Much hate for Weeden.
Not hate, just don't think he can win ANY games if Romo goes down. As in none.

Nope.....
Didn't Austin Davis already sign somewhere else?
And on Weeden, he had 1 full week of prep last year and was surrounded by weapons. He still didn't do jack squat.

OK now what? I think he is OK until the pressure hits, like most QB's. If we can turn him into a bus driver we have a chance with this Oline.
If Cowboys place Romo on IR eligible to return then they need another QB. If that QB doesn't have any experience in Garrett's system, then it makes more sense to lean on the OL and running game by implementing read option system. This would play to our strength instead of relying on QBs who are not very good or with limited experience/skill sets. There is a reason these guys are available or back up players.
Tebow or Pryor would be my preferences to run read option, even if only as a special package, e.g. goal line, short yardage and/or 2 point conversions. Running the ball (whether its QB or RB, makes no difference to me) controls the clock, limits mistakes and plays to the OL's supposed strengths.
We are working on three games into the season so our options are bottom of the barrel, I am starting to think the defense can keep us in most games if we stop the turnovers and penalties. Tebow and read option with this Oline sounds intriguing.
Our defense works best against teams with offenses that like to spread defenses out. If we get a team that likes to hammer up the gut, Cowboys D will wear down. Especially while Ro and Hardy are out. Atlanta will be interesting since they are run oriented but their best receivers are nicked, I'm more concerned about NE, they love to set up the middle seam routes for big plays by keeping everything underneath first.
We would of been concerned with NE even with Tony and Gregory back on the starting team.
Atlanta Oline is a hot mess, they will be throwing quick strikes to the backs and Julio Jones, not a lot of deep passes although I think he could easily make those.
With Romo, we could keep up with them on offense, trading TDs, now not so much. Atlanta will be running Freeman with Coleman out with broken ribs, he is more of a hammer. These are kind of backs that we've had trouble with in past.

This part was in reference to Brady and the Pats, so apologies if not clear. Not worried about Atlanta actually, not saying it will be easy with Weeden and company but if the same D shows up like they did first 2 games then even with Weeden it should be a win.
