I understand frustration.
I agree that Weeden was horrible.

But I find it ironic that one of the guys who was burying Randle this week for throwing him under the bus, went demonstrative multiple times on the sidelines, openly showing up Brandon Weeden.

I didn't like Dez doing it.
I didn't like T. Will doing it.
I didn't like Murray doing it.

We were still in the middle of the game when a lot of the tantrums were being thrown. No way that helps Weeden improve anything in the middle of a game.

I thought it was juvenile, and I thought it was bush league.

I LOVE DEZ BRYANT. Love T. Will and love Murray. I want them all on my team. But I was disappointed with that today.

I saw nothing directed only at weeden . You must've seen it different .

I take it a little bit different than you did. I love the emotion and frustration they showed on the sidelines. Shows that this team has really turned the corner and is eager to win. Some call antics, I call it leadership. Not saying you in particular, but when a quarterback shows emotion it's considered "just being a leader". Why can't it be considered the same thing when other players do it?!

Hard to know what was really going on. It's really easy to misinterpret emphatic body language. We learned that last year, with Dez. And it only came out once the audio was released.

As passionate as those guys are its easy to see why they were throwing tantrums. I would be EXTREMELY upset if my QB played like he was in middle school again. Now it wasn't just his fault but he would be reason #1 why they lost.

I saw Dez give the whirly bird hand signals around his head at Weeden. And frankly, if you have played competitive sports you understand the boundaries. You may FEEL it, but you don't show it. You don't show up a team mate. I know there were times in the early days when Irvin had to be frustrated with Aikman. Never saw him show him up. I was as frustrated with Weeden as all of you. He STUNK. Period. But I still don't approve of a lack of maturity by his team mates. If I misread them, then I will stand corrected. But whether directed right at him or not, if it is public complaining, eye rolling, and all that rest, it just isn't helpful.

Maybe Weeden found a few of those footballs he threw when he went under the bus

True. So I will concede that. As I say, if I misread it, then I will retract. But if I didn't, it is exactly what I say it was. Wrong.

Dez didn't help with those drops either. He gets very little separation, so the pass has to be perfect. Romo can do that. Most can't.

I see QBs yelling at there receivers when they run wrong or poor routes, what's wrong with receivers doing the same when their QBs are off? Give me a break! Weeden has been playing ball all his life he understands.....

It's like throwing to Anquan Bolden, you've got to be accurate. However Dez is darn near unstoppable when he has to extend his hands and go up for a jump ball, he's not nearly a good route runner to get separation.

My question is this...Weeden was Horrible in Cleveland, why did anyone, including JJ or JG think it would be any different in Dallas??? That's a case of very bad scouting department work....

Activate Romo for Jax and treat it like the 3rd preseason game and beat the brakes off Jax by halftime.

"Now listen, Brandon. Here's what you gotta do...."

Tony Romo is pulling for his guy, trying to do what Tony is going to one day do best. Be an excellent coach! I sure as heck hope so. He will be a great coach one day, if that's what he wants to do. It's certainly what he needs to do, he is a Natural! And he looks great and professional in the dark blue Cowboys coach garb, with the headset and all...
