Romo v Henson from BP PC

[Mr Cowboy]

BP talked about how Romo is ready to play alot in the preseason. Didn't mention Henson. Preseason is a test for him.

Let the slinging begin.

HE will go with the depth he has now, but is always looking for upgrades.

don't buy into that.... Parcells likes to keep the media guessing.

and what do you mean has nothing... please explain?

[Mr Cowboy]

The damn phone rang and I didn't get the rest of what BP said.......oh well, I'm sure there will be a full recap.

Henson is falling behind....half an *** behind.....

[DBoys]

Talk about misinterpreting what he said...

Romo has been here longer and his test is this year.

Someone asked if BP does not like Henson and BP says that is not true. They are developing Henson just like they did Romo. Henson will eventually be tested just like Romo is this year.

[Clove]

don't buy into that.... Parcells likes to keep the media guessing.

and what do you mean has nothing... please explain?I watched him last year in pre-season - I watched him in the European league this summer, and I've watched him thru-out several practices in training camp for a couple of years now, and he's wayyyyyyyyyy to average.

We don't need average, we need special. And Henson "Aint" special, IMO.

Henson is falling behind....half an *** behind.....

You are being generous...I think he is falling behind more. :laugh2:

agreed... I listened to the whole PC and I don't get the impression Henson is gone.... we'll see.

Yep, pretty much seems like the gist of it. But also what I can gather from it is that, Romo is pretty much a cinch as No. 2 this year, barring his failure in Pre-season I guess. So Henson pretty much is a chinch as No. 3, barring his failure I guess.

[RCowboyFan]

No, it doesn't seem like it. But it sure seems like there isn't going to be an open competition for No. 2 QB, just like for No. 1.

Then you watched to bring about your own opinion. Anyone who watched him in Europe just to support a player on your favorite team was impressed with what they saw in him.

Henson showed me something in Europe.

First stage is denial.

[Dale]

I'm still enamored by Henson based on what he did in college. But it seems increasingly clear he's not in the running for the backup job, nor is he at Romo's level in Parcells' mind.

[theogt]

Henson showed me something in Europe.Then you watched to bring about your own opinion.

[DBoys]

Don't read too much into it guys it is the 3 year rule.

Time for Romo to prove it or bye bye. Henson has more time.

Personally I just wan't to see Romo play. If he is good then that is great for the team.

[superpunk]

Stop poking sleeping bears.

If you had heard the whole thing is was more about testing Romo, although he had plenty good to say about him. Nothing bad was said about Henson, at all.

[5Stars]

Wouldn't it be a shame if Bledsoe were to go down sometime during the season, and Romo came in and won a SuperBowl! :eek:

Poor Bledsoe...gets shafted...again! :confused:

:star:

[Dale]

Wait, DBoys, I'm confused. Romo is in his fourth year. Henson is in his third.

It would seem to me that Romo has "passed" the three-year rule given that he is still here, while Henson is in the "prove it or bye bye" stage, as you called it.

[DBoys]

Then you watched to bring about your own opinion.

At least be creative...

Back to Henson - At some point in 3 years, don't you need to have a dynamic game or practice, atleast 1?

[DBoys]

Wait, DBoys, I'm confused. Romo is in his fourth year. Henson is in his third.

It would seem to me that Romo has "passed" the three-year rule given that he is still here, while Henson is in the "prove it or bye bye" stage, as you called it.

Yep your right my bad at least on the 3 year rule. Oh yeah Romo has proved a whole lot on the field :lmao:

Don't get me wrong though I want to see Romo play just as I saw Henson in Europe. I will feel better about about giving an opinion.

[Dale]

Well obviously both players still must prove themselves, but one can easily surmise that Romo has proven himself on the practice field to a much greater extent than has Henson given Parcells' public position on the two (and their placement on the depth chart).

But, my original post dealt solely with the three-year rule, and how I couldn't understand how that applied to Henson still having more time while this being a put-up-or-shut-up year for Romo. As I said, if anything, the three-year rule would seem to indicate the opposite.

[DBoys]

Employing the same bad argument to emphasize it's weakness isn't creative?

Are you saying you did not see some improvement in Henson?

