I Believe It Is Realistic To Talk Superbowl In 2006

[Maikeru-sama]

Well...

Parcells will have the same QB in place 2 years straight, which would be a first for him while in Dallas.

Again, posts like these assume we are working in a Vaccum.

Philly will be back...

Giants are only going to get better....

Gregg Williams just signed a 3 year extension...so that defense of the Skins is only going to get better and Gibbs looks like he still has it...

After missing the playoffs 2 years running and getting totally destroyed in the last one, I aint thinking Super Bowl, hell at this point I would really only want to talk about a Wild Card Berth LMAO!!!!

Here's an NFL Draft profile of Henson.

Notice what it says about his delivery and passing mechanics.

We have to find out about Henson.

Why have some given up on him?

Those discounting his age must remember he is one year older than Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, JP Losman, etc. He is still a young QB, and has a little more time. If he starts in 2007, he can still go on to have a solid 10 year career.

The throwing motion problem may not be a problem at all. He throws with a 3/4 arm angle, he's not sidearm guy like Rivers, and many QB's throw that way. It was said he was changing to improve his accuracy, but he was accurate in college and his first preseason. If you watch Bledsoe, he drops down to a sidearm occasionally. The problems he was going through may have just been experience level, and any young QB will go through that playing at the NFL level for the first time.

NFL Europe will be a proving ground for him. If he goes over there and shows his accuracy is what it was in the past at Michigan, and he can still make all the throws, then the throwing motion knock is a non-issue. We can chalk his struggles up to experience level. Next step for him after gaining confidence is winning back the #2 job in camp, then a minor injury (would never hope for anyone to get hurt) and your QB of the future may inherit his role just like Tom Brady did.

So no, I'm not ready to give up on Henson at all, especially since we have no idea about him yet.

Eventually we have to hit on one of these baseball players... LMAO
Quincy, Hutchinson, Henson-ding,ding,ding!

Not trying to be harsh here, but this bio and stats were relevant about 5 years ago.

Im not intersted in evaluating Henson or Romo anymore.

I would like to keep Drew Bledsoe, sign a Vet in the offseason and draft a Rookie via the road most taken...

No sweat. I posted his profile because I thought it was relevant, since I said something about his throwing motion, and the profile lauded him for it.

But you're entitled to your opinion of course like we all are. I won't give up on a guy that I haven't seen, who plays for a coach that hasn't given him an opportunity.

I may be wrong, he may not deserve that opportunity.

But you may too, his coach may just have a stubborn win now mentality.

Time will tell.

I would be optimistic if we had finisjed strong. We played much better in the first half. We had some bad injuries, but we seem like a team with no fire, just alot of gas....

There is a differance in being optimistic, pessimistic and realistic.

If you are on a ship and it is sinking and you cry "man the lifeboats" some people would call you pessimistic when you are being realistic.

I don't see a sinking ship. I see a team that made some good progress this year but did not reach the level of expectations that a lot of people hoped and expected to see. However, the expectations were not realistic. Whenever some of us would point out that the SB was unrealistic this year we were instantly labeled as being "not true fans".

There were people coming out of TC even talking about going 16-0. Then when we were 5-3 after the first half of the season, these same people were talking about running the table the rest of the way. Then when we played the Giants for the division lead, some guaranteed a win and winning the division. When we lost then they guaranteed we would destroy Washington and eliminate them from the playoffs. A few kept cautioning people about Washington and again the cautious people were vilified as being "not true fans".

After the debacle in Washington, there were those who guaranteed that we would beat Carolina and the Rams and go far in the playoffs, in fact still win the SB. Those who said there was no guarantee that we will beat the Rams, were again castigated as being bandwagon fans.

We were destroyed by a bad team at home to end the season on a sour note and while we have drafted some top notch young players that should be the foundation of our future the Rams game revealed we still have a lot of work to do.

Now, two days after the debacle, there are those who are proclaiming we will win the SB next year. IS THERE NO END TO THE MADNESS?

Why can't we see our team for what it is? We have moved up from the bottom 5 in the League to the 13th team in the league. If we can stay healthy, and address successfully, RT, FS, K plus depth at 3 or 4 other places, stay injury free, and enjoy some of the good luck we have this year, we should make the playoffs. We have the potential of making some noise in the playoff as well.

BUT, if we have critical injuries; if we have some of our draftees or FA signings that turn out to be busts, AND if we don't bring in some disruptive FAs that could tear our team apart, then we could move up another notch and might even content for the SB but there are a lot of IFs, ANDs, and BUTs before we will know. I am not a cheerleader. I am an optimist tempered with realism.

Personally, I think if TO becomes a Cowboy, Parcells will retire on principle alone.

 

[wxcpo]

Can he handle him? possibly....but he has said he is too old for knuckleheads and TO is the definition of the word.

Parcells isn't too old to handle knuckleheads, he's too old to handle players that aren't "yes" men. That's why he brings in all his old players, because they have proven to him that they are his type of players, they are yes men. Has anyone heard anything negative about Bryant since Parcells gave him away to Cleveland? He put up over 1000 yards playing for a crappy Cleveland team with Dilfer and rookie Frye throwing him passes.

Nice to dream guys. Keep a dreaming. A coach who never fulfilled a contract as a coach. Rbs who have yet to play a full season or step up. A one trick pony in Glenn who likes to urinate in public places. A possession wr in Key who thinks he is better then he is.

Its funny how things change.

We have ostensibly the worst OL in football and we didn't make the playoffs this year.

Superbowl in 2006 ? ? ?

Precisely the reason why so many get so upset when things don't go as "planned."
