Henson-Its time to go

[iceberg]

Only if you make 6 figures a year.

um...that would be a "no". not all those who make 6+ figures for their income are dishonest in their dealings.

 

[DeaconMoss]

six figures doen't mean you can spell or write

Just ask Dexter Manley

Romo, has limited ability. So even if he became the starter, there will be some limitations he has to overcome.

so what are you basing this on? I agree Romo hasn't thrown a regular season pass, but apparently BP thinks he has more going for him than Henson does, hence the 2nd QB slot.

Do you guys really think that Romo would turn down going to NFLE if Jerrah and BP told him they want him to go? That's one way to get in BP's doghouse and I don't think that is something Romo wants to do. Maybe he isn't as tall as Henson or have the arm strength, but then again, I'm sure Joe Montana would draw the same comparisons if he were in Romo's situation.

We all have our favorite guy. Some see that Henson showed improvement while in NFLE, and others see the Romo who, against better competition than Henson saw in NFLE, showed composure and pocket presence.

They both have attributes that could potentially make them both quality starters at some point. I'm with the group that thinks Romo is closer. Does that mean I hope Henson fails? Of course not. I hope the light comes on and he starts to light it up, making it hard for BP and Jerrah to keep him out of the lineup – that won't happen until Bledsoe is gone.

WE're not going to pack up and move on if Henson is named the starter at some point. Like every other Cowboys QB – even Tony Banks for a short time – I will cheer for him when he does well and curse him when he makes bonehead plays. That's the way of the fan.

I doubt he can count to 6

 

[Hostile]

I doubt he can count to 6

I'll tell you what he can't count to is 100.

I practically begged the guy not to bet me. He wanted to double the bet and I said no. I felt that bad about it. EveryoneElse and CowboyChris can confirm this.

He has no one to blame but himself.

Makes 6 figures per year and can't pay off a c-note until he collects on other bets?

I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

I guess technically any amount under $9999.99 per anum is six figures.

You know, I'm really looking forward to my two free tickets the Skins/Cowboys game in 2011 at the new, state of the art stadium Jerry has planned.

Don't count your chickens just yet. I got a feeling 2006 isn't going to be a picnic.

 

[RiggoForever]

Don't count your chickens just yet. I got a feeling 2006 isn't going to be a picnic.

In all honesty I know it won't be. I just hope its not like 89-91 where each team won at the others venue. Then even a split would truly bum me because I wouldn't get my free tickets to Dallas!

Things can snowball quickly on the road against a good team (as we found out against the Giants last year). I don't consider any NFC East games easy and I can't say anything for sure other then I think winning at home in the division will be crucial next year for any team that considers itself a contender.

 

[Lifetimeboyzfan]

I told you then what I will tell you now. Owe money in Vegas and tell them you'll pay them off when you collect on some other bets.

When you owe a man money from a bet, you owe him when you lose the bet. Not when you collect on other bets. A man who makes 6 figures a year shouldn't welch. .

I have to say, Hos deffinately has a point here. This would go over about like a turd in the punch bowl here in Vegas. Depending on who someone owed, one could find one's self in a pre dug hole in the desert.

So are you prepared to see Henson take the field with the playoffs on the line or do you want a vet backup?

I am. He or Romo should have seen the field after we were eliminated the last two years. I do not believe we will ever win a SB with Bledoe at QB, so the sooner we get Henson or Romo on the field the sooner we will know. Neither of them get a whole lot out of carrying a clipboard on the sidelines. As far as I am concerned we wasted two years on geriatric QB's when we could have been giving Henson or Romo the experince they need. We certainly didn't accomplish much with Testaverde or Bledsoe the last two years. Henson or Romo may or may not be the QB to lead us back to the promised land but we will not find out until they PLAY. I for one believe Henson has a good shot of being the guy. As for Romo, I like the guy, but I just don't see him being our QB of the future.

By actually watching him play unlike it seems like you never did with Henson from my understanding of what you posted so far. His arm strength is adequate at best. Second, last year Romo was 2nd and it took BP till last game to make that decision. Even then, during break time, he said he had to talk with Romo about staying sharp, when asked about how the Romo was doing. That doesn't sound exactly like something I want out of a backup QB

Do you guys really think that Romo would turn down going to NFLE if Jerrah and BP told him they want him to go? That's one way to get in BP's doghouse and I don't think that is something Romo wants to do. Maybe he isn't as tall as Henson or have the arm strength, but then again, I'm sure Joe Montana would draw the same comparisons if he were in Romo's situation.

