Henson Era Over!

[SultanOfSix]

Plus, Favre played only football. He wasn't coming in 3 years after playing another professional sport.

The Favre/Henson comparisons are an apples/oranges thing.

And yet people expect more from Henson.

That's the whole point.

Just because you're 3rd QB doesn't mean you won't develop, especially in Henson's case.

The fact that BP said in his press conference that he doesn't know seems like poor planning to me. Or an ego trip.

Henson may have quit and gone home. The Ticket said his locker was cleaned out. Either he and Parcells got into it and he left and that's why they don't know what they are going to do yet. All they do know is he won't be on the team this year.

If it was a trade he would not have announced it until the actual trade. Like Shanle.

But if after 3 years you haven't appreciably improved from your first year, its starts to get a whole lot murkier.

The biggest joke ontop of the biggest farce there ever was - Drew Henson - he couldn't hit a curveball and he couldn't hold a clipboard - Goodbye. The amount of money this clown has for doing nothing is what's wrong with pro sports these days: getting paid for what you "might do" not for what you do or have done.

LOOK IN THOSE EYES - THEY SAY "I'M GETTING PAID FOR WHAT I MIGHT DO"

It must be bittersweet for you.

The man you don't like is gone, but the man who has made it possible for you to bring attention upon yourself is the same person.

hmmm

I don't know if Farve was #2 or #3 on the Falcons depth chart, but he was drafted with the #2 or #3 pick in the 2nd round the year before and was the first or 2nd QB off the boards. Its not like atlanta made him #3 because they were giving up on him. And i believe that the Pack traded a #2 for him.

Favre was the 6th pick in the second round of the 1991 Draft (33rd over all). He was traded to Green Bay for a 1st round pick in 1992 (19th over all, I believe).

Favre was the 3rd string QB in Atlanta behind Chris Miller and Billy Joe Tolliver.

Yes, I understand. But you have to consider each situation differently.

For example, in Henson's case he was the 2nd QB during his rookie year over Romo. Then he got his mechanics worked on. The coaches probably had good intentions, but if it isn't broke you don't fix it. (The latter is debatable, I know).

Then he lost the training camp battle to Romo. Went to Europe and showed improvement. All reports out of this years camp he was average, but showed good promise in a scrimmage. Also, he started reverting back to his old throwing motion (the one that supposedly got him the accolades in college).

Now, he's not getting any chance whatsoever to show himself in preseason games because Parcells wants to see Romo for 10-12 quarters. This probably has ate at him a little bit. It would do it to any natural competitor.

He had an explosive confrontation with Parcells.

I think what happened was what jbz64 said. He quit out of frustration. Anything other than a trade or this makes absolutely no sense. And I'm beginning to think there is no trade.

What round draft pick did Dallas give Houston for him?

I just think Henson wasn't developing at a pace to Parcells' liking. Three years is a long time to have a developmental guy. A player has to make some progress within that time span. When he reverted back to his old throwing motion after the coaches spent all that time getting him to correct his delivery, the writing was on the wall, IMO.

3rd round pick

 

[CowboysFan02]

So if we dont keep Baker, and dont sign another QB, I guess that would make Patrick Crayton the 3rd/emergency QB.

 

[MadCow]

A man can't even step out for lunch for an hour without the world flippin' out its axis!

Seriously, doesn't Parcells have a theory about projects. If they haven't shown enough after 3 years he usually discards the player. Henson just ran out of time in his development process.

3rd round pick

Funny seeing you over here. Is it late spring yet? (Inside joke)

I think it was time to cut the losses and move on.

No more baseball players. That should be a team rule.

Try hockey.

A 3rd.

Attention? I made a post that is spot on...I'm a Yankees fan - he was brutal with us - I credit him for giving some money back ....I'm a Cowboys fan and all he did was eat up Cap Room and now will cost us 3.4 mill this season - Good! Bye!

If you call yourself a rock collector, and you are still occasionally picking up dog poo, THAT is your problem.

:laugh2:

 

[X-Dawg]

3rd round pick

But you don't like my post?? Get your opinions straight pal...you're all over the joint here - everytime I read your slop ...take time and think about what you wanna say - and most of all try and be like the "X" be consistent.
You'll never catch me double talking - even though I was born on the Double Cross XX Ranch....
Woooooooo!!!!!

I hope this ends our experiment with former baseball players who can somehow become quarterbacks.

For example, in Henson's case he was the 2nd QB during his rookie year over Romo. Then he got his mechanics worked on. The coaches probably had good intentions, but if it isn't broke you don't fix it. (The latter is debatable, I know).

I don't think they would have screwed with his mechanics if his accuracy was where they wanted it to be. We heard several reports that Henson was the least accurate of the 3 QBs, and the one time he played well this camp in the scrimmage, Bill's comment was "he hit what he was throwing at."

I think he came in with accuracy issues (perhaps lingering from his baseball years) and they tried to fix it. Didn't work, so they wen't back to square one.

Then he lost the training camp battle to Romo. Went to Europe and showed improvement. All reports out of this years camp he was average, but showed good promise in a scrimmage. Also, he started reverting back to his old throwing motion (the one that supposedly got him the accolades in college).

Again, Europe was for the benefit of the player, not the coaches. It is not a league for evaluation.

You are playing against scrubs, 90% of whom will never step on a field in a real NFL game. The speed is way lower then the NFL.

That's like taking a NASCAR driver to a go-kart track and noting his "improvement."

Now, he's not getting any chance whatsoever to show himself in preseason games because Parcells wants to see Romo for 10-12 quarters. This probably has ate at him a little bit. It would do it to any natural competitor.

Entirely plausible, and I agree. But if that's the case I don't think his alledged outburst is justified. The team has contract issues that need to be worked out with Romo, and he needs to be on the field. There is no current competition for the 2nd QB spot, it was clearly Romo's before the 1st pre-season game, even more so after it.

If he quit because he thought he was entitled to a shot to compete with a guy who is clearly ahead of him, then I have zero sympathy whatsoever.

That said, I still hope its a trade for his sake and for ours.
