I don't think so. You can expect Henne to make the same kind of mistakes John made his Rookie year and then some. John is a much more polished passer. The only thing Chad has on John is size (and not much). John has everything else.

I fail to see how playing with a familiar QB helps a lineman play better. It seems like you either block your man or you don't. You never see who's behind you or what he's doing so what's the diff? Maybe playing with fellow OL.

John is basically in the driver seat here. He's been in the system the longest (even if that system has changed), he's got the support of most if not all of his teammates (or those that are left), and it's not lost on the organization how hard he works. I would expect to see their faith in him strengthened as the offseason and camps start up. This is the NFL, they're not going to not play the best QB they have on roster. If that's not John come opening day, then it's nobody's fault but his own.

I disagree. I see this as a bad sign for Beck. Henne will be a good pro QB. No matter how much potential he has, that a team with so many holes decided to take a QB with their 4th pick is a vote of no-confidence for Beck. Rebuilding with a young QB you figure that a couple of FA veteran QB's can come it to mentor your future QB. You make the position a battle and the team grows together as all the positions come together. However, the other positions are the most important. You focus on shoring up both lines before drafting more QB's.

I think that John's 7 fumbles last year left everybody thinking he's not NFL material.

This guy thinks Parcells has confidence in JB and is just getting another backup... I tend to agree.

I guess my main question is, with all the needs and gaps that Miami had, why use a 2nd round pick on a QB; especially if you only want him to push Beck?

Good news would have been a guard, backup rb, receiver , etc. Drafting Henne is not good news. It's also not the end of the world, but that was a valuable pick they used just to have a 3rd string qb.

I agree that Henne was a value pick at that spot (but that's only because I like him as a Q. But I find it hard to interpret as a vote of confidence for John Beck. I think the team could be improved more by filling line holes or a WR, or a DB, or well, anything. Either that or Parcells believes the QB is just as much of a weakness. Which it probably is.
