Has Henson's Stock Risen in Parcells Eyes? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

devotedfan · 04-24-2005

Sensed some newfound optimism in Parcells voice as he spoke about how hard Henson is working this off-season. 4500 passes? Would be nice if Q. Morgan and R. Williams were the ones on the receiving ends of these to work on those hands. Nevertheless, seems Henson is the 'future' in BMT's plans. Anyone?

Apparently Randal Williams caught 1 of those 4500 passes.

HE TOOK 4500 Rips at curve balls too. Didn't help.

Glad he's practicing in the off season. Thought all back up QB's did that?
Starters usually have to balance it out to last the season.

I dont think anything's changed at all...everyone percieved what happened last yr as "Parcells obviously doesnt like him!" and going overboard, when all along it was exactly what Parcells said it was...he wasnt ready

I was really PO'd Parcells didnt play him the last few games of the season, but he stuck to his guns...said he wouldnt play him if he wasnt ready

Henson is gonna be a good QB...why so many here seem to cheer for him to fail or want to see him replaced with some rag tag like McPherson, Romo etc etc is beyond me...he will look like a vastly different player this yr in TC and preseason

I think youre right. Bledsoe might be the starter by default but should he go down with injury or struggle, Henson might grab it and nevver look back in spite of Parcells short window of success.

I don't see anything wrong with having McPherson and Henson both on the roster. Let them battle it out to see who's the better QB in a couple years and let the loser be a backup. Nothing wrong with having talent at backup, especially when you're not having to pay much for it.

LMAO

Of course, hitting a curve ball is a lot harder than being hit by a blitzing linebacker!

LOL...ok..ok..my bad.. must not have seen the post.

Well put David, Hensen will be fine, he now knows the offense and will be able to react & let his talents out vs having to think to much last year...

I was happy to hear the way Parcells said it..."he's thrown 4500 passes" then he paused, and repeated it with emphasis... "4500"

So, if he doesn't make it, it won't be because of a lack of effort...

Tobal · 04-24-2005

I thought Parcells seemed really happy with Henson

Actually, quite a few people have expressed their Crayton support, but I'm with you. Just about everything he showed last year was positive. We're overdue for a late round find!