[iceberg]

HE will go with the depth he has now, but is always looking for upgrades.

at least when parcells gives these types of answers, i DO believe what he said:


We are always looking for a back-up QB, but we will also go with what we have. If you try to read anything into it you would be wrong, so don't. (but we will!)
Henson is not in that equation, he is independent of that, so we will see with what we have in him too. (no! he's gone i tell you!)
Who said I don't think highly of Henson? That is a misconception on your part. I am trying to create a situation for him to get more exposure (NFLE) and we will evaluate him when the time comes.

so - is henson gone again now?

[theogt]

Are you saying you did not see some improvement in Henson?I saw good things and bad things. All in all it was impossible to tell with that joke of a line he had.

[Alexander]

That’s a misperception on your part. He hasn’t played much football, so we tried to create a situation on him where he gets some more exposure before we put him through his test.

Clear enough?

WE MUST ARGUE THIS!!!!!!!!

[wileedog]

Even if, as seems likely, Romo enters the season as the solid #2, why would they just kick Henson to the curb?

IMO they will keep him until Bledsoe hangs 'em up. Then they will draft another developmental guy behind Henson. If/When *that* guy passes Henson on the depth chart, that will probably be the end of the experiment. Or conversely Henson may have developed enough over that time to challenge Romo for the top spot.

Either way, I don't see a zero sum game here.

I think Henson's situation is unique and quite different from Romo. Jerry talked about this in past interviews.

BP hinted about this being a make or break year for Romo.

[DBoys]

I saw good things and bad things. All in all it was impossible to tell with that joke of a line he had.

I totally agree.

I want both of them to get some playing time and put this discussion to rest.

Or conversely Henson may have developed enough over that time to challenge Romo for the top spot.

Either way, I don't see a zero sum game here.

It's really quite simple. If Parcells and Co. still see potential in Henson, he will be kept around. If they feel he's a lost cause, he will be released (why carry an expensive No. 3 QB you don't like?).

I think the decision hinges entirely around his performance here on out. I don't get the impression Parcells loves Henson as a prospect (it *seems* he is much more enamored by Romo), but that could easily change if Henson improves.

I agree that anyone who suggests they know what will happen is full of Redskins (sounds like a nice substitute for the curse word normally used here, right?). But, I am a little concerned that -- despite Henson's progression in Europe -- he isn't showing enough improvement to signal he is the prospect I once hoped he was.

[RCowboyFan]

I think Henson's situation is unique and quite different from Romo. Jerry talked about this in past interviews.

BP hinted about this being a make or break year for Romo.

Well it is kind of. I mean, make or break with Cowboys anyway. What BP is basically implying, which I thought was pretty clear was, that they have decide on Romo, because they have to make attempts to re-sign him to longer deal before the season is over, if they really think he can be the future at QB for Cowboys long term.

If not, he will leave cowboys in FA in 2007 March. And I hope they make the attempts to resign him if indeed he proves he can be a good one this Pre-season. Although I would be always be skeptical of him till he plays at least few quarters in NFL. As BP mentioned, he has been impulsive player in the past in pre-season. So if he continous to do that this pre-season , then it will not be a good sign for Romo.

So I will be watching for Romo to be much better than what he has been so far with Cowboys this pre-season.

[Dale]

I didn't hear the interview, so I'm relying solely on the recaps here.

But it seems odd to me that he would praise him so much and say how ready he is for competition, only to follow that up by saying this is a "make or break year," as if to say a subpar effort would result in his release.

Just seems odd.

And, again, several of your posts have surrounded around Parcells' direct quotes and how you can't miss him saying Henson still has hope. Yet, when it comes to Romo, it appears -- to me, at least -- that you resort to the sort of interpretation you and others hate when it is applied to Henson.

Odd, again.

[DBoys]

Funny how even given a clear statement like that, this thread is going to hit 10 pages.

Yep :(

I think Nors created all of this.

I really look forward to seing Romo play this year. At least our opinions will be based off of actual playing time and not BP PC's :P

[RCowboyFan]

But, I am a little concerned that -- despite Henson's progression in Europe -- he isn't showing enough improvement to signal he is the prospect I once hoped he was.

I agree, I am concerned that so far he seems like he hasn't shown the improvement that some of us hoped for considering the time well spend in NFLE, regardless of OL there. At least based on the fan reports we have seen.

