What happened to the Chad Henne buzz?

PrintWriting today's "Around The AFC East" post yesterday got me thinking about Chad Henne some more. But it wasn't about his future or how he might be handled this season in terms of getting him experience. Instead, I'm talking about the excitement all Dolphin fans seemed to have for Henne. What happened to it?
I'm not saying fans aren't excited at all. But there was a time when Henne's development was the top storyline of the offseason. But when was the last time we even really mentioned Henne?
Recently, I ran a post asking Dolphin fans what they thought would be the top storyline in training camp in terms of generating buzz. Of the over 1,100 who voted, only 3% voted for Chad Henne's development. That came in 7th place in our poll. Cameron Wake has more "buzz" surrounding him than Henne does - or so it seems.
But if this was last offseason, I bet Henne would have received much more than 3% of the vote. So what's the deal here? Is it that some fans just don't care right now about Henne because we have Chad Pennington fully entrenched to be the '09 starter? Are fans just tired of hearing about the quarterback position?
To be honest, I though Henne's development would have been among the top three most "buzzworthy" camp storylines - especially with the offseason news that Henne would receive a lot of work in the preseason. But, for some reason, an outside linebacker running with the third-team defense is creating more buzz than our backup quarterback and assumed "QB of the future."
It's kind of funny when you think about it, isn't it?

I think it's because we know he's steadily developing,
and he’s not expected to play this season. There’s nothing new to report, is there?

I agree with that...
I think we all know he’s near ready…..and we look forward to seeing what the kid’s got…but CP10 is the starter…and Pat will play more than Henne….so they get more talk.
Im not to high on Wake…I dont think hes gonna be anything more than a special teams standout this year. I think he needs time to develop at this level before we hype him up as a Joey Porter type of player.
I voted JT….im super excited to see what hes got left in the tank….if he is the JT we know….with these coaches…i think our defense could be top 5

Actually, I AM excited about the Henne development...
… just had to pick one in the poll, so I voted Wake.
… define develop… Wake has a very fast first step, is quick, and has talent to get through/around a lineman. You don’t get defensive awards (even in the CFL) without these skills/talents.
… I disagree that Wake will ONLY be a special teams standout… football is not brain surgery… it’s football – tackle – run – etc. My excitement for him is like the late Derrick Thomas of Kansas City fame.

develop = learn like a rookie
CFL = SEC football like level if u ask me…there is a reason those guys arent in the NFL. Lets be real…if your worthy of an NFL spot your SHOULD bitchslap CFL O-Line guys all season long.
He’s got the talent….but Im far from saying hes anything special. Its gonna take more for the “Earth-Wake” to sell me on him being a starter in the NFL.
I see him being a nice special teams stud…a guy thats more talented than all the guys on the cover units…but just not experianced enough to consistanly beat NFL O-Lineman. Then later in the year I think he will make a diffrence here and there….next year would be when i see him really playing at a high level.
Hes 3rd rd pick talent….so thats what i think of him. Great value…low risk high reward.
I personally hope he tears off QB’s heads and craps down theor throats though…..in a classy professional way of course.

I appreciate your view...
… and ya brought me down some… to be cautious on his play.
What you say here:
Then later in the year I think he will make a diffrence here and there….next year would be when i see him really playing at a high level.

I agree with you about our defense.
Not only do we have great linebackers, but I also think our secondary will be “suffocating” by the second half of the season. We are going to be sick!!!
Driver of the Trade-Ronnie-Brown Bandwagon.
I agree
I think people have realized that Chad is the man for this year. We haven’t forgotten about Chad, it’s just that Chad is already the starter, so Chad’s pre-season, while important in development for him and the team, isn’t as critical as some of the other options.

I guess because
Chad Pennington is going to be our starter this year, more focus is on newer players or returned ones such as Jason Taylor. At least that’s why I am not too “excited” about his development this year. If he ends up taking over next year, that for sure will be a big storyline buzz.

