Even I don't think he'll be cut this summer. That would be admitting failure too soon, but eventually I do think he will be cut or traded. Ben, I feel is jumping the gun a bit, but I think he is right overall. Guys who played extensively in college and in good programs(see Terreta,Leaf,Mirer,Schuler) struggle early on and sometimes don't make it. We haven't seen anything in Henson yet to indicate he will be any better than those guys. The odds are just not in Henson's favor. It just makes more sense to focus on a qb who's had more experience in the college game, a 3-4 year starter would be nice
You know, I have no problem with anything you've just said. I agree. There are a good 10 guys I could name right now that didn't make it from baseball to football. On the other hand, there are guys I could name that did. I mean, most guys don't make it as an NFL QB, baseball or no.
The talent is there. Who knows about the rest. I just think that it's entirely to early to throw away the investment in this QB, at this point. When/if BP decides that this experiment is over, I'll support that decision and look to who might be next. I am just not as convinced as some that this experiment has run it's course. Henson is a gamble. You might even call him a long shot. Having said that, 50/50 odds pay out 10 bucks. 10/90s pay out big, when they hit. That's why it's called gambling.
I just can't see Parcells keeping a guy on who he feels has no chance to hit. I don't believe that Parcells does things to keep Jerry quit. I think he runs his team the way he runs his team and that's his job. Jerry's job is different. I don't kid myself about who is responsable for what decisions. Henson will be here as long as Bill wants him here. No longer then that.
