I put some thought into this important, and Brandon Weeden is useless

ROFL.

Weeden came in and led us to scoring drives in his first two drives of the season and his Cowboys career.


He backed that up with a shoddy game to be sure but it was against arguably the best defense in football this year.
They gave up 6 points total to Detroit and Calvin Johnson yesterday.


Weeden has value as a back up which is what he is.
Orton might be a better player but he is would rather freeze and miss the playoff in Buffalo so he can bite it.

I hope you didn't hurt yourself while coming to this realization. It was painfully obvious that he wasn't an NFL QB in Cleveland.

A bad situation - Your 34 year old franchise QB is coming off his 2nd back surgery in two years. Putting in doubt how well he can play and for how long in 2014.

A bad situation made worse - Having Brandon Weeden as your only veteran option should the starter go down.

It's really outstanding GM work.

You guys have excuses for days. Weeden actually has a handful of games worse than what we saw against Arizona. He has only had 1 start in his career with a QB rating over 100. Arizona's defense had nothing to do with him staring down one receiver or missing guys by 10 yards.
 
Close game? What game were you watching? Weeden was beyond horrible...
Weeden's play that day was almost as terrible as your assessment..,

We probably could have beaten Washington if Romo never came back into the game. Then he goes into Arizona the next week and we lose a close game to the league's best defense who is 9-1 and just beat the second best team in the NFC with their backup QB.

We should trade for Brady so can back up Romo and trade for Manning so he can back up Brady when he's backing up Romo. These guys grow on trees right?
 
Pretty much any team that has to rely on the backup is screwed. Theres a pretty big drop off from a starting qb to a back up for most teams.

Yes...and how is Romo's ex backup doing in Buffalo as a starter.....:laugh:
 
Cowboys couldn't afford anyone. I think Weeden might be one of the lowest-paid 2nd string QBs in the league...and for a reason.
 
Weeden serves his purpose...Vaughan is learning from one of the best, and one of the worst.....:laugh:.....need comparisons....

Didn't do much last Thursday, 9 point effort.
Be the starter, take the blame in a league that you are as good as your last game
People been doing this to Romo for years, so others are fair game too.

No one was complaining about stare downs or bad misses against Washington when he was the QB leading scoring drives and had a QB rating of 145.
The crying comes from one game versus the best defense we've seen by far.
It is what it is.

He wasn't very good in CLE but a lot of QBs had that issue so hard to blame it all on his talent level.
No one wants Weeden to start but at a back up spot for his price that is a good fit.

We paid Orton 3.5m a year to come in and lose us the only game that mattered last year and the only time he was called on in 2 years.

and where there isn't a lot of dropoff, the starter sux.

Romo might not have. Arizona is a good team. Hard to evaluate Weeden based on one game against a team that makes QBs and RBs look bad (only team to hold Murray under 100 yards). If he would have played against Jacksonville and stunk it up, then it would be fair to criticize him. He played well when he came in against Washington. I still wish we would have kept Orton though.

OK, let's be realistic. It was easy to evaluate Weeden against Arizona. His passes were awful.

It would be different if no players were open or he was constantly getting beat up in the pocket, but that wasn't what happened.

He did fine against Washington ... don't know if we would have won if he had stayed in ... but the Arizona performance was more in line with what he has shown in the past and preseason.

What veteran QB did you want?

They went into the offseason believing they'd get Orton to comeback which was clearly what they wanted.

Instead Orton cried, retired, got cut and un-retired.

Now I suppose they could have went all out for the gem that is Mark Sanchez to be the back up. I mean that worked out so great for Philly yesterday.

This isn't really all that hard. Unless your defense is outstanding then the majority of the time if you're going to your back up then you're screwed.
