Hos on QB's - some funny stuff going down in the desert preseason!
I'll give him props - he put it all out there on Henson!
Howdy folks. You guys will never know how much I missed the site the last 2 days as I went to the game.
Pictures coming later when I download them to a site.
Okay, let's start with the thing everyone always wants to talk about, quarterbacks.
MichaelWinicki and LaTunaNostra, I would just like to say until the two of you pointed it out I had no idea how obvous it is that Drew Bledsoe pats the football a lot before he throws it. He took 2 sacks yesterday and fumbled on one of them. Luckily we got it back. I acknowledge that he has a canon for an arm. There is no doubt about that at all. However, last night he looked awful. He was pushing the ball instead of throwing it. He had more time than either of the other 2 QBs and looked the worst of the 3 in some regards.
Okay, on to Tony Romo. He had a better completion % than Drew and moved the team, but I'm going to be honest, he lollypops every throw. There was almost no zip on any pass. I have tried to be supportive of him but I'm going to be honest, he will never be starter material. It just flat out will not happen. When standing next to the 2 Drews he is noticably shorter. The most glaring difference though is the velocity of the football. Quite frankly he had none last night. To his credit he made very smart throws. He was locked onto Witten (more about him later) and as a result he moved the team.
Okay, now is where you guys get to call me a Henson Apologist or whatever you want. With less time than either of the first 2 guys he was noticably better than they were in every aspect of the game. He took a sack late on the last drive that he had no chance to avoid. If not for that he played well enough to have done exactly what Parcells asked for, that was to come in late and win the game. Those who were worried about this kid can stop. He has some serious tools. He played better with less than either of the other two guys and yes, I will acknowledge he played against a lesser defense than they did. At least acknowledge this when bringing that up, Antrel Rolle and Lance Mitchell are going to be starters for the Cardinals this year at some point. He wasn't going against scrubs, these guys were good.
