You're probably on to something here. Whatever it is, Henson's slow drop into the pocket is very noticeable, and very damaging. But the time he gets set, he already has to step up to make his throw. No wonder he is getting poor results. If a professional quarterbacks coach can't diagnose this problem, the coach should be fired. Although Romo's results on Monday night were not much better than Henson's, Romo looked technically much more sound than Henson, more confident and relaxed, and more like a leader in and out of the huddle. Romo will definitely be the backup this year. Henson's only hope is to get sent to NFLEL next spring, let him get some playing time (if he could win a starting job - which would not be guaranteed at this point given the lack of polish he displays), and then come back in the summer of 2006 and compete for a job again.
