Carrying an offense to at least seven wins rarely gets you to the playoffs (unless you are the Seattle Seahawks). I agree that Gabbert needs to start hitting 60% of his throws. But if he doesn't then he won't be a career backup, he'll be out of the league. Which is why Henne at about 60% will be a backup. He does not provide the spark that an offense needs. He is a game manager who can make throws and move the chains, but he is not a lightning rod of playmaking ability. Gabbert isn't there yet, but with a full season of starting in his sophomore year, the Jags hope that he will be there. His arm is big (as is Henne's) but he is the future of the franchise, so he is more likely to be on the field for the season. They are entitled to their opinion and I am entitled to mine.

Henne has shown he can carry an offence to at least seven wins. Give him a running game and he'd be a playoff QB now. Gabbert is more than likely the one who will be a career backup unless he can start hitting 60% of his throws, learns how to take a hit, gets better mechanics and better decision making.
