Rhein Fire @ Cologne Centurions

Need to see how he does on the little outs and the dump offs. Does need to show some touch- he tends to gun it a little too much.

Lets not judge Drew here. Its just NFL Europe and he's playing football again. This is a developmental QB and if he throws 300 yards or 3 interceptions it really won't matter much. He's gaining experience over there.

I agree that doing well doesn't show much.

But if he stinks over there it means alot. A guy with Henson's skills should be able to completely dominate. His talent level is much higher than the rest of the guys in that league. If he can't play well in Europe then we are going to cut him

 

[Anguillidae]

Right in his hands and he droped it...

 

[fortdick]

Great scramble to make the first down throw! Showed some real pocket presence there, and MOXIE as well!

:laugh2:

Agreed. If he threw the ball softly, someone would say "he doesn't have a strong arm" or "isn't throwing darts". If he throws it hard, its "he doesn't have any touch". Lets just let him play and see what he's got after 10 games.

I'm not trying to overvalue his good plays....I understand it's NFLE. But He's getting a chance to play and improving. And he'll find stuff to improve on after the NFLE season. And maybe more touch on drop-offs is one of them...and probably an easier fix. But so far, I think he looks good...something to build on.

Definitly needs some work on his short passes.

 

[burmafrd]

You do not want to throw rainbows like that.

 

[Anguillidae]

Fire has a good running game.

 

[CowboyManDan]

Didn't like that pass to the RB in the flats just there.

I want Henson to succeed. He cost us a third-round pick and this team needs a QB of the future. He has all the physical talent in the world. And while I agree that we shouldn't judge him on stats, I think how he throws the ball is fair game. It's a constant, no matter what continent he's playing on.

Elway had a problem with touch for years, though, so...

 

[burmafrd]

He tends to throw low on the short passes- but I would rather they were low then high- since those tend to get int and run back for TD's.

 

[burmafrd]

That last pass was tipped at the line- amazing the announcers did not notice that.

I hear ya. I guess the announcers are developmental too!
So 2nd quater I expect to see Chang.

Carter did that too, but judging from what I've seen of Henson, I think Q threw a better long ball.

 

[burmafrd]

That rainbow he threw on the deep route- he has GOT to make sure that is not a habit.

 

[CowboyManDan]

Timmy Chang is hurt, looks in pain.

 

[VACowboy]

Leg or knee, looks like.

 

[Juke99]

Henson certainly hasn't put up great numbers....but I do like the way he looks...I am impressed with his awareness in the pocket...I like his mobility...so far, I haven't seen anything that discourages me.
