Weeden happy to see Jerry Jones watch playoffs from couch

[Jarv]

Garrett essentially backed that up with his comments today that his offensive system works for anyone and he is happy with it.

Are you kidding me, did anyone follow up that question and ask why it hasn't worked for 3 different QBs this year?

 

[WoodysGirl]

He's had great success there in two games. 2-0.

Our system with any QB not named Romo is 1-10.

And the Texans supposedly have a worse team/talent/coach.

He came in relief for TJ Yates. Again, I watched both games. Success is so relative. I got nothing against Weeden. For all intents and purposes, he's a good guy. I think it's overstatement to say he led the Texans to anything, tho.

Texans have been plugging and playing guys all year. Kudos to them for treading water in a craptastic division.

LOL

Weeden giving the middle finger to the Cowboy organization........"enjoy watching me in the playoffs from your couch losers"

Too funny, I would probably be doing the same if I was him

And I would as well.

Look, we all know he sucks. He has the track record.

But when he was benched and then later released in a symbolic move to activate Romo, I can't blame him for the bitterness.

He can now save some face. Good for him.

All we had to do was tread water in a craptastic division. It's clear that the same QB can win in the exact situation for one team and not the other. A lot of people see that and feel that way. You do not and I respect you so that's fine.

Apparently not.

I'vne never see a coach for this high profile Cowboys team get such a pass from the media. Sturm and Gosselin are the only 2 I can think of that even tread into the subject of Garrett's fitness for office.

The media LOVES Garrett. Jerrah loves that.

Has to be. Especially since he was scapegoated far more than Cassel.

The first one always gets the worst of it .. basically his play created the numbness with his bad performance and Cassel's worse performance benefited from it because the season was already on life support by then. Weeden was expected to keep the team in contention until Romo returned and by the time Cassel replaced him, the only expectation from Cassel was to win a game or two before Romo came back.

 

[mattjames2010]

I know right -- his 93 QB rating without having Dez on the field was a crime against quarterbacking.

The games he was in wasn't that long ago. We all remember his second half against the Falcons, most of the Saints game, and all of the Patriots. That rating does not match the reality of his performance, and you know better than this.

He had his opportunity here to do the exact same thing here that he did for the Texans and he failed. A lot of people see that and feel that way. You do not. See how that works?

Could he have started a little longer? Maybe. But he got a shot here and it didn't work out. Easier to blame the coaches than his very questionable on-field performance. *shrug*

And Cassel made it so Moore was the Next Coming lol

 

[TheDude]

Risen could have a 90+ QB rating when he's only throwing the football 15 feet in front of him

and @Amy50632 would be dead from fawning and passing out witnessing that

The coach blaming comes from 1-10 without Romo. 3 different QBs. One of them 2-0 with a team supposedly worse than us on paper.

How many 1-10 coaches avoid blame in the NFL besides Jason Garrett?

Indeed. The bar was set really low by that point.

It was still a raw deal in retrospect.

I am the last person to feel sorry for ineptitude, but I think there has been a lot of reliance on his failures to excuse other really big issues with this team.

If I am grading on pure performance, Cassel was worse.

 

[Zman5]

Yeh, Houston has a great defense and that may be the main reason they won but he made the plays to score those TDs to help them win .

It's sad that he's been here 2 years and couldn't do squat yet he goes to Houston for 2 weeks and is throwing TDs and winning.
That should tell you it wasn't all Weeden's fault that he sucked here.

You're mixing points.

You can blame the coach all day long for this waste of a season, but only Weeden is responsible for his on-field play fo the time he was here. That's the main point.

 

[windward]

The team made the wrong move by putting in Cassel.

That much has proven to be true, at least in hindsight.

 

[Bleu Star]

Texans fans are having a field day with this storyline.

http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl-new...texans-cowboys-jerry-jones-criticism-playoffs

I knew it was just a matter of time. This is the perfect storm and the catalyst is one Brandon Weeden.

1. 4 win season
2. Incredible media criticism of yet another lackluster season filled with excuses
3. The pinnacle.... Brandon Weeden leading the other Texas team to the playoffs!

The perfect ******* storm to take Jerry over the edge and FORCE real change.

I LOVEEEEE it.... ..

No he's not. The system shares blame. That's the whole point. And the defense or do you forget the 39 Atlanta hung on him and the epic fail of the defense vs NO after Weeden drove us down to tie the game?

 

[plasticman]

Weeden played well here.

He didn't get half the support given Cassel.

Brandon Weeden is now the 9th rated QB in the NFL.

Just so everyone knows, replacing him with Cassel was Jerry Jones's decision.

If they had stuck by Weeden then they might have had a chance to win.

Not only that, but Weeden could have been the bridge between the time Romo was through, most likely next season, and the time they had a legitimate future QB ready to start.

There's no question that Cassel was worse than Weeden. The defense is the only reason we won the one game with Cassel. That said, Weeden's performance wasn't much better.