Next year he will be all the Buzz
Right now we have Chad Pennington as the starter and Pat White will see time in the Wildcat. So till next year I think (in my mind at least) he’s on the back burner.
BTW I voted for the rookie Dbs.
Boston Dolphins Fan
He's the heir apparent
until that changes, why get excited? However, if something happens to Pennington, that’ll change in the blink of an eye. Then the buzz will depend on how he does. Right?
Can't wait
I am an avid Michigan fan, so I am excited to see Henne in the starting line up sooner than later. However, I know Pennington is there and he is not going anywhere. I have seen a lot of Henne though and next year I would not be suprised if he is a top 5 or 6 QB. Maybe I am a little bias but I don’t care. I also think that with another year under him and the very very young recieving core it will be good to sit out for one more year.
being a Buckeye, I hate Michigan..........
But, I am super excited about the Henne to Ginn deep threat. I hope Big Blue gets back on track as keep our rivalery strong. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t ever want to lose to Michigan, but I’ld like to see them improve, after last year …..UGH !!! They stink……beat by Toledo!!
However, it appear we have common ground here……where you from ………me, Toledo.
I love the Wings …you ??

that topic has been talked about for a while now, and with all the offseason moves and the drafts, there are more new things to talk about.

That's right
That’s exactly what happened. Penny is the guy of the present, and Henne is no longer the undisputed QB of the future. Next year we’ll have some excellent fun with Henne/White in the offseason, as fans of opposing camps curse each other and are backed into wishing the other QB a slow and painful death and/or a trade to the Lions in exchange for a 7th rounder.
Well I am intrested to see how he has progeressed
the thing is QB isnt our main concern this year, which is quite a nice shock.
Current Phinsider Feud Points: 23
Risk / Return
That’s why it is not the main storyline… or hype. I for one know that if I put all my hope and expectation onto Henne, it could get pretty frustrating…
On the other hand: Cameron Wake (only upside), Ronnie having a banner year (better risk return), Ted Ginn improving on top of 2008 (better risk return), our young CBs (appears that at least one will pan out big time)…
Henne = unknown… I think we have had too many frustration on QBs over the past 10 years, and every Fin fan needs a break from frustration at that position.
Tracking the Fins from Rio de Janeiro, the "Cidade Maravilhosa"
I think its because....
for the first time in a lone time, the QB position seems pretty stable…..I think that if Penne goes down, most fans will feel comfortable with Henne stepping in right away and are confident with his progress, thus far….GO FINS!!!!!!!!
Ginn's future just might depend on Henne
Because Ginn was drafted for his speed and CP10 isnt what we’d call longball-worthy.
In order to showcase Ginn’s speed and supposed value, Ginn needs Henne to air it out.
So far in his development, Ginn hasn’t lit it up although I have hopes that third year is the charm.
Wide right again! Another graduate of the Norwood school for problematic kickers.....
Agreed.
We’ll see Ginn tear it up when Henne gets a little garbage time this season.
Driver of the Trade-Ronnie-Brown Bandwagon.
The best possible scenario
Would be if we were several scores ahead and Henne came in to mop up. That would give Teddy something to look forward to. Unfortunately we have a tendency to play close games and even if we WERE ahead by whatever; the mop-up QB is usually put in possession mode to run out the clock….
Anyway..its a pipe dream with our schedule. They’ll most likely all be close.

Nice Post
I’m not sure the Trifecta is as sold on Henne as the rest of us are. They were wiling to let him go when they took Merling at the top of the 2nd rd in last years draft and were lucky to have him fall in their laps with our other 2nd rd pick. Then they signed Pennington and then they drafted Pat White. I still think Henne is our best QB prospect since #13 but if our team has 3 “quality” QB’s, do we really have any?
by crossborderFISHingtrip on Jul 31, 2009 5:21 PM EDT reply actions
ehh, i think theyre sold on him
coach took him around (not quite sure where, matty help?) but i believe to speak with other players of the draft…. ithink lol but i know for sure coach took henne with him, and he wouldnt do that for nothing

