I have to admit....

Drew Henson impressed me at times last night. Romo still played betetr than either Bledsoe or Henson, but Henson did look better than I thought he would.

I thought so too.It seemed like He was really trying to get that last score.I saw some "fight" in him.

I thought Romo had a couple of nice passes to Witten. I thought Henson had a couple of nice passes to Crayton and some other guys. I didn't see Bledsoe throw anything impressive, although he wasn't terrible either.

If I had to pick a starter based solely off of last night's game I'd go with Henson.

lets give them 3 more pre-season games before we name a starter.

I didn't say we were naming a starter. I simply said that if I had to choose based solely on last night I'd go with Henson. He looked the best of the three IMO.

do you show all of your cards immediatly, or do you wait and play it safe not giving your hand away?

I did say it appeared he had some fight in him.I do feel he deserves a better chance than he got last year.1 mistake and he was gone.I don't think I'd start him right away,week 1.maybe midway if Drew B continues to look like a statue.

I have to admit I'm a little concerned about Bledsoe. Reports have said he didn't look good in camp, he didn't look especially impressive last night. I'm hoping it's just him adjusting to a new team, or maybe he's a slow starter. He still has 3 weeks or so to work the kinks out.

Henson makes a nice pass when his primary WR is open. When his primary WR is covered, he looks unsure of himself. There were a few times when I thought he threw the ball away too early simply because he looked flustered because he had to check off.

Romo just moves the offense effortlessly. Its another one of those performances where you think "This guy isn't that great" and then you look at the final numbers and he's got a 104 QB Rating. Just like people said Romo wasn't that great in the scrimmage last week when he has nearly a 100 QB rating and leads the offense to a TD. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts with Romo.

The entire 1st string offense was such a cluster F you couldn't tell how bad or good Bledsoe was playing, but he clearly wasn't rising above it or raising the play of his teammates.

Still 3 more games to go.

Well said IR. I agree 100%

The out pattern to Terry Glenn on the sideline was a pretty impressive pass. It was thrown on a rope to the sideline off his back foot...but it was about the only one.

If I had to pick a starter based solely off of last night's game I'd go with Henson.

I would have to go with Romo...the guy with the 100 QB rating who was finding his checkdown receivers and throwing passes with touch to guys that a hard fast ball would not have been able to get to. And BTW he had some nice passes to other receivers besides Witten although Witten (as one might expect) was his best target. It was really a shame that the one play to Crayton got called back; that was nice work by both Romo and Crayton.

I feel, with Romo, this is sort of a glass is half full/empty kinda thing. On the other hand of what you say, I say Romo just wouldn't scare me as a DCoordinator. I agree, right now, if I had to go with a starter or backup (that wasn't Bledsoe) it would be Romo. BUT - I just don't think he will ever do anything better than that. He just doesn't seem to have a high ceiling.....

This is exactly why I don't understand why Henson didn't go to Europe. I know they wanted to work on his mechanics, but he needs game experience.

Yes he needs experience. That he should have got last year.

Henson looks kinda scared when he is out there, but anyone should be with how the offensive line was playing.

Scared? I don't know what game you were watcing, but Henson looked under control and I thought he did a fine job. He did not look scared at all from what I saw.

As far as Henson only able to throw the ball to an open receiver I just don't agree since I saw him make an excellent out throw to Crayton in the flat with the defender draped on Crayton. It was a throw that I think most quarterbacks would have trouble with.

Romo does have some nice touch, but most of his throws were to a Pro Bowl tight end playing against second teamers. I just don't think we have seen enough of either quarterback to start making recommendations on who is our future.

Time people time.
