Enough already on this HENSON dude

[Hostile]

Henson was Brady Quinn a few years back if you remember. Of course most of the guys bashing Henson never really watched him in college.

Anyone who actually watched Henson play his Junior year would not be so quick to discount him, and would give quite the benefit of doubt.

Very few QB's have ever accomplished the level of respect that Henson had entering his senior year, like Brady Quinn is now.

I said the same thing during the 2005 season and it went over like a lead balloon. Obviously I agree with you.

See, this GM crap is so easy.

:wink2:

Well I guess we could make the move with New Orleans just to gain their 1st round pick, to offer a combo package of two firsts, to whoever does have the first pick, just in case it isn't the Saints.

Is that a veiled Led Zeppelin reference?
I know that is how they got their name (Keith Moon I believe told Jimmy Page his idea would go over like a led ballon) and look how well that turned out.

I'm would think someone has already posted this...but if not...

UH, hellllllllo? Parcells himself said he has seen improvement in Henson.

Now, that's not a guarantee of anything but I don't recall Parcells saying that about Hutch.

So, I'll take him at his word. Henson is improving.

So is Romo.

At golf.

DREW HENSEN
He just turned 24 years old in mid February and at his recent workout, he displayed a rocket arm that can rank with any player in the game. He tested over 40 in the Wonderlic test given by the Texans this winter. Henson's score is an exceptionally high score and easily ranks in the top 10% of players tested over the past decade.
As a college passer, he possesses every skill necessary to become a top flight NFL starter. Where he is currently on his development at the position is the key question. He has missed three full seasons of play and will have to make fast progress to regain his skills. Since the first week of December '03, he has been working at IMG in Florida with QB guru Larry Keenan who prepped him for his February 12th workout. At the workout, 20 NFL clubs attended and Henson displayed the rocket arm that left pro scouts dazzled by his performance despite it being as limited as it was. He threw 75 passes to an assortment of receivers showing the ability to throw all the patterns in an offense game plan. He is a diligent worker who has a huge frame and the ability to take a hit and fight off tacklers. He is quick in the pocket with the ability to move and pull down the ball and run for good yardage. He can throw on the move and showed fine accuracy in that area as a collegian. He has a powerful arm and the accuracy, timing and touch to make all the throws. He had limited playing experience at Michigan with only one season as a starter and he missed the start of that '00 season with a broken bone in his right foot that cost him the first 4 games. When he returned he established himself as one of the nation's blue chip prospects.

The Numbers: During his final season in '00, he started nine games and threw for 2146 yards on 146 completions of 237 passes for a 61% completion rate including a big effort in the finale. He had 18 TD passes and only 4 interceptions. He completed his college playing career with a huge performance in the Citrus Bowl vs. Auburn where he was almost perfect. He went 15 of 20 passing for 294 yards and 2 TDs and no interceptions. He was extremely accurate in all phases of passing especially the deep ball, which he places in an excellent location for the receiver to make a play on the ball. Over his career, he threw only 7 picks, displaying fine accuracy and decision-making. Earlier in his career, he was a backup to Tom Brady who has gone on to stardom with the Patriots leading them to two Super Bowl titles and MVP awards in both victories.

The Skinny: He will command a lot of attention by clubs this March when the trading period opens on March 3rd. The Texans own his rights after selecting him in the 6th round last spring. IF he does not sign or agree to a trade before the NFL Draft '04 on April 24th, he goes back in the draft again. The Texans have received several offers for Henson with an early round pick on the table currently.In this current draft, he most likely would not go before any of the top three QB prospects and would have to be considered a first round bubble prospect if he reenters this class. He could be the steal of the draft at that point. Terrific prospect with the talent to be an elite NFL starter. Though he is clearly a developmental project at this point after being out of football three seasons, he has the package to make up ground quickly. His ability to step up to a high level during the '00 season with such little playing experience indicated that he is a natural for the position. If, and it is a big if, he had stayed in school and developed further we would be talking about Drew Henson as the top NFL prospect the past three years instead of David Carr, Carson Palmer or Eli Manning. He most likely would have to sit and learn during the '04 season but his fast progress since December indicates he is capable of playing this summer. He is a mature athlete and has all the physical and mental talents to adjust quickly and challenge for a starting job as early as the '05 season. He is a true franchise type passer who got caught between decisions over two sports and his initial decision was an obvious incorrect one. He is still very young and just turned 24 years old and has the time to recoup any lost time due to the career change. He is a passer with the ability to be as good as any starting QB in the NFL in time with the athletic ability and mental skills necessary to become a Pro Bowl performer. Clubs like the Cowboys, Browns, Dolphins, Bills, Steelers and Raiders are interested and would be wise to spend a top 100 selection in either of the next two drafts. Henson is that good and a #2 pick say in the NFL Draft '05 could wind up as the steal of the decade on a player who is capable of being a league MVP winner over his career.

