Henson Era Over!

JackMagist said:
I firmly believe that Bill meant what he said at the time. I have a feeling that something went on behind the scenes last night to change his mind. The way he said that "Henson will not be on our 53 man roster" made me think he wanted to add "come hell or high water". This is not a conspiracy theory per se, I just think that the way it all came down and the way it was reported was a little strange. I suspect...and this is ONLY as suspicion...that Henson and Parcells had a confrontation of some sort after practice yesterday and caused this to escalate.

It could have been a Hutchinson/Parcells type of meeting that set this off, I have a feeling that it was something behind the scenes too and that we will probably find out something soon.

I'm right there with you. Once I heard it was not a trade, I instantly thought confrontation - Henson asked what his role is. Unless Jamaica Rector is that ****** good, the move is a little puzzling otherwise. Wait for more to come out, it would seem.
 
I still think Henson got shafted.
As a former Michigan resident i saw the man play and impress.
I wish him luck and I'll root for him.

After Quincy and Hutch, we should be *friggin exstatic* that Jerry is deferring to Bill on picking a QB.

Huh? Henson wasn't just a JJ decision. He was also a BP's decision, on the input of Ron Wolfe. You do realize 12 teams were very interested in his services, don't you?

I'm sorry, but this decision to can Henson has BP's fingerprints all over it. And I really don't think it's for the right reasons.

Okay, let me get this. Getting DH was both JJ and BP's decision, but getting rid of him was all Parcells? Sure it was, pal, sure it was. Rough day for you, I understand.

I was being facetious, but....

I agree wholeheartedly that Bill was on board with signing him.

I also think there was no "personal agenda" in cutting him. That Bill didn't 'set him up to fail', that if Parcells had his wish Henson would be a QB on par with Romor or Bledsoe right now and he had a difficult decision to make.

Everyone, including the media, starting with the "Bill's guy" vs. "Jerry's guy" is just being assinine IMO.

Fact is Bill gave him 3 years. He didn't improve, he didn't have what Bill wants in a QB, Bill cut his losses. That's what he does.

Time will tell if he's right, but look at Bill's career. While he has certainly missed on plenty of draft picks and FAs', how many guys has Bill let go who turned into superstars on other teams?

Do the math.
 
Sounds like Bill should put on a "big bad wolf" mask, and Henson a "red riding hood" with the way some of you make this out to be. :rolleyes:
 
Good luck Drew. You were very professional and patient. Sometimes the nice guys get the short end. If you're as talented as you believe you are, you should have a chance elsewhere.

Wow. You actually read and comprehended what I wrote. Good for you!

Yes, getting him was both of their decisions, as they both have stated it was, and their actions have verified.

And yes, getting rid of him was Parcells decision. His words as well as actions make me believe it to be so.

Honestly, I don't even think you're a Cowboys fan.

I see, so who ever makes personnel decisions for the Cowboys varies by your mood? It has nothing to do with the fact that has been repeated over, over and over again that both Parcells and Jones are on the same page when they make decisions? Why does Jones get out of this without a scathe? He has the final say on personel, he hasnt even said a damned thing since Chutch v. 2.0 was cut. I dont think you are a Cowboy fan either judging by your blind aliegance to a never was of a player.

What I don't understand is why this is considered a bad thing?

Bill decided he wasn't NFL material. At what point is this Bill's fault and not Drew Henson's fault?

Wow. Did you even pay attention to what JJ said during the conversation he had in the booth on Monday Night. Probably not because you're not really a 'Boys fan and weren't watching the game. That are you also suffer from listening problems in addition to reading comprehension problems.

That's because the only people who know the answer are not likely speak it publicly.

Whatever you say, keep your head up, kid. Its only a third string QB.
 
When somebody says they're not at liberty to discuss something that usually means instructions by the organization. Whatever transpired is being dealt w/ internally.
