    Is Henry a championship caliber RB?

    i have my doubts, and i think the bills would be wise to move him for a draft pick this year and roll the dice on a rookie.

    I liked how Henry was running. The we totally abandoned the run. 12 Rushes in an entire game is not going to win you many.

        If henry got 25+ carries a game, he is a championship RB, he has turned out to be one of the better power runners in the game, are you crazy???

          Henry is def good enough for a championship IMO. If he were consistently getting 20 carries a game, he would be in Pro Bowl contention. Lets not forget that he is still young.
          Its all about the quest.

              Remember Lamar Smith in Miami 2 seasons ago? Is he championship caliber? how about barry foster back in his pittsburgh days..was he championship caliber?

                foster and smith were both old in their break out years...henry is still very young, there is no reason to think he will be a bust, travis henry is not the problem on this team, if every player played as hard as he does...wed have a much better record.

                  TH is with out a doubt a championship running back. The kid has shown me alot this season, and will only improve. The problem is when you stop giving him the ball. Iam still trying to figure that out, the Patriots cant stop the run? So why did we only run the ball like 12 times??????? Coaches, any response???

                    the coaching staff panicked waaay to soon. therefore they abandoned the run. what are they gonna do when its december and we are in green bay or buffalo and its a blizzard...will they try to run then? this was a really bad day to complain about henry, no fumbles, and what about 5 yards a carry. He runs real hard, and has uncanny vision for a 2nd year back.

                      A RB will not look very good if he's not getting carries.....look at Antowain Smith.. The Pats are giving him carries...something Pendry refused to do...and he's performing.

                        I have to totally agree, we need to let Henry pull more weight in the offense - he's shown he can hold more then his own.

                          Yes. I wish he had blazing speed and/or cutback speed, but the answer to your question is yes. Without Drew, or an all-pro level QB, the answer is no.

                            Lamar had a pretty low YPC, Henry does not.

                            Also, Henry is the most outstanding RB in the history of Tenessee.

                            He had nearly 10 TDs coming into today, he can play.

                              I am completely sold on Henry. I love his running style and his effort. We would have to be crazy to get rid of him and "roll the dice on a rookie." Seriously, come on...are you nuts?

                              to answer your question: Yes
