At least Henne's not Sanchez....

[EKnight]

In the wake of JT's comments about Sanchez not having as much talent as Henne, and for all the Henne haters, after last night's performance, I would STILL take Henne over Sanchez, who was the best player Baltimore had, being personally responsible for 21 of their points. Glad I got SOME enjoyment out of my football Sunday. -EK

No, Sanchez is not a good quarterback, but he is being given a chance on a decent team. With stability around him, he definitely has the core talent to develop into a very good quarterback. Given time.

I think they're about the same caliber. Each guy has their pros and their cons. They're about in the same tier of QBs - the only difference being that the Jets defense is far, vastly superior to the Dolphins defense and has taken Sanchez further than Henne has gotten.

So why can Sanchez play his best ball of the season on the road in the playoffs?  Must be all that lack of talent.
Henne will never get a chance to QB a team in the playoffs (unless the starter gets hurt) so I chose a bad comparison.

I certainly have no love for Sanchez, but I think it's quite apparent who the better QB is.  Sanchez had a bad night against a damn good defense.  Henne has a couple of games like that a season against far less superior foes.

Taylor is by far my favorite player on this Dolphin team, but he's just trying to talk up his QB.  He doesn't really believe that.

At least we aren't tied to a high first round pick that had to be traded up for who is performing at the same level as a second rounder who is on his way out the door.

Sorry, but when has Henne EVER accounted for 21 points for the opposition, let alone a couple times a year. Hyperbole much? -EK

Jets are overrated, as is Sanchez.  At this point (and its early)...no one from the AFC can dance with the Packers.

Sanchez is a better QB. He isn't a great QB, but he has 4 road playoff wins in which he played a large part in.

Henne sucks. Sanchez is OK. But Sanchez is a better player than Henne.

Ugh...why do people keep saying this garbage? 5 TDs vs. 3 INTs is hardly something to get excited over. Less than 200 yards in each of those starts, and an anemic 100 yards in one of them. Hardly a "large part" of the wins. -EK

I'm so sick of hearing about Sanchez' road playoff wins.  He has the road wins becuase the Jets, and Sanchez, aren't good enough to get a home field advantage.  Miami won on the road alot last year, that doesn't make them anything special.

[bsmooth]

And they backed into the playoffs.

I was actually referencing the amount of turnovers.  3 or more.  Henne has had more than his fair share of those.  He's been such a turnover machine that on a good day he only has 1.  How many straight games has he played with at least 1 turnover?  17, I think.  And he only played in about 8 plays this week and still managed to throw a really bad INT. 

I don't want to support Sanchez on this site.  He certainly likes to turn the ball over at times also, but he's not addicted to the turnover like Henne.

Dolphins as a franchise have 1 road playoff win since 1974. Sanchez has 4 in 2 years. They are very rare and he has 4 under his belt. You can't blame him for losses and give him no credit for wins. Not fair. Im not saying the guy is great, he isn't. But he is light years better than Henne. That isn't even up for debate! Sanchez is a quality NFL QB!

[EKnight]

How is he "light years" better than Henne? I just don't get this argument. He has a career QB rating LOWER than Chad. His completion % is lower; his TD-INT ratio is almost exactly the same, and this year he has been a turnover machine. How is that "light years better?" He has been the beneficiary of a great defense and running game. Period. -EK

Sanchez doesn't consistently make plays that LOSES his team games. Henne does. Henne did it down the stretch last year when he lost us games at home vs Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo. Henne's play in thsoe games was the reason the Fins lost. And those are just 3 examples. Henne's inability to convert in the redzone last week vs Cleveland, why Miami lost.

And in big spots Sanchez rises to the ocassion. Henne has NEVER risen to any occasion. Big spot or small spot. Sanchez had a playoff game where he had only 3 in-completions for the entire game. 3!!Last year AT New England in the playoffs Sanchez threw 3 TOUCHDOWNS!! When was the last time Henne led 3 touchdown drives let alone 3 big touchdown passes in one game.

This argument is silly. Sanchez is a young franchise QB to build around. Henne will be holding a clipboard and wearing a baseball cap next year backing up in Minnesota or Cleveland or someplace like that.
