Grits and Shins Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 TONY ROMO 608082[/snapback] He couldn't be worse than Testy either ... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Itals Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Parcells has always said all that he wants from his QB is no turnovers and scores. Testeverde hasn't given him either of those for eight weeks. I haven't heard Parcells call him out once. That being said, as bad as Testeverde has been, Henson looked absolutely lost on Thanksgiving Day. With the Cowboys soon to be mathematically eliminated, Parcells will have to get Henson and/or Romo some experience for next season. I mean, Testeverde can't actually be the guy next year too, can he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Sadly just last week there was discussion that Vinny could be the QB next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Henson hadn't played football for a few years up until this spring, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he's making all sort of dumb mistakes. I think that he MIGHT be a decent NFL QB sometime in the future, but he certainly needs more time to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I imagine with the Cowboys pretty much out of the running you would see Henson get some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 And holding the clip board on the sidelines is "good developmental time" I guess. 608151[/snapback] That's what Carson Palmer did last year and it took him until a couple weeks ago to adjust to the NFL. I agree that it's in Dallas' best interest at this point to start Henson. It usually takes over a year to turn a college QB into a competent NFL QB, so Parcells would be doing his organization a favor by getting Henson experience now.

Ruffian Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 (edited) I think they have to play him. You can't evaluate him if he never sees the field. If this kid is good, he'll show progress. If he's a bust, then you know that the offseason will be a time to scout and scour for free agency. The Cowboy front office won't accept marginal play, especially at the QB position. Gotta let him play, good or bad, so that decisions can be made. Besides, the court of public opinion does have its place in the decison making process. Fans buy the gear, the tickets...etc. Have to respect them, even though you need not do their bidding.

Czarina Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Please see the Kurt Warner vs. Eli Manning thread. Yes, he apparently could be worse than the veteran, given the notion that Manning > Henson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispirons Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 henson may never make it as an nfl qb. being off of football for 2 yrs isn't helping him or his cause any. i honestly think they need to go a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I think Warner might be available next year...someone get on the phone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
