All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Now aren't you glad that we didn't trade for Henson
Now aren't you glad that we didn't trade for Henson
BILLS did the right thing trading for J.P. Losman and not Drew Henson he's terrible he was 4/12 and he sat the bench in the second 1/2 after he threw a terrible interception to R.W. McQuarters (what a terrible pass) Drew Henson will be the next Ryan Leaf in the NFL I guarantee it!!!
He couldn't cut it in MLB and he won't cut it in the NFL!!!

I agree with you, i'd prefer Losman over Henson, but to play devils advocate, how is it fair to pick on a QB who played last week (at one point went 6 for 6 and a TD) and before then he didn't play in like 4 years, when our QB comes to play in New England, gets 5 plays and gets 2 turnovers out of those 5 plays.
If you just wanna judge both players ONLY BASED on what we've seen so far, neither guy will ever lead his team to the playoffs. However, i think Losman will be a solid NFL qb, but i think Henson, has a career in the NFL also. He might not be a star, but i think he'll be good enough to remain a starter for years.

It is pathologically premature to write off either Henson or Losman this early in their careers.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I'm glad we didn't have a chance at Eli or Rivers, either. Jeez, those guys really suck.

Yes, I hereby declare that Losman and Henson will be putrid busts for the rest of their careers. I don't need to see any more of them. What they do now is entirely indicative of anything they will ever do. What I've seen is enough. It's time for judgment.

I believe that Eli Manning should be consigned to your scrap heap of putrid busts as well, based on his insipid one game career.

FACT 1: Other than Ben Roethlisberger, who has a top 5 OL, a top 5 set of WR's, a top 5 D and whose team runs 2/3 of the time, and Dan Marino, I can't think of one single example of a rookie QB who did not struggle in his first season, never mind first half of play. Over 20+ years what does that make the odds of immediate success? In fact, it usually takes 3 years before an NFL QB blossoms. To make proclamations about Drew Henson after 1/2 of one game, especially since he only played a year and a half in college as a starter and hasn't played at all in almost 4 years is plain stupid.
Fact 2: The Bills did not pass on Henson because they did not like him as a player. In fact the Bills were the only team to send their HC, QB coach and GM to watch him work out. The reason the Bills passed on Henson was money, pure and simple. They did not want to pay him a ton this year to sit and watch, which up to now is what he's done in Dallas.
If this thread is any indication of the threads bashing Losman after a small sample of play (and I'm certain it is) fasten your seat belts boys and prepare to have your minds numbed.

Don't forget that Henson's agent is another primadonna like McGahee's demanding to paid as if he was a top player even though he did not show anything in NFL yet. The Bills may have decided that dealing with one primadonna was enough.

The Bills knew pretty much what they were going to need to pay when they drafted McGahee. They also were well aware of the fact that he was a medical risk and that he wouldn't play for a year. The fact is that ALL draft picks have not shown anything in the NFL yet many are paid as if they are already stars. The difference between McGahee's deal and Henson's no-deal is the Bills found middle ground with McGahee and they couldn't with Henson. Bottom line? Rosenhaus is a pompous ass but IMO Henson's agent was worse, at least from the Bills standpoint.
i wasn't writing them off.i just didn't agree with how we got him.
I felt the same way earlier in the season, when we were looking at a possible top5 pick in the upcoming draft.
But it looks like we're probably giving Dallas a pick somewhere between 10-20, and looking at the upcoming draft, I just dont see any QBs worth taking after Rodgers (who'll definately be a top10 pick). That and our definate need for a future QB for next season (can you imagine if Bledsoe was our starter again next season?) I really dont mind what we gave up for Losman.
