Henson Era Over!

[baj1dallas]

He's 26. Nice agenda.

Maybe he just didn't have as much potential as people thought? I mean he's white, he's 6'4", and he was QB at a big name school. I understand that's enough for a lot of people...but maybe it's not everything?

Lets give a shout out to all those people who were banned by saying this day would come.

You'll never catch me double talking

We have caught you being foolish quite a few times now, though.

At least there's no doublespeak. That would be doubleplusungood.

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.

Man, if Henson did just up and quit out of frustration, that's not a good sign for him or anyone else!

You got to be mentally strong to be a QB. Now, I can understand if he is frustrated, however, if he just quit, that could end up being a wrong move on his part...so, let's just hope that it's not true the he just quit.

Remember the saying, "Winners never quit"...or something to that effect...

It would take alot to frustrate me if I were making a few million to sit and learn a game that I love...so I don't play, but, I get the pay!

You'll never catch me double talking - even though I was born on the Double Cross XX Ranch....

That must be a pig farm.

Do we get to mention that they were banned for being total ****tards - not for saying Henson would be cut?

If so, shout out!

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 have not been here long enough to know what his opinions are.

He walked away from $$$millions in guaranteed Steinbrenner bucks to play football because he couldn't handle failing in baseball.

There is a precedent.

If there is any possible trade I smell Al Davis.

I say this because Parcells just flat out said Henson will not be on the roster, which is throwing his chips in, unless it is a friend involved and they already know they are going to do some favors for eachother.

Both BP and JJ are good friends with Al Davis.

At lunch awhile ago, I was thinking the exact same thing. One way or another, I could see Henson in Oakland.

Jerry: "Al, the kid can play. I know it."

Slow your role happy.

I made an observation that it must be bittersweet for you and I stick with it.

Never said I was a henson or romo lover.

Just don't like people acting like trolls.

I don't need here to be long to read a guy chastise me on my post then make a similiar derogatory post about the same player I did - right? Was that cool? did that make any sense? Maybe he's have been better off - agreeing with the Dawg - Woof Woof.

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

Agreed...3 strikes and hopefully that means it is out.

Yeah, I kinda forgot about that!

Well, I quess we will find out one way or the other...

Oh get off it pal - I'm not Troll - I love this team - I make valid points with an edge - I admitted that I can be negative but that's how I am - I want perfection from us and IMO there's a lot of people here in denial. And that's absurd.
Don't confuse contructive criticism with being a troll.

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.

You'd be surprised how many people think textbook is the way to go. Sometimes it just doesn't work with people.

We also heard last year that he was the best of the three QBs in 7-on-7 drills. I remember JJ saying this specifically. He could have been lying, but I doubt it because it makes no sense.

And 12-15 in a scrimmage doesn't speak well of accuracy issues. Granted, it's one game, but that's a counterpoint.

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."

Normally, I'd agree with you. But, everything was positive as far as I can tell. Also, if the players are worse, they're also worse on both sides of the ball. There is also success at the QB position for those who have played in Europe which has precendent, in Warner and Delhomme.

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.

Who knows why he quit? It's looking more and more like a clash of egos. I think BP's thinking is justified. But, I think Henson's has some justification too. We'll know in a few days I guess.

I commented on your post because you act like a troll...not because you like romo and dislike Henson.

Get your facts straight.

For the record, Henson not being on the roster for the regular season was not exactly a shock to me, I actually made the comment before the pre-season to someone that he would NOT be on the roster but I am not shouting like a troll by tooting my horn about it.

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!

Geesh man, you act like it's your $$ and you paid it out of your checking account.

That $$ was nothing more than an investment to Steinbrenner and Jones. Player contracts and bonuses are just part of their costs for doing business. Expense items on the general ledger. Some investments pay off and some don't. If they don't pay off, they move on with no hard feelings.

The only reason the owner or any fan should be upset at a player for getting the $$ is if they just don't try or they blow it over drugs, etc. Henson did neither. He tried the best he could for as long as he was with both organizations and he always handled himself in a classy manner when dealing with the press and the public.

Your hate for the guy is childish.

Per haps, but I've known Paint, as a poster, for some time. I have never known him to be as you describe him. It is a matter of getting to know the board. I give this as advice to you. How you take it is your affair.

I have no clue what you mean...
