Henson Versus Romo Thread

I disagree.

Henson had one bad throw, the post to Smith that could have been a TD.

He threw the ball away a couple of times and those had a little flutter.

The over throw in the end zone was the receiver running the wrong route, he stopped dead at the ten yard line and Henson threw a post corner.

Romo made the correct reads but, like it or not, he does not have a strong arm. He had two passes that the receiver was open and he did not have the arm to get it there, and one was nearly an INT.

First of all, let me say that I don't care who wins the back up job, Henson or Romo. As long as at least one of them does a solid job and is ready to come in and play just incase.

But let me say this, what would you rather have, a strong armed QB, or a smart QB? I'm not saying ANYTHING about either of the two QBs, I'm just curious what your answer would be.

Ideally, both. But I suppose I would go with the strong arm. Intelligence couldn't hit Crayton on a 30 yard out pattern.

So you'd basically take Ryan Leaf over Rich Gannon. Ok, that's what I figured.

And you would take Jason Garrett over Peyton Manning. Hmmm. Seems like a logical conclusion based on your hypothesis.

 

[Alexander]

they both looked better than I thought they would...Bledsoe looked bad, but he had no time...

I am already sick and tired of his patting the ball...

LOL!!!!

How does Peyton Manning get in this? Is he not a smart QB? I'd say he's the smartest QB in the league. If anything, you just hurt your argument.


So basically you'd take Billy Joe Tolliver over Peyton Manning?

Seems like a logical conclusion based on your hypothesis.

If you don't consider Manning a "smart" QB, sure. But he is so you're wrong. What a surprise!

Gee, I wonder I my reply to your argument became so twisted? And Peyton Manning doesn't strike me as a future nuclear chemist.

Peyton = Intelligent

Peyton = Intelligent

He's generally regarded as the most intelligent QB in the league. And his arm, while good, is probably not in the top ten in the league. You need to stand down from this particular argument, though I don't disagree with you, in general, that you need a QB that can make all the throws (unless you're running one of the variations of the WCO).

I would have thought, btw, that arguing the choice between Kosar and Elway, the respective archetypes of the "heady" QB and the strong-armed slinger would be a more appropriate way for the two of you to settle this dispute.

Nothing new to add really. I was pleased with Both Romo and Henson and look forwrd to seeing Henson play with the 2nd team next week. Bledsoe left much to be desired, but the same could be said about the entire starting offense other than Witten. Biggest difference I saw between Romo and Henson was arm strength. They both seemed confident back there.

A smart QB in the right scheme...............ala Joe Montana, can do wonders, but put a similar guy ( Steve Walsh) in wrong schemes ---dodo

hmmm...so in your opinion, Romo is smarter than henson? DOubt it, but even if he is, it is marginal at best and not enough to overcome henson's physical talent.

I heard the announcers praise Romo for his going down the reads and finding his second receiver.

However, that receiver was Witten being covered man-up by the safety. There was no contest there for the receiver or the quarterback.

I watched him after that and he looked off the primary receiver immediately and went to Witten every time.

Once Witten was taken out, Romo essentially did nothing.

He wasn't helped by the line play and penalties.

But they didn't call many running plays either.

He moves in the pocket well. But that little lob pass will be meat for the defense if he continues to toss that pass.

Henson was harried the entire time. He made a couple of nice plays. He is stout on the sidelines pass.

There just wasn't much open, and he didn't have a great deal of time to complete jack squat.

I thought the play on the grounding was actually a pretty head's up play. He could have tried to get the ball to the receiver, but it would have been a duck. And the defender would have been all over it.

I don't think Henson moved up past Romo. But I believe he closed the gap somewhat.

But then I have an agenda. I have to go to work then to the store for things for dinner. After that I need to do some laundry.

This post has "AGENDA" written all over it. What's a QB supposed to do when his ALL PRO TE is open, throw it to his FB? Gimme a f'in break. Romo played a good game, and made some nice throws. So did Henson. Don't downplay one guy's play just cuz you have some dumb*** agenda. If Romo is the better QB, he should get the backup job. PERIOD.

You sure are quick to point out agendas when someone favors Henson.

Youre a Romo guy, admit it and move on.

 

[Chuck 54]

I don't lay all the blame on the QB's, but the goal is to get into the endzone anyway possible.

Considering we never reached the promise land even once, I'd say all 3 QB's were a failure tonight, and if we say none of them got enough support, then that just confirms the fact that we have 3 would-be bus drivers at the position, imo.

Your answer to his answer proves that you DO have a favorite in this competition and you have already come to the conclusion that Romo is the smart one. I don't think that conclusion is warrented. I'll take Henson with his brain and his arm.

Good assessment. I would agree with all those statements.

Anyone watching Romo would have to come to two conclusions if they are honest, IMO.

1. He played well. I don't think you can say he played poorly.
2. He completed most of his stuff on "fluffy" plays, misdirection dumps in the flats. If you remember Q. Carter looked great for about 5 games doing that stuff, and then defenses locked down on him and made him throw downfield. It was a completely different ballgame after that.

Anyone watching Henson would have to admit.

1. He played well. I don't think you can say he played poorly.
2. I can't remember one dump pass he completed. They were almost all down the field to some degree.

I like Henson and I want to see Parcells get behind him.

 

[The Duke]

Henson was the valedictor (Sp?) 1st in his HS and if I remember graduated early from Michigan.

You have to have an agenda if you think Romo is anyway is smarter than Henson. Henson has the obvious stronger arm and is smarter...that's the facts folks.
