However, if you take a look, Henson is playing well in the exhibition games. In the first two games he is 15-26 for 147 yards. That's about 10 yards per completion which is good and about 6 yards per attempt which is about average.
Before someone screeches that he has only played against the opposition's scrubs, that is true. However, when Ramsey played against an opponent's scrubs, he didn't do anywhere near this well and no one here scorched his ass.
Also, remember that Henson kept Tom Brady on the bench at Michigan and Brady says that Henson is a helluva player. I think we need to keep our eye on Mr, Henson down there in Cowgirlville.

In an article a few years back, Joel Buchsbaum of PFW polled 10 GM's and asked them who they would prefer to take..Henson or Vick
7 said Henson
Preseason Game 1 for Henson
CP/AT YDS TD INT
D. Henson 8/11 94 0 1
Preseason game 2:
D. Henson 7/9 53 0 0
Thats 15-20...75% completion percentage, 7.35 per attempt
The INT @ Houston was a classic rookie mistake..Henson eyeballed his intended target and the Houston defender read Hensons eyes right to the ball
Although Henson didnt throw for a TD against the Raiders, Henson lead the Cowboys to their 1st preseason TD and completed 2 passes on the drive..Julius Jones did the rest on the ground
