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."


Jerry: "Oh Al, by the way, send me Andrew Walters in return."

I could dig that.

No one ever got banned for suggesting he'd be waived. Not one person.

Called this and the Romo improvement 1 1/2 ago. I love it when I am right! I am surprised Henson lasted this long. I pointed out that he could not even take a snap properly and that although he had the size and arm, he did not have it upstairs, plus he was just too mechanical. Romo is fluid and confident and I would not necessarily start him now as I believe Drew is a nice QB, but I see great things in the future for Romo and if Bledsoe gtes sacked a lot, Romo will come in like Brady did.

Mosley: Henson never had a chance...


It seems another "quarterback of the future" has left the building. Drew Henson is the latest in what has become a dubious list of talented candidates for the once prestigious job title.
In the end, Bill Parcells said he "just didn't see enough" in Henson, who arrived via trade (third-round pick) in 2004. The truth is that Parcells never wanted him here in the first place.
A few of us have been told that Henson's former boss, Yankees manager Joe Torre, told Parcells not to expect much from his former high-profile third base prospect.
That's why Henson was always a Jerry Jones vehicle. He was enamored with Henson's size (6-5) and mobility.

Jones isn't ready to admit that he made a mistake on Henson, and I'm not sure he did. He said he could see Henson starting for another NFL team someday.

Henson's the poster child for needing a fresh start. He's had his delivery changed, his poise questioned and his success in NFL Europe almost mocked. Some of you will say Parcells gave him a chance against the Bears two years ago on Thanksgiving. I say Parcells gave him a chance to fail. When he made costly mistakes in the first half, Parcells decided to insert a quarterback stumbling toward retirement.

Am I taking up for Henson? Not really, although I do know him pretty well and wish him success. What I'm saying is that Bill Parcells determined that Henson wasn't going to be successful here a long time ago.

He had to let it play out for Jerry's benefit.
I have no clue whether Henson will ever be a starter in this league, but I can tell you the chances of that happening will increase astronomically with another franchise.

Thanks for being with me this afternoon.

I think you banned me for suggesting he would be stinky.

Look people, Romo looks good. He's potentially your future. Not Henson. So, you can use that 3rd QB spot to get either a proven emergency vet....OR, a young guy to groom.

I think its a good situation for Dallas.

From the Western miniseries, "The Sacketts":

Sam Elliott as Tell Sackett, talking to a young gunslinger about Ben Johnson's character, Cap Rountree:

"Don't try ridin' herd over this man, boy. He's fought Indians, grizzly and seen a hundred struttin' peacocks like you get taken down hard."

I didn't ban you, I mooned you. Remember you let out that wolf whistle and they had to throw cold water on you to calm you down.

touche. You're right.

So, I guess my question is.

What MLS player will be your #3 QB this year? ;)

But, but, but Henson has prototypical size, a canon for an arm, rugged good looks, and shares the same name as the creator of the Muppets!

We will rue the day! (Can't believe noone has said that in 16 pages!)

Time for a new back-up QB controversy. The next candidate is ...

I don't get what people think Parcells had to gain in seeing Henson fail here? If he was a good enough QB Bill would have been looking for every opportunity to get him improved to the point where he could start.

Bill obviously never saw Henson perform well enough and now it's been decided by whoever to call it quits.

All the hidden agenda, never wanted to give him a chance talk... it doesn't make sense to me.
