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.
The Answer wasn't never concerned with how Henson performed in NFLE. Even if he would have shattered every passing record in that league it would have meant nothing. What The Answer was concerned is as to why Henson was even playing there to begin with. There were some people that claim Henson was a #1 overall pick type of talent and if that's the case he's busted worse than Tim Couch. 1st round talent don't play in the NFLE unless they have been monumental flops and shown nothing in their first 3 years.
If Henson was truly considered a #1 overall or 1st round type of talent than what does that say? Bledsoe, Aikman, Elway, Manning, Palmer etc have all led their teams to the playoffs in their early 20's. They didn't need 3 or 4 years to 'develop' to show what they can do on the gridiron. In fact both Bledsoe and Manning passed for well over 4000 yards in their 2nd year and made the playoffs. Henson is now 26 and is in danger of fading into NFL obscurity. Henson made a commitment to baseball coming out of college and that has haunted him ever since. If he was truly passionate about football he would have never went to the MLB.
JJ would have never signed Bledsoe (or Vinnie T) for that matter if he though Henson was THE ANSWER.
At some point you have to let go and move on....
