It hasn’t been the case for a long time, but now with Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon, along with Lewis at TE and MJD when he’s back healthy, Jacksonville can really be a place where a decent QB CAN “flourish”

The Jags aren’t gonna get a first round QB anytime soon.

So the Jags didn’t know until now that Henne threw a better deep ball? Why would you hire a QB and not see if he can sling it? It’s just another case of one being handed the job without regard to actual performance. Nothing against Gabbert, and I hope he does well, but if he can’t open up the field like Henne then the choice should have been clear to the Jags early on.

It was never an issue with his arm but his head…

Good to see him having some success.

He throws the ball to Blackmon. Or CAN throw the ball to Blackmon. Not rocket science.

Say goodbye to the Surfer Dude…

Maybe Gabbert can play TE?

Makes you think. Less pressure in Jax with some hungry players that wanna play, regardless of record.

I have always enjoyed watching Chad Henne play the position. In Miami he really wasn’t provided the opportunity to flourish, I can’t recall who his receivers were.

In Jacksonville, he isn’t being asked to carry the franchise, he’s simply playing the position to his ability and not trying to do too much. I do not believe this will create a quarterback controvery, but, I do believe this will give Henne an opportunity to vie for a starting opportunity in the offseason.

Great job by Henne for making the most of his chance. Best of luck in the future Chad!

Remember a few years ago when Gabbert was at Mizzou and people were saying he was the best QB in college football?

I believe Henne gives them the best chance to win, regardless of the modest strides Gabbert has made over last year’s body of work. This however, is proof positive of what many have said since the draft – you still need a starting QB, which should have been addressed with their first pick.

Gabbert is a Charlie Checkdown.
