Great QB news: Cassel a possibility

[MichaelWinicki]

It very well could be.

And if it is... well we can start looking at which offensive skill player is going to be most likely to be available when the Cowboys draft.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

We need to put some good money into a backup QB next year. Imagine Josh McCown starting for this team.

Cassel is a good backup. I believe he'll still be under contract next year. He's the guy you go into next year with as your backup and you feel fairly confident that you're covered there, IMO.

Interesting

 

[superonyx]

Nope. They both stink and if you think Cassel will be a major improvement you are fooling your self. This team has nobody that scares a defense right now and the play calling is awful. Cassel wont even move the needle.

I believe Cassell is a big enough improvement over Weeden to make the move one that can only help. Cassell may not be Tony Romo or Brady but he is a competent NFL QB and competent NFL QB's can read a defense well enough to force the defense to respect the passing game. Weeden is not.

Give me a worse QB that is playing in this league than Brandon Weeden. Heck most teams have backups that are far superior to Weeden. Mark "butt fumble" Sanchez is better than Weeden.

I hope this means they've talked Kyle Orton out of retirement.

At this point the rest of the team will respond better to Cassel being back there.

That's arguable, at best. They could also get worse. What if Cassel goes out and throws 3 picks off the bat? Weeden hasn't really turned the ball over too much. It can be worse.

 

[CyberB0b]

Here we go again, that's all you fall back on over and over. Our wr's can't get open. Doesn't matter if they are open, Weeden OVERTHROWS. And WILL NOT look at any receiver option past the 1st 2.

Look, I am not a Weeden homer. I never wanted him here in the first place. He is a first class loser. With that said, what do you think the 3rd string QB on the Bills will give you? This is the guy on his 4th team in 3 years. He may be better than Weeden. That wouldn't be difficult. He won't be good enough to win games in this league, and that is the truth. You have to start questioning who thought Weeden was capable of managing this team in the first place. The problem is systemic.

I'm ready to try something different. Wouldn't mind seeing more of Michael , cassell, and Collins . Maybe give this offense a spark

 

[darthseinfeld]

Good chance Bryant plays our next game

A loss is a loss is a loss.

I watched Cassel during the preseason with Buffalo... he was better than what Weeden is now.

So your argument is preseason? You are just wasting bytes of space at this point, and you know it. You don't have a cogent argument supporting your position.

Then why has Cassell done that very thing?

Why did he take a Kansas City to the playoffs in 2010?

Why did he lead a Pats team to 11 wins in 2008?

Weeden is what Weeden has always been. He didn't wake up the last couple of weeks and regress. He was a loser with the Browns and he's doing nothing differently here than he's always done.

My issue is that Weeden's shortcomings should have been apparent in the off-season and camp, not to mention last year's off-season and camp. Weeden never had "it" to lose. This coaching staff and talent evaluators failed miserably at the most important position on the team, That is very concerning to me looking long term.

I remember complaining about Weeden 2 years ago and being told he wasn't as bad as I thought. I watched him plenty in Cleveland and he was awful. He's never going to be a quality QB. I wasnt hard on him the last 2 weeks because he actually looked better that I thought he would. After tonight I'm ready to move on. I don't think Cassel will be much better but we have to try something. This organization has been awful with developing QBs aside from Romo.

At this point it doesn't matter what either thinks.

It will play itself out.

If Cassel can't turn things around then the Cowboys will have a decent draft spot come next year.

 

[darthseinfeld]

And if it is... well we can start looking at which offensive skill player is going to be most likely to be available when the Cowboys draft.

Even if we make a run I think we need to go skill position heavy in the draft. We need QB's, HB's and WR's

So your arguments are from 5 and 7 years ago? TO was an all pro 7 years ago. He hasn't been in the league since 2010.

 

[Bleu Star]

I'll believe it when I see it. They also said CM would be on the field, but that was to the tune of 1 carry a game.

Dumbest coaching I have seen in a very long time.

The grass is always greener. Romo will come back and get us back to where we aren't a league wide joke, as always. We won't have a decent draft spot as long as he is in the mix.

Oh no doubt.

Obviously Cassell is still in the league so I'm not sure where you're getting at. Cassell has had success as a starter. Weeden hasn't. He has a proven track record of being able to win games. Is he great? No, but at some point a change has to be made when you can't even manage to score a touchdown.
