Why no Henson? This is preseason?

[Hailmary]

The worst thing that happened to his Football career is the Yankees. Not BP....

True. Can't argue w/ you there.

I think we can all agree that Parcells et. al. like what they have seen in Romo even before this game. I mean, they were already talking extension with him. What I am saying is that, if Romo proves himself as a capable backup, it kinda keeps Parcells from needing to find another QB.

Btw, everyone was all over Matt Schaub's jock due to his preseason performances. Then, he throws for 200+yds and 3 Ints in his first regular season game. He doesn't play again until the following year's regular season, and now some people want him for as much as a 1st rd pick.

Romo didn't wow us in this past game, but you must give him credit for playing against a 1st team defense and for an entire game. I don't see how his success can cause Henson to be jettisoned. Is there a QB out there that you would rather start all over with?

He had only one drive ending in a touchdown...that is true. But he had 3 drives of over 70 yards which make s three good drives. He also had a misque on a possible touchdown because Copper turned the wrong way in the endzone.

And while it is true that he was playing against vanilla defenses it is also true that he was playing with some second/third stringers. The fact still remains that he did a very good job with the situation that he was in...that is all you can ask.

I haven't seen the game yet.

I just think its funny that when Henson was playing in NFLE, the above statement was never accepted. The fact that Henson was playing with scrubs, no WR's...Bad oline was just written off...lol.

Players are jettisoned when they don't measure up, not when someone else doesn't.

All I am saying is don't read too much into this one performance.... The true test for Romo will be if and when he gets to play in a real game against a defense that has game planned for him. I like what I saw lastnight, I am just still a bit skeptical because lastnight was nothing more than 4 quarters of practice.

I agree that it was only a preseason game and the fact is we will never know how good Romo is until he starts talking starter snaps in the regular season. And I am not saying that he should be given that job over Bledsoe at this point either.

But what we did see last night was almost all positive. There was very little more that Romo could have done with the situation last night to prove himself. So in that regard I am satisfied with his performance and his progress as a QB.

I think the one thing we've learned by now is to not try to figure out what Parcells is doing.

We will know what Romo's playing the entire games meant when the regular season begins.

 

[Sandman52]

Players are jettisoned when they don't measure up, not when someone else doesn't.

Hos, I agree with that. However, I believe a 3rd string QB can be a project QB when you have a productive starter and a capable back-up. We may be on the verge of having that situation.

From reading Grizz's TC reports, I really believe that Parcells wants Henson to develop.....especially if he has the luxury of taking that time.

Dude...you really need to chill with the active emoticons. That's just...it's...Dude...you need to chill with the emoticons :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:

Wasn't the last QB to not take a snap in a preseason game, Chad Hutchinson?

so are you comparing bledsoe to hutch now cause didn't take a snap either?

i'm a henson supporter, but i'm also hoping that romo can play too and he simply needed some game time and as much as i hate bp, i agree with him letting romo go the distance. it's just to see how the kid does with a full game under his belt. w/3 years and NO NFL SNAPS it's kinda important. that's all.

far too many people want to take ONE FREAKING EVENT or GAME and make long term decisions on everything.

wow - romo looked pretty good so all problems are solved, henson should be cut and bledsoe will be on the bench soon.

henson is a LONG TERM PROJECT that signed an EIGHT YEAR CONTRACT and is going nowhere. live with it.

romo had a pretty decent game but nothing that would excite the world where i feel we're set. let him have more reps, he's off to the start you'd expect with some good stuff tossed in for good measure, and we've FINALLY after 3 years of bp bull* are looking at ANYONE but his former buddies.

i'm happy with that little progress but others can't be happy until they get their own way and their qb of choice proves their "right" with every given throw and every "non-throw" from the qb's they don't like means they're on the way out.

we seem to live in an instant gratification society and boy does it show.

it's called tunnel vision and agendas. you see what you want to see and you alter the situation to fit what you want in the end.

Exactly my point. If Romo had stunk out loud and shown he couldn't cut it (which I don't believe can be determined from 1 bad outing in a pre-season game) and a vet needed to be brought in, they still can develop Henson and Romo would be cut based on his own inefficiencies. It doesn't make a lick of sense to keep a guy who cannot hack it and get rid of a guy you're wanting to develop.

DAMN YANKEES!!!:bang2: :laugh1:

isn't there a rule about animated gif's in your sigline?

i believe this will be addressed soon enough.

 

[vicjagger]

This thread reminds me of the guy(?) who called in towards the end of Norm's post-game show.

He was wining about the same thing and I swear it was Michael Jackson...

 

[Established1971]

If BP hasn't already crushed his spirits and confidence, he has last night.

BP is quite possibly the worst thing that could have happened in Drew's football career. Best possisble scenario now for Drew is to either be cut or have us win the SB where BP steps down on a winning note so he can start fresh w/ a new coach.

Don't get me wrong, I too am very excited over Romo's performance last night and would like to see him push Bledsoe for PT, but the way BP has been treating Henson seems a bit cruel and unusual. JMO.

well said
