News: Cole: Cowboys trade for Cassel

[CxC1993]

Makes sense.

 

[The Quest for Six]

We're out of low round picks...Imma scared.

plenty of compensatory picks coming next spring

 

[RunDMC]

He sucks. He's absolutely no better than QBs you can find in the market right now.

This is dumb.

Are you for real? This guy nearly took the Pats to the playoffs in 2008 when Brady tore his ACL and took Kansas City to the postseason in 2010 I believe.

Cassell is as good as we could get right now.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

ive always thought he could be something. what he did in new england for an entire season was no fluke

 

[Craig]

Let him learn the playbook while weeden starts a week or two and if weeden cant cut it move one.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Ok, I think they're doing this us so they move Moore back to the PS later.

 

[sureletsrace]

Well good. Now were back to 2 back QB's that can't play.

Yeah, I mean why can't the stupid Front Office go and sign a Pro Bowl QB? They're everywhere, all you have to do is look. ****ing idiots.

 

[Idgit]

This makes sense, and says the team really does think it can still contend. Not sure what people were expecting to get on the QB scrap heap this time of year, but we did our diligence: brought in a couple free agents, didn't like what we saw, so we gave a trivial amount to get the guy we liked best out there. We could do worse than playing Cassel as our third option once he knows the system. The fact that he played in MIN under Turner in 2014 might have been a factor, if there's overlap between his system and Garrett/Linehan's at this point.

 

[xvendettax914]

Wow! That has to be a kick in the *** for Moore and Linnehan.

This move wasnt made without a group consultation.

 

[EST_1986]

Im in the Weeden corner until like I'm guessing the 3rd quarter Sunday, then Im in the Cassel corner

Cassell is as good as we could get right now.

yup. and then he got stuck on a crappy KC team with a horrible coaching staff.

 

[Screw The Hall]

I like it.

 

[Aven8]

Lighten up Francis.

 

[loublue22]

I trust the scouts, if they liked him over Flynn and Ponder then so be it. We're just trying to tread water here, no one we put out there is going 7-0, no one is replacing what Tony provides.

 

[sureletsrace]

New England plugged him in for Brady and made the playoffs.

I don't see why the Cowboys couldn't do the same, except for the fact he needs to learn the playbook and start working on timing with the receivers.

He better get here and get to work pronto..

 

[conner01]

We're out of low round picks...Imma scared.

Swapped late round 2017 picks

 

[xvendettax914]

At this point I have no reason to not trust in what they have been doing. Also weeden did have a concussion, I'm sure they want someone who could relieve him and continue to keep this team competitive for when Tony is back.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Yeah, I mean why can't the stupid Front Office go and sign a Pro Bowl QB? They're everywhere, all you have to do is look. ****ing idiots.

It's true, I look at ESPN and there's Steve Young. I look at Fox and there's Troy Aikman. I look at CBS and there's Phil Simms. They're everywhere I look!

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Let him learn the playbook while weeden starts a week or two and if weeden cant cut it move one.

I want weeden to be better. I have big doubts.

Throw weeden out there STILL not knowing what he is doing?

Or

Throw Cassel out there and go through some "real time" growing pains?

 

[sureletsrace]

Lighten up Francis.

You're the one up in arms that the Cowboys didn't go trade a bag of chips for Tom Brady.

This is about as good as it gets at this point in the season, brother.
