I hope we lose.

Not to play devil's advocate, but I remember a time way back when when we had a young QB chomping at the bit to play and be the starting QB for the Cowboys, but Tom Landry wouldn't play him. His name is Danny White. Danny sat for 5 years behind Staubach before finally getting his chance to shine. He got his opportunity and played very well with what he had.

Let's give Parcells a little leeway. Now I'm not comparing him to Landry, nor am I supporting the signing of Bledsoe, but if Henson needs a little more time, I'm OK with sitting him for one more year. If he doesn't play next year, then I'll be pissed.

It seems that BP does not like B.Cundiff. I dont think BP wants to waste time with a rookie kicker again. He drafted one with the Pats and cut him that year i think. There seems to be alot of vets out there that could be looking for a new job. Vanderjaqt, Feely and Nedney. Who do you like.

I can't believe people would even say "I hope we lose". Why? what if Drew played well enough to get us to 9-7 or 10-6. He is not superbowl material, but what's wrong with him doing well enough to allow the rest of the offense to learn. Henson would hinder everybody else jelling. what if bledsoe was good enough for another couple of years and let henson develop into an NFL quality player. Bledsoe offered the best viable option out there and it helped hedge our bets against henson not developing. If Henson develops then great. if not then we at least have a viable option.
