Chad Henne. And the Dolphins GM drafted him! Says all you need to know.

If there is another quarterback out there that is a downgrade from Sanchez, Henne is it. The Jets do not need to waste that kind of money on a bum quarterback, they already have one. Draft a project and get a suitable second stringer. If you are down to your second string QB you are toast anyway. On second thought, the Jets are already toast with Sanchez under center, so what other than 4-5 million dollars is the difference?

If you saw my comment yesterday, you know my feelings on this. However, if the Jets use $4-$5 million of their very limited cap space on a guy whose sole job is to push Sanchez, they are pretty dumb. They have way too many holes to waste money in this manner. Sanchez is set to make $14 million this season, and if you add Henne at $5 million, that is $19 million at the QB position without having a quality QB. In contrast, the Saints will pay Brees $14 million with the franchise tag. It’s money not wisely spent, but then again, it’s the Jets. One thing to keep in mind here is that if the Jets cut Sanchez before his salary becomes guaranteed (first week of the season), the Jets stand to save the more money that they would if they stuck with him & cut him next year. For example, if they cut him last year, they would have eaten $3.1 million against the cap; if they cut him this year, they would be saving $9.25 million against the cap; and if they cut him next season, they would only be saving $6 million against the cap. Brining in Henne might just be the end of Sanchez as a Jet regardless of camp competition.

This seems similar to the move Seattle made last year when it signed Tavaris Jackson because of his familiarity with Bevel’s offense in Minnesota. I think Henne and Jackson might have similar upside (not a whole lot) but are suitable short term answers.

I’m sorry, I just don’t get this.

Chad Henne is like the 6′ 4″ version of Mark Sanchez, except he has zero leadership ability, kind of neutralizing things.

Otherwise they’re basically the same quarterback… About 3300 yards, about as many interceptions as touchdowns, never really making you go wow…

Chad Henne is the perfect quarterback if you have a talented team and want to go 8-8.

As a Dolphins fan, it makes me laugh to see people defend Henne. It is amazing once Moore came in, he could get the ball to Marshall and Bush started producing. It is not like Sporano was telling Henne not to throw the ball to Marshall, he just doesn’t have it.

Sanchez had a 102.2 rating vs. Pittsburgh and a 93.3 against Indy. You may be right that the Jets reached the playoffs in spite of him, but by no means is it his fault they lost those games. Hard to win football games when Peyton Manning and Rashard Mendenhall are taking your defense to the woodshed.
