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.
