Not alot of rookies come into the league, even if they have 4 years of college ball at a top level program and excell in this league.


[View Full Quote]You cant be serious......are you actually implying that Henson excelled last year? And do you really think that what he showed us in that Thanksgiving Day game can really be called football? Look, I give the kids respect for having the heart to comeback and try to play, but he has shown us nothing that would lead a sensible person to believe that he is capable of being the back-bone of an NFL franchise, especially one with such prestige as the one we hold dear to our hearts. I think it is an open race between Romo and Henson, and I think either of them could take the #2 spot this year. As far as next year, come on people, this year hasnt even started. Who cares about next year, when we still have issues to work out for this season? I say let it ride. All these guys who get wood at the thought of Henson starting need to calm down, because he hasnt done anything to deserve that kind of credit, hell, he only started like 8 or 9 games since high school.........how can you sensibly hang your hopes on this guy? Dont get me wrong I'm not Drew bashing, I am just trying to look at this realistically. If Drew gets the job and does great, I'll support him as much as anybody, but until he show me something that indicates he can do that, I'll tear him apart.

I see nothing wrong with fans who have high hope for Henson nor do I see anything wrong with fans having high hope for Romo. I just see no need to bash either guy. As far as Henson playing poorly aginst the Bears in his 1st start, so what Aikman looked pretty dog gone bad his 1st start aginst the Saints. Really don't think anyone can take too much out of the Bears game one way or the other it is just not an uncommon for a QB to stink it up in his 1st NFL start.

I see this at a simple level. I think Parcells sees a QB as someone who meshes with the supporting cast well. All the QB has to do is hit Witten, Glenn and Key on the designed plays, hand the ball off to JJ, and make the appropriate audibles and reads a NFL QB should be able to do without making too many mistakes.

Right now Bledsoe is the guy to do that best. He likes Bledsoe on a personal level I'm as certain as a person on the outside could be, but he's not married to him.

Henson looks like someone who can do the job at some point in time. Romo might be able to do the same.

It's a mistake to have an agenda for a person at QB on this team (or any other position for long) IMO. I'm not saying not to root for your favorite. But I wouldn't get married to anyone on the team. Injuries, cap figures, and/or failing abilities catch up to everyone eventually.

If Henson can step up hurrah. Same with Romo. Why not have two very talented backups to a talented starter at the QB level. What a problem to have!

And why root against the present king. Root for him until he fails. If it gets bad enough then it'll be the king is dead long live the king.

Knights come an go within the kingdom. Kingdoms rise and fall. Only the NFL continues (for the present age).
