Henson or Romo? Who Stays?

[CowboysFaninHouston]

romo. henson is a project and going to NFLE is his final chance to show something. there are more people inside the org. that think highly of romo than henson. if hearrington comes here, henson is gone by mid training camp

 

[SultanOfSix]

If Henson keeps improving his play in Europe, he's going to stay. He'll have "real game" experience at a talent level higher than that of college. Romo, although he may have "moxie", the latter is insufficient alone to make it in the NFL. He could definitely be a good backup, but as far as his potential to be a starter, I think Henson exceeds it. I would rather develop Henson and Romo and forget about Harrington. If the latter is so great, why are they trying to trade him with a new coach coming in if coaching was the issue?

I don't know much about Detroit because obviously I don't follow them, but from what I hear Joey throws a ton of picks and has problems making his read progressions.

Really, who are they ? I've heard Payton was the big Romo fan (Same College too...hmmm) but not sure who else are you talking about ? Please provide a link or quote from someone in the oraganization that said there are more people inside the org. that think highly of romo than henson....

So far in 2 games Henson stats measure much better than anyone else in the leauge. For a real Romo vs Henson comparision we will need to wait until this Summer. Tony and Drew both had poor 2nd year pre-season stats, probably due to the fact that both were forced to change thier throwing motions in the prior Springs. This Summer will be the true test.

Even though as pointed out in some of the posts here about Henson having the stronger arm, etc., and Henson being a selection by Jones, I still think that Romo has more QB savvy than Henson does. I don't know if I necessarily see either QB as being our "future", but between the two, I think Romo has more QB savvy than Henson though.

Henson homers are standing strong today.

Henson homers are standing strong today.

I think the Cowboys look to bring in Harrington because Jones and Parcells intend to make a run this year. I think they like Romo and they think Henson still has real potential. Assuming the NFLE experience continues along its current path, the decision on who goes will not be easy.

Assuming Henson does well in NFLE, and based on the plan to have Bledsoe around for two more years, I think they attempt to trade Romo. In short, Romo goes.

I kind of wish we would get rid of both of them and draft another QB.

That way I would not have to hear the homers and haters for Romo and Henson...because neither have done enough to get any praise from fans IMO.

Now, Now, BP. You don't like yet another thread in the long line of Henson vs Romo? Doesn't it just make you long for the days when there were so many QCar vs Hutch threads? Ah yes, I remember it well.

1. We have more invested in him at this time i.e. 3rd rd draft pick more $.

Jerry is a businessman and undoubtedly understands sunk cost. What's invested in Henson should be irrelevant to whether he or Romo would stay. Simply put, the team should keep the player that is or at least can be the most productive QB for the Dallas Cowboys.

2. I think there is more upside to Henson i.e., more athletically gifted, stronger arm etc. I do not see Romo as anything more than a career backup.

I don't see how anyone can make a judgement on either QB as far as the NFL. We simply haven't seen enough to make a judgement. I had high hopes for Henson, but now I'm just not so sure.

The whispers about Romo are intriguing. I have no idea if (or why) BP or anyone else would consider this kid "special," but it seems like lately if there's smoke, there's fire.

The most distressing thing to me about Henson of late was noticing that he has gone back to his old delivery. I haven't absorbed every bit of Henson info, so I don't know if that is a decision made by the team or if Henson just figured he would go with what works for him. If it's the latter, it probably doesn't bode well for his future with the team.

I am encouraged by Henson's play in the last game, though it looks the Fire weren't taking too many intermediate to long shots down the field (or no one was open). Still, success builds upon itself, and I'm sure Henson feels more confident after that performance.

Depends on who makes that call. If Bill gets to decide, then Romo stays. If Jerry gets the final decision then Henson stays (which is how I voted and HOPE it turns out, though not the part about trading for Joey).

Yes those irritated me too...I know I am getting cranky in my old age.

Spoken like a Mod who is sick of moderating the Romo vs. Henson wars...lol.

From the what have you done latley column.

Time will tell what this years TC and pre-season shows.

Henson doing well in NFLE and getting valuable game experience. Can only be a plus. Glad he voluntered for the extra work.

Those that don't think they need extra work at any profession are typically the ones that fail.

Rome was against going to Europe, time may show that this was a bad choice.

NFLE is not much different than NFL Pre-season football. Romo went up aginst 2nd an 3rd string players and that is pretty much what NFLE is. So to laugh at NFLE and what Henson has done there would be the same as what Romo faced

Great. So Henson cant play in the regular season because he will get destroyed by opposing defenses, he cant play in the preseason because he will get dominated by backups but you still think he will be our No.2 just because he completed 22 passes in the NFL europe?

Whatever. My opinion is: Henson will never make it. Tony Romo doesnt have the biggest arm, yeah, but he's smart and accurate.

No not saying that at all only saying Romo has not done anything either and the competition Henson is facing in NFLE is the same as what Romo faced. You post his numbers to prove a point and yet laugh at Henson who is putting up good numbers against the same type of competition. My only hope is one of these guys shows he can do the job be it Henson or Romo

 

[SultanOfSix]

I think Henson slept with some of these people's girlfriends or something.

I would agree but these type of people don't have girlfriends...Heck they don't even have mothers...

You maybe right, if you read the article by Mickey, he has a quote from Jerry saying something to the effect that they will look at a QB in the draft, even mentioning that if everything falls right, early in the draft.

What strikes me funny is that all these Henson homers are talking about how Henson is so much better, and stronger arm this and taller and more handsome and he doesn't paly golf like Rome and so on............yet someone mentions that Romo is highly thought of by the FO and they immediately want a link. Show the links to prove your Hensons points. Read the article my Mickey, he say it right there. Like him or not he has better information than any of us.

I really could care less who stays and who goes. But look at the indications. Last QB we sent ot NFLE is serving burger at McDonalds.
