Right.

I wouldn't go out and put all my eggs in the Henne basket, but the Chargers didn't exactly put all their eggs in Brees' basket when they drafted Rivers high in the draft in 2004.

Chad Henne is not the best quarterback in free agency, but he's better than Flynn and he's the best "rest of career" bet in free agency. If you're going to give a deal longer than three years to any QB in this free agent class, he's the one you should give it to.

He's also a really good fit for our offense, but that doesn't even seem to matter to people anymore.

I thought Henne was really turning a corner this year before he getting injured. For all the reasons you cite, I would take him in a heartbeat over Sexy Rexy as a stop-gap starter, long-term back up.
