If you had already 2 premiere WRs on the team it might not be too hard to stand out with a little talent...

Chad J. (psycho crybaby) is arguably a top 5 WR talent... He does have mad skills to match his mouth...

TJ Whosyourmomma is an exceptional receiver who is coming off I believe a 100+ catch season and is a terrific talent. He could probably be a #1 on another team. He plays with passion too.

Chris Henry is a #3 WR behind two really fabulous WRs... not too hard to stand out when your DBs have to worry about the first two WRs.

I agree Henry benefited from their presence, but I don't think you can just erase what he's done with those blanket statements.

Where has our stat-friendly No. 3 wide receiver been these years with T.O/Glenn and T.O/Witten catching passes?

Interesting. Charges dropped on Henry, 4 game suspension. Marshawn Lynch drives his car into somebody, runs away, gets caught pleads guilty to a lesser charge and gets off because he pled down.

Hasn't Henry had multiple infractions though? Keep in mind, Pacman was never really convicted of anything and he still hasn't been reinstated. I think the first time you get a pass, but after that if u haven't learned than you're in big trouble.

yeah, he had multiple infractions that he already served his suspension for. He had charges dropped from this latest arrest which he claimed was a case of false accusation.
If he has no charges against him, thus not violating the conduct policy, why should he be suspended at all?

Good to know. I guess it is just another case of power-happy Goodell flexing his muscles then.

Jerry Jones said in the interview provided by DCFanatic that he will not take a chance on those players with a "substance" problem... that the risk is too high to take.

All I know is that the majority of the board was anti-T.O. once... until he showed up and started playing well.

Then they were mostly anti-Pacman... until he showed up and has looked good in camp.

Now it's Chris Henry. Same deal. Nobody wants him... but if we do sign him, we'll jump on board if he starts playing well for us.

And for the record, I was 100% on board with the T.O. and Pacman additions. I don't know if Henry's reward is worth the risk, though... our young WRs might be good enough.

Yum! A candy bar! And another one! I'm going to keep playing Turds-n-Candybars and see how the game ends!

That's interesting. I can see it. Jerry was burned by Quincy's problem.

I personally would like the addition of Henry, it's a low risk-high reward situation. Bring him in with a low salary and see what happens, the worst thing is that he can do something stupid again and get suspened - he'll be on a low salary anyway so that wont matter.

The plus side is that he MIGHT keep himself out of trouble and turn into a great player for Dallas. That's a risk I would take.

this thread isnt really happening is it?

I bumped my head earlier and this is a nightmare I hope.

After hearing brad sham on with norm earlier and hearing how worried internally the team might be about wr, i shudder at even the thought of henry
In an 'I don't give a ....' society, these kinds of things have become the norm instead of the exception.
