Bash me now, but wrong QB

[Sasquatch]

It's too bad we couldn't combine their two assets....Weeden's arm strength, accuracy and throwing motion with Cassel's mobility and willing to take chances.

My sentiment as well. Alas, we have to choose one or the other.

Weeden played well enough against the Falcons and the Saints.

I think he played very well against the Falcons. The Saints performance was not nearly as good because he left too much yards and points on the field. The Patriots performance was pathetic.

I think what they really need is someone who can make sound, quick decisions. Of course, if you combine that with a strong, accurate arm, then you've got an elite starter. I'd settle for a weak arm and a quick brain. No one thought much of Garrett when he was a backup here, but I think even he could have pulled out a few victories with this squad over seven games.

I forget which panel of experts it was, either Fox or NBC, but they gave all responsibility for two of the interceptions to the receivers for poor routes and not fighting for the ball. Haven't watched the game yet myself.

I blame two picks on the receivers

Check down interceptions?

 

[Arkyvarminter]

There it is right there. Our genius decision makers decided Brandon Weeden was the next man up should Romo miss time. That evaluation cost the Cowboys the 2015 season. I'm not blaming Matt Cassel for being here a few weeks and throwing a some picks. He's a roster filler just getting familiar with this offense. It's was Weeden that ended the season.

They were praying Romo stayed upright, which is really what any team with a good QB is doing. Back ups don't win much, although Weeden is on the bottom of the backup list......

 

[Frosty]

Did that lead to more points? Did that lead to a win? You think anyone was threatened by this?

That ball was under thrown by at least 15 yards.

If you listen to The Break..Cassel's pass got caught in the wind....just the opposite thing happened to Beasley,,,he misjudged the ball because of the spiraling wind....They were at the game so they would know more than most of us here....

But hey Weeden would of completed that pass and scored the winning TD to boot.......RIGHT

I know what you are saying, but Weeden does not win that game by throwing underneath all game and getting sacked 4 times. If we would have won with Weeden playing you are basically saying the defense would have come up with enough plays to win the game, in spite of having maybe 9-13 points of offense. Weeden would not have even attempted any of those second level throws. If you replace every throw of greater than 8 yards with a 4 yard throw, that probably makes the running game look worse too. Part of the reason the running game was doing well was because the Giants defense was on the field more, because of the 27 first downs and well, unfortunately the turnovers and big plays. You can't just swap out part of the equation and substitute in a few select conservative plays. If that is what you want then Cassel just needs to be smarter next time about his choices, which he admitted to and addressed after the game. He basically said that he should not have gone after DRC, even though that is where his progressions lead him because he was really the only guy that could make a big play and it wasn't necessary to push it. So lets see if he test Sherman on those same routes or looks elsewhere. We should be able to compare the Seattle game to the Atlanta game since they run similar defenses, although Seattle has more talent at corner and safety.

I guess theres a reason why your named the Village Idiot. You wear it well.

lol where was williams running to? The parking lot?

Weeden wouldn't have seen TWill because he would have already thrown a two yd checkdown to Witten.

 

[erod]

Cassel isn't afraid to play quarterback in the NFL. Weeden is scared out of his ever-lovin' mind. Easy choice.

Did you not see Cassel sidestep the rush on multiple occasions? Weeden sidestepped a rush exactly zero times.

I once thought Weeden could get it done, but I know a chicken you-know-what when I see one. Done with him.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Think they respected him much after that lollypop throw for the deep int, or did coverage shallow after that? Again, most of his passes were exactly what we'd been throwing...Williams still only caught 4 passes, and most of those were short ones.

Weeden would have completed four passes if he is lucky. You think he drops that 30 yd pass into Witten's lap in between three defenders? Not in a million years does he even try. Team has no hope with that incompetent under center.

 

[wilfred]

Weeden had 3 chances, NO was winless. How many chances do you want to give him. It's always going to be, If he had just one more chance!?! Maybe he is just unlucky. Lol

It must be nice to live in your own fantasy world where you can make up reality as you go.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

So you are in the Kellen Moore camp, because that is a perfect description.

it lead to the running game opening up and should have lead to a win.The three turnovers, special teams play, and the refs hurt us. Cassel made some good throws in there but you choose to ignore them

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Weeden, Cassel...it doesn't matter. We can't win without Romo.

 

[Doomsday]

Weeden is more accurate and has a much bigger arm. Cant help but wonder if he could of won had the offensive line and running game played as well for him as they did for Cassel against the Giants.

One thing Cassel seems to do really well is throw the slant / crossing routes. We need to see ALOT more of those and less stuff down the sidelines to take advantage of his strengths. He had some really nice throws to Butler and Street on short crossing routes and a great throw to Witten on a scissors route. He just seems way more confident making those throws, as opposed to the deep ball down the sidelines.

 

[Coy]

Weeden should not be on an NFL roster, period.
