I don't get all the Henson hating going on in the media. Did they forget he was brought in as a project not expected to be Dan Marino in his second year.
I am also not sure, where the idea that Henson was all Jerry's doing unless I missed something reported. BP has clearly been running the show since his arrival, so I would think he was also behind the Henson signing.
Please do not take this the wrong way, I do not mean to offend you.
But Pay attention from now on, when you read about Henson, whether he makes it or fails, hopefully he makes it, so we will not have to start over.
Anyway, I have been saying this for a while now, it was all Jerry, now the truth is coming out.
I have said why would a Hall of Fame coach, go and try the same experiment after terminating the first one(Hutch), think would you do the same failed experiment twice? I know people think there is a difference between Hutch and Henson and there is,bvut it is not what people think it is. the difference is that Henson has played QB all of his youthfull years until he got to college and switched to full time baseball, and Hutch played 1yr of QB in High School, the year before that he played LB. That is the only difference, Oh and that he may be more intelligent than Henson based on the College he got a Scholarship too, but that is debatable.
Both guys are the same in talent and potential, big, strong arm, and can make all the throws.
No one can make me believe that Parcells would repeat that same scenario that he had just terminated with Hutch.
Another thing when the Texans drafted Carr, Jerry called Casserly to inquire about the rights to Henson back then, but at the time the Texans wanted too much for him and Jerry was not willing to do another Joey Galloway trade again, supposedly he had learned from that.
The Texans had a high price for the rights to Henson, he was their insurance incase Carr, failed or panned out. If Carr failed they would have Henson and give him a try or trade his rights for a high draft pick, which is what they ended up doing, and if Carr panned out they would trade Henson's right for a High draft pick, again they succeeded.
If you are the coach, and you have tried to talk your GM/Owner into not making the same mistake twice and he would not listen, what would you do, other than quit the job? You go along with the GM/Owner and try and make the best of the situation until either the player makes it, or you are finally able to make the Owner/GM see his mistake or he see that he once again made the same mistake.
I bet my bottom dollar that BP tried his best to talk Jerry out of signing Henson.
Yes he had dinner with Henson, and yes he spoke with Henson's father, and the Yankees organization, and his college coach, it's called doing your homework, back ground check, to see what kind of person you are hiring, what others thinks, checking references. :bang2:
