Henson-Its time to go

[The Answer]

are you insane? do you also know that Bledsoe, Aikman blah blah blah weren't away from the game for 3 years, after only starting 19 games since High School? dude, you'll try anything to spin this situation negatively

Yes The Answer is well aware of the situation, in fact Bledsoe and Aikman weren't away from the game for 3 years because football is and was their passion. They came in and took their lumps as rookies, especially Troy...who can ever forget his 1-15 rookie campaign!

This has been my biggest criticism of Henson....not that I hate him...not that I feel he doesn't have the requisite tools to succeed at the pro level.....but that he never wanted to play pro football in the first place.

If you like The Answer can even dig up some old articles that validate this claim.....football was plan B.....fact, not fiction....

oh, so because he decided to follow his FIRST love, baseball, he should be stoned? yeah, that's definitely a knock you should hold against someone

The game of football is all about intangibles....and all the great players, particularly QB's, have it.....Henson simply don't have it. You need heart and passion to win in this league...you need leadership, raw talent and perserverence...I just don't see it Henson.

DOESN'T

If your schtick is being pretentious, you really need to write much, much better.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

asking to be sent to NFLE, actually, practically begging, where doing bad over there could spell the end, isn't heart and passion?

you need leadership, raw talent and perserverence...I just don't see it Henson.

~The Answer

kind of hard to see Henson's leadership, or lack thereof when you haven't been watching NFLE, or seen him in the huddle, or in the locker room, just because noone has spoken about his leadership skills, doesn't mean he isn't being one, and Henson has raw talent, and isn't going back to play football a mere 2 weeks after spraining your MCL not perserverence?

The Answer has watched every game he's played in NFLE and even broken down the game film being the football scholar I am. What The Answer has observed is a player lacking in fundamental mechanics....bad reads, innaccuracy, and killer mistakes when the game is on the line.....and I can tell you, given these flaws it wouldn't be pretty if he was going up against NFL starters as opposed to washouts in the minors.

~The Answer

Total and complete BS.

You either haven't watched or you are the most biased fabricator on this board.

Is there a negative scale for credibility because you need it.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

bad reads, innaccuracy, and killer mistakes when the game is on the line.....

and his receivers being good for 4-5 drops a game isn't hurting his completion percentage? I've watched the games, and many others too, and we all agree that Henson has been pretty accurate, esp. in the short passing game, which shows that he knows how to vary the velocity on his throws, very important for a QB, we've seen a strong arm that still needs work on the deep passing game, we've seen pocket prescence, good footwork while going through his motions, and escapability, we've only seen him make 1 game-changing mistake, maybe 2, with 1 of them being debatable, so in essence, we've seen the good outweigh the bad and have Parcells' word behind us, "he has improved"

The Answer did see some encouraging things from Henson but mastering the 'dink and dunk' isn't going to get it done in the big boys league.

Henson choked not once, but twice agains the best team in the NFLE. And the Amsterdan Admirals are a far cry from the likes of the Giants and Commanders...

As I said before, mastering the dink and dunk might get you passed the lions or 49ers, but against upper echleon NFC teams it's going to spell disaster.

If Henson would have shown even a glimmer of hope that he can make the deep pass effectively than I would think there's a chance he could challege Romo for the back up spot.

Romo proved last year in preseason that he can wing it, he's no Bledsoe but he makes me feel more confident than Henson

First of all being a Henson 'detractor', The Answer has never claimed to 'hate' him. In fact deep down I hope he does turn out to be something because as a hardcore fan I want everybody on this team to succeed. But the reality is that not every player we draft or sign is going to be a superstar and I've come to grips with this. Henson's prima donna attitude and overbearing comments have put him in the critics crosshairs.

Inasmuch as there have been no "overbearing comments", or "prima donna attitude" coming from Henson, your agenda is revealed by those biased, bogus comments...

To the contrary, Henson has very carefully said all the right things, all along...

What The Answer was concerned is as to why Henson was even playing there to begin with.

If the Answer can't figure that one out, he's really pretty clueless...

Henson is playing in Europe for one, common sense reason-- PLAYING TIME... this is a guy who took some years away from football, a guy who had limited playing time even back in college; of COURSE he's gonna need to get some reps, wherever he can...

Aikman, Elway, Manning, Palmer etc have all led their teams to the playoffs in their early 20's.

Aikman was 25 when the Cowboys first made the playoffs under him... Carson Palmer was 26 when the Bengals made the playoffs last year...

They didn't need 3 or 4 years to 'develop' to show what they can do on the gridiron.

Aikman was in his 3rd year as the STARTER when the Cowboys first made the playoffs under him... Palmer was in his 3rd season as well...

At some point you have to let go and move on....

By all means, do so... this tired Henson hating is gettin' real old...

and as NFLE has wore on, Henson has become better in the deep passing game, he still has parts of his game that need improvements, but then again, there are parts of his game that need less improvement because he's already making them, he's doing everything asked of him and the coaches are noticing the improvement

Henson choked not once, but twice agains the best team in the NFLE. And the Amsterdan Admirals are a far cry from the likes of the Giants and Commanders...

~The Answer

and one of those chokes was a questionable INT that would have been overturned by NFL replay

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If Henson would have shown even a glimmer of hope that he can make the deep pass effectively than I would think there's a chance he could challege Romo for the back up spot.

it's obvious that you've maybe caught one of his games then, he's gotten better in the deep-passing game

Romo proved last year in preseason that he can wing it, he's no Bledsoe but he makes me feel more confident than Henson

~The Answer

that was last year, why don't we wait till this preaseason to see how each stack up to each other, hmm?

By all means, do so... this tired Henson hating is gettin' real old...

WE HAVE A STARTING QB....he's only 34 years old, still in great shape, and has at least 3 years left in the tank.....

WE HAVE A BACK UP QB....that wasn't even drafted, yet still has proven to be better than Henson....

It's great that Henson was sent to Europe to get some live game action, but at this point it's irrelevant....

So The Answer asks...why are so concerned with the 3rd QB on this team??

Why is Henson so admired by fans on this forum???

If Henson beats out Romo this summer than The Answer promises to eat crow from the masses...but until then I will stand firm with my opinions based on my expertise assesment.

and only 2 left on his contract

WE HAVE A BACK UP QB....that wasn't even drafted, yet still has proven to be better than Henson....

you mean had proven? it still remains to be seen, and oh yeah, he has only 1 year remaining on his deal

It's great that Henson was sent to Europe to get some live game action, but at this point it's irrelevant....

Parcells doesn't think so

So The Answer asks...why are so concerned with the 3rd QB on this team??

~The Answer

dont' get mad because you always bring up Henson and then get ripped for it, and we admire him because he's a Cowboy and has the best chance of being the franchise QB according to his physical tools

 

[Bob Sacamano]

but until then I will stand firm with my opinions based on my expertise assesment.

~The Answer

:laugh2: :laugh1: what exactly are you assessing? ROmo is swinging golf clubs! yet you're saying he's the backup QB, yeah, he's the lame-duck backup

 

[The Answer]

and only 2 left on his contract

He will be 28 or 29 at the earliest before he gets a chance to show his stuff. If we are talking about 'the future' franchise QB, I'd much rather draft a QB next year and groom him for the job....

If Bledsoe has a big season in 2006 (which is highly likely given the talent around him), do you honestly think JJ or the front office will care about Henson even if Parcells rides off into the sunset?

same for your boy ROmo

he would still have a year remaining on his deal...