[Alexander]

We own Henson for the next few years. So there is no pressure to see what you have now.

We need to see what to do with Romo before his contract expires and he goes off to become the next Jake Delhomme somewhere else.

I don't get how the two are intertwined. It's not really a bad thing to have two developmental QBs. It really isn't.

[1fisher]

Spot on. That's probably exactly what Parcells meant when talking about the difference between Romo and Henson's situations. Nice thinking.

[Dale]

I agree, Alexander.

The only reason I think the possibility might exist that one would get axed is if Parcells determines he 'thinks he knows' that one or both simply doesn't have it. Now, I don't think he has made that determination yet. But I definitely think it's possible that a guy like Henson wouldn't be retained for the duration of his contract if Parcells doesn't see a future in him.

[Alexander]

Spot on. That's probably exactly what Parcells meant when talking about the difference between Romo and Henson's situations. Nice thinking.

I think everyone is so used to either/or. I am right, you are wrong.

It is an unfortunate by-product of the post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by the Carter/Hutchison era.

But these two aren't even close to being considered at the same level by the staff and probably never have been. Thing of it this way: two pots, both are still soft clay. One is going in the kiln (Romo). The other is still being shaped (Henson).

Nice idea.

I do think if Romo looks bad, we go after a veteran, which makes puts Henson in jeopardy out of sheer numbers alone.

For the past couple of years, I've never understood the hype about Henson. I can't believe he is still such a hot topic. I think fans over worshiped Henson, because they have been starved for a decent QB since Aikman retired; QB withdrawal syndrome, if you will.

But I agree with you here. He aint special; he never really has been; he's just been the hype that carried Tom Brady's jock strap in college.

The sad thing is, that's all he'll ever be. That, and the guy who Dallas Cowboy fans bowed down to for no reason.

[DBoys]

Odd, again.

Your assuming my comments indicated he would be released and I am not saying that. I am simply saying this is Romo's test to be our #2. He might be a career number 3. Regardess I want to see him on the field.

Your second point is based on me saying Romo is gone if he does poorly.

I am not going to form opinions of Romo until I see him on the field. If he does well we have our number 2 if not we might need to keep looking. It could be that he drops to #3 and Henson is released.

Hard to tell until they get on the field and show us something.

You really are quite astute.

I really am trying to kill you.

[Fletch]

Henson is history. I really rooted for Henson, but the guy just has nothing.

I strongly feel that Romo has a chance to be OUR guy after Bledsoe hangs em up. Just hope we hold on to him.

I too really was pulling for Henson, and I still am. But from the looks of things, Henson is getting caught in the wash and will soon find himself on another roster in a season or two. Just my opinion.

[Doomsday101]

If Romo earns the job then great I have no issue with that at all. As for Henson as long as he is on the team and doing what is asked of him by the coaching staff he will still have a chance to prove himself.

[RCowboyFan]

I am worried about Henson's future with the team

No, actually we should be worried about QB position of Cowboys for the future. Both Henson and Romo, are reminding BP of his previous backup QBs ( Henson - Hostetlier and Romo - Rutledge,Cavanaugh).

I was hoping one of them reminded him of Phil Simms not his backup QBs. Which makes me think, maybe either one of them aren't going to the future here. And which makes me even more scratch my head of Cowboys not trying to draft QB higher when they get a chance.

Hopefully we'll know more before end of this season.

[iceberg]

You really are quite astute.

I know it is a natural tendency to take his comparisons literally, but I don't know if that's the right thing to do.

Who else in his past is Romo going to remind him of?

Simms or Bledsoe?

Testeverde or Lucas?

Hostetler, Glenn Foley or Scott Zolak?

I think he likes Romo's smarts and that was the Rutledge comparison. That and he was a good holder. I don't really believe the comparison was meant as a way he views his future. When he says "I don't know", I believe him.

Of course he doesn't know. Thats why QB position is such a hard position to evaluate. Very few HCs have mastered that art, heck no one really has come to it.

But it didn't take long for BP to compare Ware to LT did it? Its because its easier for him to do that than QB.

It could be BP is doing that on delibrate by not comparing them to any of his previous starting QBs, so as not to pressure on them. Either way, I am not comfortable now anymore with QBs. It could change in Pre-season I guess or in season even.

