What does everyone here think of him? He seems to kind of fly under the radar when discussions of young and upcoming QB's come up. Usually first round guys like Sanchez, Ryan, and Flacco get all the praise but Henne seems to be keeping up with those guys just fine. What do you think will be his ceiling and will the caste media be ready to crucify him if he flounders for a few games?

Henne is on a relatively short lease in Miami. They know he has a cannon of an arm and the physical tools to be great. The team is still in transition. I think his best days are ahead of him.
He shines if the team shines...Dolphins like to run and pass via 'game management', Yet, the word is that people are impressed even in the Jets loss that Henne was throwing all over the place and completing passes.

Having said that, local media and fans have been spoiled from the days of Marino. They have (imho) unreal expectations from their QBs.
Henne will be great as long as the OL can protect him and he has capable weapons to use.
He is relatively low key and still learning to be a leader at the NFL level.