Yes he did since he said he was approached about going to NFLE europe after 2004 season and didn't seem thrilled about going. I think it was later reported he wasn't kneen on going there. Then recent interview, which I recapped on ESPN 103.3 he empatically said, when asked if he would go if he was approached about or rather would he go to NFLE more like, he said he doesn't need to. And Joe was good 2-3 inches taller than Romo. If Romo is six feet, then Brian Westbrook is 5' 10" too. But I will agree, Romo might be best suited for WCO. I think he might excel in that system vs a vertical system. I do like Romo better than Drew Bledsoe though.

Second thing, from my understanding, you cannot force him to go there and Cowboys wouldn't if he was reluctant to.

We all have our favorite guy. Some see that Henson showed improvement while in NFLE, and others see the Romo who, against better competition than Henson saw in NFLE, showed composure and pocket presence.

They both have attributes that could potentially make them both quality starters at some point. I'm with the group that thinks Romo is closer. Does that mean I hope Henson fails? Of course not. I hope the light comes on and he starts to light it up, making it hard for BP and Jerrah to keep him out of the lineup – that won't happen until Bledsoe is gone.

You cannot comment on Henson improvement or lack of, if you admit already that you haven't seen him play. How can you even say that? Unless you are going of stats or going of seeing Theebs posted videos?

As far as both of them being quality starters? I hope so too. Till NFL E, I was bit skeptical myself about Henson, even though I have seen every game Henson played in College, since he hasn't shown the abliity he showed in College, till now in NFLE. In fact he showed me, more than he ever showed in College, IMO or at least what I remember from college IMO. And one of his best attributes, the Deep ball, is back to where it was in College, from 3rd game to well till the injury anyway.

And I do agree with you, Bledsoe is starter no matter what, unless he is injured this year. I think BP will make sure of that. And I kind of agree with BP in this case, since with TO etc., it will be hard to go with New starter.

WE're not going to pack up and move on if Henson is named the starter at some point. Like every other Cowboys QB – even Tony Banks for a short time – I will cheer for him when he does well and curse him when he makes bonehead plays. That's the way of the fan.

Who asked you to pick and move on? Its not about liking Henson despite his failure, like some minority of Quincy Fans do. Its about the Hope he gives, if he succeeds. And if Romo does that instead, I will be happy too. I don't really care. Whoever gets Cowboys another SB will win me over and any other Cowboys fan for that matter in most cases. In my case, even Drew Bledsoe will get accolades if he does win a SB for cowboys.

 

[Lifetimeboyzfan]

Yeah, Bledsoe sure is a bum... I mean, what has he ever done in the NFL?

What are you babbling about now? Assuming this post is about me saying I am not a big fan of Bledsoe? If not, never mind then.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Apparantly Yeagermeister didn't pay as close attention to preseason last year as The Answer did. The Italian Stallion outplayed the golden boy in every facet of the game. Romo showed leadership, savvy, and a beautiful deep ball during preseason. Henson showed nothing, also I believe that Romo had a QB rating in the 80's playing against starters and 2nd string, while Henson's was somewhere in the 40's, playing against 3rd string and practice squad i.e. better than NFLE talent...not that I care about that stat much myself but it is somewhat telling of their respective abilities, or lack there of.

that was last year

Romo is #2 in ability, whether you want to admit it or not.

~The Answer

Henson and Romo will be competing again for the backup job, notice it's not called Romo's job? just like it wasn't called Henson's job 2 years ago

 

[Lifetimeboyzfan]

The only babbling I see is by some monkey that likes Tony friggin Romo as a QB better than Drew Bledsoe. Try to remove your personal bias and think... How many yards has Romo thrown for in the NFL, and how many has Bledsoe thrown for.. Don't mind me though, just babbling..

what 2nd QB slot does Romo have again? he's going to be competing for it again

Do you guys really think that Romo would turn down going to NFLE if Jerrah and BP told him they want him to go?

all the reports out of VR are indicating that was what happened

WE're not going to pack up and move on if Henson is named the starter at some point. Like every other Cowboys QB – even Tony Banks for a short time – I will cheer for him when he does well and curse him when he makes bonehead plays. That's the way of the fan.

I applaud you for that

Really...Because I pretty Sure that no player in History has ever beat out a guy this year that he didn't beat out Last year.

because the NFLE competition, to Donkey, means what ever happens over there means nothing, even though Parcells has said Henson has shown improvement, but how can that be if it doesn't matter?

Parcells said last year before TC that Henson had improved because of his work with Payton. Where did that land him once he had to compete? The quality of player you improve against does matter. Anyone who thinks it doesn't has lost their mind. If you are consistently playing against 3rd and 4th stringers, your play is going to be at that level and maybe a little more.

If Keylon Kincade goes to NFLE and blows up for 1,200 yards, he's improved, but that doesn't mean he's going to step in and take MBIII's job as the primary backup to JJ.

Henson has improved and from some of the clips I've seen posted here he's looked a little more comfortable in the pocket. But, I haven't had the luxury of seeing his bad plays, either.