[Ben_n_austin]

I wish more people would just follow your lead and let it go ... just ... let it go......

Time to move on with Drew Bledsoe!

I mean, c'mon people, he's a legitimate QB; a probable HOFer. We've got one of the best arms in the league throwing to TO, She, Jason Witten, Crayton and Fabini and fans are still evaluating the talent that Drew Henson doesn't have?

Who knows, perhaps he left it behind, wrapped up in Tom Brady's jock stap. Or maybe he just lost his mojo because all he really ever wanted was to be a Yankee; Parcells is just a big 'ol meanie who hate Henson.

Whatever the case may be, it's obvious that Henson isn't/wasn't the prosect some fans thought he would be; and it is quite possible that Tony Romo is more of a prospect than most thought, initially.

Strange how that works, but it looks that's how it's gonna work.

OK, who's next?

Get in line guys. This is fun!

See! Here is another example of a poster who is managing change by changing their tune.

OK, who's next?

Get in line guys. This is fun!

and time can't help you "change your tune"? so you still hold life to be the way you saw it as, say a child?

Tony Romo is being compared to Jeff Rutledge and Matt Cavanaugh. As Shania Twain would say..."That don't impress me much".

All Parcells is trying to figure out is if Romo can be a legitimate back-up NFL QB.

Unfortunately, our future at the QB position is probably not on the roster today.

Nor should it. Nor was it probably intended to.

[Ben_n_austin]

I think Dustin Long may still be available...

He was history last year, but may have perhaps made for a decent candidate if the Cowboys weren't so vested in to Henson.

Who knows ...

It is intersting that you remember Dustin Long. I see this forum consists of knowledgable fans.

I'm not too concerned with the back ups. If push comes to shove, I think we'll saddle up and count on Romo. At least, that's what I'm gathering, thus far, from the "horses mouth" (aka Bill Parcells).

I'm no expert though ...

You never know, Henson may end winning the Super Bowl and going to the Pro Bowl this year, but I doubt it.

I agree.

I just wanted to point that out to those talking about a "Romo bandwagon".

BTW, that was a great analogy you had about the clay pots. :bow:

Time to move on with Drew Bledsoe!

I mean, c'mon people, he's a legitimate QB; a probable HOFer. We've got one of the best arms in the league throwing to TO, She, Jason Witten, Crayton and Fabini

I didn't realize Fabini had moved to WR or TE


As for QB's we will take one in the first couple rounds next years draft. So we will have a starter for when Bledsoe retires

I'm getting a feeling of resistance to the idea of chaning his tune from this forum member.

It's not the same for everybody. People handle it differently.

Of course, when I think Fabini, the term "hybrid" comes to mind.

Sorry. I meant Fasano. Dallas has really turned in to Little Italy, hasn't it?

[ZeroClub]

Parcells sounded like he has some confidence in Romo's ability to perform well.

That's a good thing.

Here's hoping that Romo lives up to it.

[Clove]

so, I guess you scout pro talent? thanks for the insight:DNo! I do what everone on this board does. I watch with my own 20/20 vision, and I make my own personal decisions on what I see.

I could be wrong, and I may be wrong. But for now, that's how I feel about it. All he has to do is make atleast one dominating performance, either in a practice, or in a game of any kind. But I've not seen even 1.

[StarAmongStars]

Romo > Henson

Another gripe from the iceberg poster...he don't like all the Italian guys! :rolleyes:

Funny how even given a clear statement like that, this thread is going to hit 10 pages.

Three pages and counting. Quincy Carter bashing must be right around the corner. :D

I had some a few weeks ago...and my fortune cookie said;

"TO will destroy"

I'm not sure what that means! Oh well...

[RockyMountainFan]

Its rather obvious Romo again is way ahead of Henson And Mroz. Thats all old news and Kudo's to this Nors character and not sure why so much grief on his spot on call on this subject. Maybe the Henson fans are sensitive to reality.

I am more interested in the FS and RT battles.

[skicat1898]

I don't think it is too very obvious, all reports indicate Romo is struggling and has thrown the most INTs. Bledsoe isn't looking great either but that is his history, always starts slow during TC. Reports are that Henson has looked better past two practices, has found his accuracy and is putting more zip on the ball. Mroz,,, still a TC extra arm.
