Brandon Weeden now has thrown for the exact same number of yards this season as Tony Romo (551)

Further proof stats can lie?

Words said by those who do not like what the statistics are saying!

And to Mr BP:As I posted last week; Romo was dinking and dunking the first two games as well.

You gonna delete this post as well !

no just ignore a infamous Romo hater- since you do not have the football intelligence to figure out what makes a top QB why should anyone listen to you at all?

Why won't our fans ever put losses at the feet of our defense where they so often belong? I mean, when it's obvious? I just don't get it.

If I hear one more person make a time of possession argument to me with a straight face, I'm going to go Kraken on him.

Ive been pleased with Weeden's performance the past 2 games. If the defnse had been able to play a little better the team would be 4-0 despite missing starting QB and top WR.

The reason why we are losing TOP is because the *defense* cannot get *itself* off the field. We are on pace for 12 forced turnovers for the year. And up until the Saints game we were 31st in sacks.

Weeden is far from perfect and he's nowhere near the same galaxy as Romo and I think if we had Romo, we probably win 1 of the last 2 games. But all things considered, he's played well for a backup and played well enough for us to win.

Romo eloquently ran the offense, he moved the ball at will and actually controlled the offense while keeping opposing defenses modest. Weeden on the other hand, not so much, but he's just a back up so that's to be expected. And something that's not talked about much, I believe part of the reason our offensive line is struggling so much is because Romo's not there to call everything out and properly line up everybody. Even though some here have criticized Romo's clock management, it's obvious Romo's pre-snap reads do wonders and actually work. As for dinking and dunking, if it's working then why change it? Did you honestly think Romo had problems moving the ball in the first 1 1/2 games? Because I didn't, and the best in the game (Tom Brady) will dink and dunk you all day.

I thought Weeden played well this past Sunday, my only gripe was when he throw back to back to back fade routes in the end zone to Terrance Williams. It was terrible decision making, as we just needed the first down and there was still 2:30 remaining on the clock. I mean what's the thought process there throwing 3 straight fades? Hell, if you connect on the first one we might as well take the L, because you just gave Drew Brees 2 minutes to score 3 points. I thought we should've ran it(at least once), or did a dump off pass out the backfield. That's something Weeden can correct, you don't have to be a talented passer to play smart and situational football.

As for the Atlanta game, I thought his performance was much worse (than the Saints Game). He never threatened the defense downfield, and even had a devastating turnover within our 20. I mean you don't even have to connect down field, at least keep the defense on their toes so they're not completely selling out on the run. Which is what happened, they realized Weeden was never going to threaten them deep, so they just stacked the box and shut us out the 2nd half.

Ok, and next week he's going to have more yards than Romo. The hell's the point of this thread? lol

That it took Weeden 2.5 games to equal Tony's 1.5 game yardage total??

Romo wins games and that's the bottom line !!!!

You are beink harsh tonight yes? I mean like harsh and stuff.

 

[darthseinfeld]

That's what I've been saying.

Obviously, I don't think Weeden is better than Romo or anywhere in the same galaxy. But, his performance has been incredibly efficient this season. He ranks 7th in the LEAGUE in FootballOutsiders.com's DVOA rankings.

The problems we've had in the past 2 games are far more defense related. It's not even remotely close.

It seems the staff ia becoming more confident in Weeden. They opened more in rhe Saints game then the Falcons. I hope it continues

Now this I can get behind a little bit. Claiborne and Patmon both have dropped passes that would have stopped drives deep in our territory. Those are huge! Our defense getting gashed at the end of the game has everything to do with TOP AND how they are taught to swarm to the ball every play. Most other players in the league don't run all out every play. Ours do and we miss turnovers or the offense can't sustain drives then they are screwed.

the point of winning games is to get to the playoffs and win.
I see no winning in the playoffs so I see Romo as a poor man's Danny White but without the playoff wins that Danny half.

Come on now, Dallas gets back DEZ and Romo, Gregory, we just got Hardy and McClain we are a playoff winner. Last year we were close to beating Greenbay !!!

 

[ROUSH8692]

This from SI's power rankings (Cowboys No. 18)

Brandon Weeden now has thrown for the exact same number of yards this season as Tony Romo (551). He has a better yards per attempt (9.3 to Romo's 7.7), a longer completion (67 yards to Romo's 39) and higher QB rating (108.8 to 98.8).

Where the defenses playing the same coverages? lol no.... to say the absolute least

 

[65fastback2plus2]

only stat that matters in this comparison (outside of W-L):

3rd down conversion rate


This determines if you're offense is giving the defense rest or not.

Wit Dez and Romo and Gregory, what can possibly go rong? We half been so successful with Romo and Dez in the past.

Sounds like you don't believe anymore ??? Tell me isn't so !!!

 

[cowboyuptx]

Weeden hasn't played up to his stats, but part of me feels that he's played better than what we can really expect from him over the course of 7 games... I'm a little worried that we've already gotten the best possible version of Brandon Weeden, and we're still 0-2 with him... What happens if (or likely when) he starts reverting back to the guy who had a QB Rating of 73 prior to this season? Scary to think about, but I think we'll somehow manage to win a couple of games with Weeden.

 

[Asklesko]

yet if romo were healthy, we would probably be 4-0. interesting how stats aren't everything.

I have always believed in Romo, a great QB with great personal stats. I half never believed Romo was a playoff-calibre QB. History half proven me correct every year. When Romo wins 2 consecutive games in the playoffs I will be a believer. But his greatness half a total of 2 playoff wins in his career. That to me is not leadership. That is spinning your wheels year after year and being lured into beliefing that we are a championship team when in fact we are strictly a mid-tier team -- with or without Romo and Dez.

 

[Doomsday101]

I think the big difference is Romo can make positive plays out of negative situation. When all is breaking down around him, Romo can escape and find his targets down the field to turn the negative into a positive. With Weeden when all is breaking down around him he has made the big mistakes for much of his career. Thus far he has made a big mistake in the Alt game throwing a pass that should have just been thrown away instead he throws while in a poor position and gets pick. Outside of that he has done good throwing it away or taking the sack.