as one of the 3%
I certainly understand the importance of having a franchise QB and i guess have said as much (cough, cough) but since most the QB situation was such a disaster for the last 3 or 4 years, many of the myopians are content with a mediocre QB who stabalized the position and as such aren’t looking towards the change nor the possible turmoil that a mid season change in QB will produce….
So lets hope Henne has a great camp and just wins the job right out and MAKES this the story line heading into the season.
can you name 12 QB's better than him?
easily - and if he falls in the 12 – 18 best QB range in the league that makes him a mediocre NFL QB…
on top of that the guy can only make 60%-80% of the throws that an average NFL QB can make.
yes – he plays pretty heady and he does pump his stats by making the safe throw …. but the reality is he’s a middle of the road QB
and not one that a team builds around and expects to win playoff games with….
where as Henne may not be a great QB, but he certainly has the physical tools that great ones posses, so the team has far more upside with Henne playing then the lame ducker.

aren't you asking for this
but i guess we all know where this debate heads with you
I mean seriously – if you are expecting buzz about henne aren’t you really saying – aren’t more people excited about the possible transition from the lame ducker to the possible future starting QB???
and then isn’t that really a BP pitch to me and CT to mention that the offense is ineffective against good team with a weak armed QB and hence we need Henne to start this year more than any other due to the SoS and the quality of defenses that they will play?

I voted CB's for a couple of reasons...
I hate getting burned for long passes & I thought this position was of most importance. I have said mant times around here that I can’t wait for the Henne to Ginn connection, but it’s CP10 job to lose. That fact is for sure. and another thing, we are going to see plenty of Henne this pre-season. If I had 2 votes for the 10 or so choices, Henne would have got the other.

I think it's a positive
It’s nice to not be talking about the QB spot. When you hear CH talk you feel like your listening to a seasoned vet. (Thanks CP) So It’s kind of nice to be able to take for granted this guy will be ready when his number is called.
Well, I guess it's because...
… most of us know that Tuna loves his experienced QB’s so unless CP10 goes down injured Henne will be riding splinters until his contract expires or he gets traded.
C'mon over to Shady's world, MiamiDolphins.co.uk
well and i think they finnaly realize that for now this is the chad p. show and untill chad gives us reason or he goes down to injury or that this MAY be his last year here.. that henne will be second qb and i think he knowns that and is ok with it.
common sence says if you put a stick in it and stirr if it stinks.. stop.. toss the stick and just walk away.
We are waiting
We know that Pennington is starting this year . The buzz has settled for now but will be a different story come this time next season. Cant wait
your wait will
likely be sooner then you think…
the best time to get henne in with this horrific schedule is around the fourth game….
and since the early defenses are going to look an awful lot like b-mores and not very much like houstons
i don’t expect a lot of success from the lame ducker…
by W NY Fins Fan on Jul 31, 2009 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions
why wont CP10 be successful?
bc of his inconsistency on the jets? the jets arent miami, and the NY crowd was always rough on him, but in miami he found his spot on this team. its his second full year, as well as jake longs, and we got grove at center. I see 3 improvements right there that will affect penningtons performances this year.
yeah, we have a tougher schedule. but yeah, we’re a good team and we made improvements ourselves. most importantly, we have confidence and something to believe in (coaches, leaders…)

honestly
because he doesn’t have a strong enough arm to make the throws that keep good to great defenses from overplaying the run or bringing extra pressure….
why was pittsburgh able to move the ball against bmore all three times they played last year and miami struggled both times?
QB… primarily. big ben is a better QB – he can throw deep balls AND outs, so ed reed couldnt’ abandon his cover guy once he was 15 yards down the field and rove all over the place.
by W NY Fins Fan on Aug 1, 2009 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions
so bc he doesnt have a strong arm he wont be successful? again, he was pretty successful last year with the same arm
the teams we play are tougher, but theyre not all baltimores.

