Well, I mean..I don't think QC was nearly THAT good of a QB, but he seemed to be getting better or at least a bit more consistant....I mean heck, if he can QB a team to the playoffs, then that speaks volumes....I think Henson, though, will be starting before the season is out. Heck..I will even say by the fourth game this season, he'll start.

i dont guys, its easy to say that they will probably start Henson before the season is out, but Jerry Jones might not want him to. Look what luck they have already had with throwing baseball players into the game. I think they want to let this guy learn for a year, get back into form, and then hopefully step in like pennington did. This was their plan, it might change becuase carter is gone but I dont think they want to rush things with him

Let's not count our chickens, but I must admit I like that 18-0 score.
Beats having the stupidest and most limited in QC and Shatbrick from last year

Well. even though it was the Raiders, over top 2 QB's completed nearly 75% of their passes...we ran the ball very well with Jones and George who combined for 20 carries and 84 yards and a TD

Its amazing how good our WR's look when they have a QB they believe in

Our OL is WAAAAAAAAAYYYY ahread of even the most ardent Cowboys supporter thought it wold be..4/5 of our OL is set, and Larry Allen is looking better than he has since the late 90's

Believe it or not, our offense is ahead of our D..

We have major problems @ RCB, S (Woodson's out and his replacement Dixon is worse than awful) and DT where we have been gashed by surefire 1st ballot HOF'er Tony Hollings, Ty Wheatley and Justin Fargas

Getting Woodson back, DT Leo Carson healthy and CB Pete Hunter experience will go a long way.

While Wiley hasnt been great, he is a major upgrade over departed Ebenezer Ekuban

Parcells was easily able to deal with a coked up LT. Why can't he deal with QC?

Testaverde was 13-17 for 124 yards last nite with 0 ints

@ Houston he was 4-7 for 35 yards with no INT's

What was that fat, arrogant, stupid Parcells thinking when he released QuINTcy Retarder?

So I guess you're a Larry Allen fan then...

What's the scoop on Antonio Bryant? You think he could finally have a breakout year?

QC had marginal talent

LT was a HOF'er

Lets put it this way...wWould Antonio Bryant still be a Cowboy after throwing his Jersey in Parcells face if he wasnt talented?

QC had recently failed his 2nd drug test. Combine this with with his lack of maturity when he pouted about not getting a majority of the reps well after BP said "this is an open QB competition"

Then, after BP had announced this once again @ the beginning of camp, QC, a day later said, This isnt an open competition..Im the starter" openly defying BP

He even got in the face of OC Sean Payton and had a very spirited b!tchfest the nite before he got cut

Now, QC's talent...whose roster is he on right now?

soon to be in the CFL

LT is a hall of famer

QC is mediocre at best

It's a double standard but that's life in pro sports

Let me say from the start that I do not suspect that Drew Henson will play much for the Cowboys this year; and if he is forced to play a lot, the Cowboys will struggle. He's not ready yet.

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.

I think Henson will eventually play this season. Vinny will either get hurt, or Parcells will bench him.

I say Henson plays sooner rather than later.
