'In a perfect world, Chad Henne starts all 16 games,' says Gus Bradley
The Jaguars plan to sit Blake Bortles and start Chad Henne and they keep reiterating that point. In news that we know isn't knew, the Jacksonville Jaguars would still prefer that veteran quarterback Chad Henne start all 16 games for the 2014 season and Blake Bortles to sit. Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley joined 1010XL on Jaguars Today with Mike Dempsey and John Oehser and said as much, again. HC Gus Bradley said on #JaguarsToday that in a perfect world, Chad Henne would start all 16 games. — Big Cat Country (@BigCatCountry) July 23, 2014 Shockingly, this is a topic that really hasn't...

20 in 20: What happens first -- Bortles starts or Colvin plays?
Continuing today and until the Jaguars report to training camp Thursday, I’ll ask/answer one question per day: 15. What happens first – quarterback Blake Bortles starts a game or cornerback Aaron Colvin plays in a game? Bortles is healthy, but will enter training camp as the No. 2 behind Chad Henne. Barring injury, the only way Bortles gets a start is if the Jaguars get to the second half of the season and begin focusing on 2015. read more

Chad Henne not on hot seat, but he's keeping it warm for Jaguars rookie QB Blake Bortles
His time as the Jaguars’ starting quarterback might last a month, half a season or 16 games. Chad Henne doesn’t know. What Henne does realize he’s keeping the seat warm for Blake Bortles. But until he’s told otherwise by coach Gus Bradley and offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch, Henne is going to talk like a starter (full of confidence), act like a starter (exuding leadership on and off the field) and try and play like a starter (to make the decision to go to Bortles more difficult). read more

ESPN's Ron Jaworski ranks Chad Henne No. 27 quarterback
In the view of ESPN’s Ron Jaworski, Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne has moved up the ladder this year. A year ago, Jaws had Henne ranked No. 29 in his list of starting quarterbacks. The Worldwide Leader revealed Jaws’ bottom six passers today on Twitter and Henne came in at No. 27. The bottom six: 32. Matt Cassel, Minnesota. 31. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Houston. 30. Geno Smith, NY Jets. 29. Jake Locker, Tennessee. 28. EJ Manuel, Buffalo. 27. Henne, Jaguars. This list means Henne is the second-best quarterback in the AFC South.

Chad Henne ranked 2nd best QB in AFC South, but 26th in NFL
In a recent poll with 26 anonymous league insiders, Chad Henne is rated as the second best starting quarterback in the AFC South, but that's not necessarily a good thing. In a recent poll of 26 anonymous NFL "insiders", Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne was rated as the second best starting quarterback in the AFC South. While that sounds all well and good, the bad news is when put up against the other 32 starting quarterbacks, he was ranked 26th overall. Mike Sando of ESPN.com conducted a poll with NFL insiders and was able to split quarterbacks up into four tiers by ranking them...

Bortles to get first-team reps during camp
Jags holding firm that Henne will be the unquestioned starter Jacksonville HC Gus Bradley has maintained all along that incumbent starter Chad Henne will be under center when the Jags open the season at Philadelphia. The second-year head coach told NFL Media's Alex Flanagan on NFL Total Access that the team has gotten behind Henne as the leader. Bradley revealed that rookie Blake Bortles will get first-team reps during training camp so he gets a "feel for that type of environment." If Henne struggles as expected, Bortles might get to experience the real thing sooner than the Jaguars...