I hope hes good….but stop hating on CP10 or ill tape u to a barstool….put u in my time machine….and make u watch AJ Feely highlights for all eternity so u can see what a hard throwing hyped QB could be.
Seriously…what have we seen? ARZ garbage drive…a good series in preseason vs. UPS drivers…..CP10? ph just a division title…runner up MVP…comeback player of the yr…and very low turnover rate.

i use him as a comparison point
if you look at pitts offense and miami’s … pittsburgh beats baltimore 3x last year and has no problem moving the ball and scoring on them….
well what is the difference between the 2 teams… lets see miami has 8 postions (well maybe 7 but RG stunk for both teams)
where the pittsburgh starter doesn’t see the field… the 3 positions QB & WR…
so maybe the QB postion has something to do with a team going to the superbowl or heck winning playoff games…
and when someone shows me some stats that the lame ducker does well in the playoffs or heck against quality defenses
over his career, then i’ll be a little more optimistic about the fins season.
as to Henne – i agree – he isn’t anyone right now but a 2nd round pick who the team thinks might be a NFL starter…
All i know is that he can make throws that the lame ducker can’t and it’s the type of throw that super bowl winning QB’s make frequently in the clutch in playoff games in poor weather…. so i’d much rather find out now if we have a qb that can win three playoff games in a season or if the franchise needs to continue looking for a successor to #13.

Sorry W NY. I was out of touch all yesterday
Looks like you could have used some help! LOL.
You know I’m with you on this topic.
Don't worry about it
matty was looking for something to get the mediocre loving myopians and he figured he’d throw some bait out there for those of us who want a playoff quality QB…
and i took the bait.

noooooo…it started out as an innocent question. I just wanted to get some thoughts on this.
Speaking of innocent questions, here’s one for you that I have. Do you root for Pennington to succeed or are you hoping he fails quickly this year so Henne can replace him?
And don’t take this the wrong way, i’m just really curious.
i really root for the team
i’m not that much of a fantasy guy….
so ideally – i’m rooting for henne to rock the preseason and the lame ducker quietly holds the clipboard
on the side for game 1….
plus when push comes the shove the lame ducker really is a jet and you all can hide that but deep down you know you all are sleeping with the enemy…. J-E-T-S….. granted he’s more of 727 than a SST… but a jet none the less.

Henne should start right now.
personally I hope pennington throws 6 interceptions a game but we win.
I believe in John Beck and that Cbdolphin is the man. I'll make you proud LCFF

Do u think if chad has another good season he will start next season? maybe if the team has a good year. But it also makes sence to put Henne in soon while the team is young.
I'm so gassed up over this year I can't remember who I picked!
Chad H in the wings is more like (I hope) an ace up our fins to be pulled when we gotta.

by W NY Fins Fan on Aug 1, 2009 12:02 AM EDT up reply actions
I didn't vote for Henne
because his development isn’t necessary for our team to do well this year. As long as Chad is the man, Henne will be allowed to learn and develop without the pressure of the media spotlight… Which is a great thing IMO
Not The Future
I think the buzz is down because there has been nothing great coming out of any of the newspapers about him. “Missed high, Missed low, strong throw but missed…” …..“next up was Henne and things didn’t get much better”…..all those kind of lines from the papers probably haven’t helped.
I know he’s young, but frankly there was more of a positive buzz about David Woodley (I remember it well) as a new kid in training camp than there has been for Henne. I hope he proves everyone wrong.

so who really the jets fan here
the guy who wants the big strong armed QB drafted by the dolphins or the guy who wants the duck armed ny jet qb with a 500 record and who cant win playoff games or beat good defenses…..
forgive me for saying this but it’s pretty clear to me anyone who thinks the lame ducker is a good qb is really a jets fan because they want to see the dolphins stuck at mediocre….

after a 1-15 season to a division title, i think thats remarkable
no one had thought of superbowl two years before that… plus anyway, if we put henne in now, we would be rebuilding more instead of letting pennington get used to his second year with the offense.
therefore, putting in henne now would get us further away from superbowl bc he’d have to go thru everything for the first time.. this “lame ducker” has experience
