CactusCowboy said:He has had his chances, I see no improvement. He cannot even seperate himself from the better NFLE QB's. I do not dislike the person, just am being realistic. Romo is the backup and this guy from Yale may have a chance to be third string. If we can get anything for Henson I would do it now.
Just because you have the body and skills, it does not always translate into an NFL QB, just ask Mr. Leaf.
CactusCowboy said:Holy crapola, I just logged on and see all of these replies, none of which change my mind. First Drew could not figure out how to take the ball correctly from center, then he was apparently so bad the coaching staff decided to change his delivery, now he is in the NFLE and as I mentioned before cannot even seperate himself from the other teams QB's.
Wake up people, Drew will NEVER be a starting QB for an NFL team unless there are injuries.
You guys keep saying he just needs reps. How many years of reps does he need?
HeavyHitta31 said:What are you talking about? Henson has shown no capacity for development. He throws well one game, then comes out and fumbles the ball, throws INTs, and completes 50% of his passes the next.
As for the preseason, well, I'll let the stats speak for themselves:
http://www.nfl.com/teams/stats/DAL/2005/pre
Drew Henson QB Rating: 44.5
Tony Romo QB Rating: 93.6
That hardly shows a QB who is improving. You can throw out that new throwing motion garbage all you want, the fact is, Tony Romo, an undrafted FA, totally and completely outplayed Drew Henson.

Guy - why are you still talking about this schmuck?
Oh brother. Just when you thought you read it all. Clearly the Cowboy front office doesn't have the same assessment of Henson you do.HeavyHitta31 said:What are you talking about? Henson has shown no capacity for development.

Well, here are the 3-4 defense and the 2TE set. I wouldn't argue with them there.
I imagine that while you spend every living moment of your life pretending to be a football guru/toughguy on the internet, that their probably doing more productive things with their lives.
I dunno though, Hos. Over 20K posts and counting. You could be a Hall of Famer.

I don't know what the ensuing arguments were etc. but let me put this out there if it hasn't already.
If you extrapolate Hensons stats out for the entire NFLE season, his stats would be better than both Kurt Warner's and Brad Johnson's stats when they were over there. Both Warner and Johnson wear Superbowl rings.
Heck if you extrapolate his stats out over a 16 game season his stats would be similar or better than Matt Hasslebecks.
But hey, extrapolate all you want, it doesn't make it so. The only thing that we can go by is that both Parcells and Jones have said that he is improving and they seem pleased. If you argue otherwise, then you are biased or stupid, take your pick.

Loved your fatuous Staubach analogy. "Golly gee, if Roger could do it .... !"

That's the saddest slop I've ever read, and believe me I've read plenty. All you've got is a post count that means nothing? Spare me the lame attempt at witty repartee. It's beyond your synapses.
silverbear said:What's fatuous about responding to a hater who's dismissing Henson out of hand because of his age by pointing out that one of the greatest quarterbacks in Cowboys' history didn't ascend to the starting job until he was kind of old (by NFL standards) his own self??
In fact, it is a LOGICAL argument... your inability to grasp the logic is an indictment of your own stupidity, not an indication that the argument is fatuous...
bbgun said:Oh dear. Did you get tired of boring people to tears on Usenet? I'll just have explain this to you like you're my six-year-old nephew: Staubach's tenure (i.e. a long layoff followed by a HOF career) was very, very special. Almost unheard of. Asking Henson to replicate this feat is like asking for lightning to strike twice, in the same place, at the same time. Staubach was the NFL version of a mega-lottery winner. Yes, statistically, Henson could win the lottery too, but the odds are drastically against him. That's why it was stupid and disingenuous of you to invoke Roger's name. You're imparting false hope.
Have fun guzzling the Henson Kool-Aid.
