RUMOR: Dallas wants to draft a Qb

[iceberg]

I would hardly call 229 yards passing in two games doing well. At first I thought that might be okay for a guy who plays only two quarter, but then I learned from other gracious posters here, such as yourself, that he plays three quarters. Do I expect more from the possibly future of the team? You're damn right I do. Do you expect Jerrah to go out and get the best players available in the draft and free agency? Of course you do.

Tell me, if you had Henson and Harrington on the team, who would you choose to be the back up?

you're expecting me to answer this as if there's really an answer to this question that's something *other* than preference.

i'd prefer we find a young qb now and see what we can salvage from henson and give drew and to their walking papers, finish the offseason-enema with a parcells flushing and wa-la...i can have my cowboys back.

barring anything like that happening, who cares? our preference isn't being monitored for some final COWBOYS IDOL voting we can chime in on, so the hate really doesn't do any good outside yourself.

Dallas wants a Qb in the draft
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------copied from my friend

Mike my source with player personal is telling me now , Dallas is most definatly looking to draft a qb in this years draft . The Word is still about henson . If he lights it up he will stay if not Dallas will be drafting a qb as early as the first round.

Harrington still remains an option but the guy im talking to is telling me Dallas is seriously looking at vince young now and might choose to move up in the draft to take him IF he hovers around 18th.

I think this is great news, I think with bledsoe probably only having two more solid years , this year is a perfect season to draft a qb . this way bledsoe can groom him alittle bit.

anyway im going to be out in oxnard i think this summer we should definatly meet up . are you still with your girl?? give me a shout

If some how dallas draft young i would cream myself

By saying "salvage from henson," that tells me you aren't happy with the project. You don't salvage something that is good or your prized possession. You salavage old cars to see what you can get for them. You salavage ships to see what they have. You don't salvage the "franchise player."

You can call me a hater or a pompous arse or whatever it is you can think of, but stay on the homer henson bandwagon, hanging all your hopes and dreams on him.

you saying "tells me" tells me you're reading way too much into what i'm saying and coming to conclusions to base your argument on that are NOT what i'm saying.

we need "drama queen" under your title - i never said i was hanging my hopes on anyone, i just said "stop the hate" and you kicked it up a notch.

and fyi - by salvage i mean even if...nevermind.

you'd just twist that up also.

 

[Slyster]

I think I would wait and nab Croyle in the 2nd ....or 1st if there is a thought of someone else taking him.

At first I thought that might be okay for a guy who plays only two quarter, but then I learned from other gracious posters here, such as yourself, that he plays three quarters.

Really? At first you thought it might be ok for two quarters of work? You were informed on page 7 that he plays 3 quarters a game. Before then, you dropped such doozies as;

Who cares if his rating is the highest there, he doesn't throw down field. he only has 229 yards in two games (110-yard average) for an average of 6.5 yards per completion. Woo Hoo. He sure is lighting it up over there.

Wow... a 100 rating among scrubs. It's funny you don't mind him doing well against other teams' backups.

He hasn't done anything to me and he hasn't done anything to show me he's the future. Tell, other than posting numbers against lesser opponents, what has he done to show you that if Bledsoe goes down the Boys won't miss a beat with Henson? What has he done to convince you that he is the future? Not against scrubs in NFLE. Against real players.

And all this while you still thought he played 2 quarters. Yeah, you're REAL open minded bout anything Henson related. And what I find even more amazing, is that you've formed these incredibly slanted opinions, without ever seeing him play!

Wow, it's a good thing I'm the only one reading way too much into comments made on this board. I certainly didn't want to share that title.

I don't twist words, just take them for how they are put out there. If you can't put your thoughts together better than that, there is nothing I can do about that. And I'm not a hater, just a realist.

Give Mike some slack here. He's been a regular Dallas board poster for years.
Educated guesses or true insider stuff? He has some built up chips in this thread. I'm a doubter but thats just me - I dig in deep on stuff.

Sometimes you hear what you want to hear? insiders?

I'm a huge John Abraham fan back to his college days. Wanted to believe he'd be here... but not realistic

Ask one question - do BP and JJ have the QB decisions made already?

 

[Sknsnation]

Whitehurst, not Young. Young will be taken either at pick 3 (if NY trades up for Leinert at 2) or pick 7. If anyone falls, it's Cutler, but not past Arizona at 10.

Hey guys, I also have a friend whos a big boys fan and he told me me the same thing an that was that Whitehurst is the target for the boys in the draft. They weren't trying to trade up or any thing because the the f o thinks he will be there when they are ready to take him, but he also said they have a back-up plan to move up if needed.

If Vince Young drops to 18, I'll quit my job. I think he's going to the Titans but even if he doesn't, are you aware that Al Davis is still alive? I mean, he wears adult diapers but he's still coherent enough to make decisions and if you think Vince Young will ever get past the Raiders while Al Davis is still on this earth, you're nuts. Or Denny Green for that matter. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning twice tomorrow than you do Young being on the board at 18.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I just have my doubts at this point, the more I see and here about him, the more I get discouraged.

the more you see and hear? dude, you haven't seen much to base anything on and doubting? seems you pretty much decided how his future is going to turn out

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Henson is a great talent? What do you base this on?

how about NFL men and Ron WOlf, one of the greatest talent evaluators in the history of the game? that beats any armchair GM's evaluation

and Leaf was thrown into the fire and couldn't handle it, there's a thing called developing players, and there's a reason NFL teams take great pains in doing it, and which we're doing with Henson so that he doesn't turn into the next Leaf

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I would hardly call 229 yards passing in two games doing well.

is that doing bad? and if we told you that Henson would be having a 91 proficiency rating after 2 games, after all, he's just acclimating himself to playing in live action, would you have believed us?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

And what I find even more amazing, is that you've formed these incredibly slanted opinions, without ever seeing him play!

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN!

no - you're a hater. when facts don't "bear out" you change the story to stay negative, not give it credit for what it really is.

it doesn't matter what henson does over there, you're gonna slam/belittle it.

that ain't realism, it's just stupid.

*when* are you hearing whitehurst? 1st? if that's who we're thinking i hope we trade down and get our 3rd back and draft a TE or something.

 

[ConcreteBoy]

We will probably draft QB somewhere in draft. Henson is what he is over in Europe. MB3 is our 3rd down back and yes, TE is one of the best positions quality and depth wise in this draft.

Jerry knows that. I feel better that Parcells is watching Jerry.

 

[lspain1]

Lots of posts here but if I were the Cowboys I might do the following:

1. I have a young QB who has had some problems and is in NFLE.
2. I want to make a smokescreen and create some uncertainty among the competition about what I'm actually going to do in the draft, particularly in round 1.
3. I just might show some QB interest and start a rumor around the league that I'm looking for one in the draft.....


Naaaah, I'd never do that

First post of the most visited thread on page one? I can only hope that it improves on grammar, spelling, sourcing, and every other aspect of private chatroom feeling.

If it does, props for breaking the big news.