Oh boy, are you ever in for it now.

No, actually the rest of us who are tired of the whole debate that suffer.

I think sometimes this type of commentary is intentional, because you know bashing Drew Henson will create a huge, and incredibly redundant, thread.

"Nice play with those quote marks there Hos, in a fiesty mood aren't ya "

You mean he doesn't have some serious issues? Must just be me with those problems huh? Just messing with you.

Well difference is, I thought or in my opinion,you tend to think someone is bashing you or jumping on you when its not pro towards your post sometimes ( or atleast to me, it seems that way, thats all), other than that, yeah Hos has some serious issues, like being very good at word play

Hey, I never said you have serious mental issues did I?

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Actually if you take the time to read what you just quoted closely he didn't do anything remotely close to what you just accused him of. He called out the other poster. He did not pump himself up to GM quality opinions.

Point of reference, the poster in question is not saying he had a bad game. Bad analogy.

It is simply message board jargon to say someone is anti-________ (fill in the blank) if they bash that player. Been going on for years. Being overly sensitive about it won't change the dynamics.

Once again reading comprehansion fails. He didn't say all of Henson's doubters. He addressed one guy. There's no need to include yourself unless the guilt is overcoming you.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were omnipotent, too, Hos. Go back and read his posts and see how many times he has called someone anti-Henson.

 

[big dog cowboy]

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.

You are probably right. After he returns to the USA we ought to take him out back and shoot him.

This season Henson wins the #2 spot. Romo works on his golf game. Book it!

"Hey, I never said you have serious mental issues did I? "

That is the way I took your comments. If I was out of line, or misinterpreted what you meant I am sorry.




"someone is bashing you or jumping on you when its not pro towards your post sometimes ( or atleast to me, it seems that way, thats all), "

That is why I commented it is too easy to misinterpret what someone really means when they post. Sometimes they are short in their response due to time constraints, and it may come across as they are upset. Or maybe they mean for something to be tongue-in-cheek, yet it seems like they are serious when reading words they have typed VS seeing their body language.

In the end, that is what I think a message board is for, to agree or disagree, it is a public forum for DEBATE. Nothing personal. We are all supposedly bonded by our love for the Boys. There are too many bigger issues in the world than to get wrappped up in "he said she said" on a message board.
Now lets sing Kumbaya and do trust falls.

Did you mean omniscient? As in knows all? Because omnipotent mean all powerful and clearly that doesn't apply here.

You quoted one post, and the stuff you quoted and commented on didn't fit your criteria. Merely pointing that out in a joking manner. Briefs don't get near as wadded up as satin or lace.

True, if you don't include smileys etc. sometimes you don't know if person is joking or not, and I have gotten into trouble few times because of that. I.e jumping on people not knowing that they were only kidding etc.

Now... KUMBAYAAA........

 

[The30YardSlant]

Drew Henson clearly has more talent than Tony Romo, however he has not developed the mental parts of his game. Romo has always appeared more comfortable running the offense than Henson has. Even in Europe, where scrub college talent goes to die, Henson will have a decent week, then a bad week. He has shown little consistancy and frankly, considering he is already 27, he better start developing it soon.

Oh, and nobody cares if he is the Rhein Fire's freaking offensive MVP. That's like winning a gold medal at the special olympics.

 

[RCowboyFan]

Oh, wait....

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything....if not it would have spoiled my key board.

What can I say, start any thread on Henson and...

come out to bash.

 

[acheman]

considering he is already 27, he better start developing it soon.

So the fact that Romo is 27 doesn't matter, simply because he has already developed the mental part of his game right?
