.....by say, one game, would Brandon Weeden go down as one of your most disliked Cowboys of all time? If not, who would you rank ahead of him?

Why? This happened when we had Romo and Dez. Why would I blame Weeden for something has had happened on multiple occasions before Weeden got here?

I blame the other QB too who threw as many passes to the Giants as he did to our guys.

That was a huge division game and very winnable. and he blew it.

I don't get the free pass that Cassel gets. He sucks too.

Everyone on this team is hapless without Romo. It's pathetic

Off the top of my head all I can think of is Antonio Bryant. Never really did anything and was finally traded after he refused to come out of a game. Parcells had to call timeout and forcibly remove him from the field of play.

I can't even hate Ratliff as much as that because Ratliff has some extremely productive seasons. Plus, I wonder if he has some form of early onset CTE with the way he's acting.

If they called me today and told me to play QB for the Dallas Cowboys and get paid for it, I would sell out every last one of you people and throw interceptions like a BOSS!

The Dallas coaches are the ones that astonishingly could not see what every fan that watched Weeden play real football could. Can't blame Weeden for that.

Not even close. He failed because he is just not very good. As far as I know, he is not an *******, is not disloyal to the team, and has given what he has, as limited as that may be. People get upset at players who were high draft picks (Claiborne, anybody?) that don't live up to expectations...it's not their fault they were drafted high...they didn't draft themselves. Kind of the same with Weeden. If you must blame someone, then blame the brain trust that brought him in. Weeden isn't even on my radar for "dislike". There are a bunch of former players that are, though. Just my 2 cents.

You can't just put all the blame on Weedan, the rest of the team did not show up. Weedan did his part in the Atlanta and Saints game and gave us a chance to win. For me the blame would be too many injuries to key players.

This team this team was built to win a Super Bowl. During the off season, the front office focused on improving the D line. There is only so much money and time. Sure, we could have gotten a better back up QB, or better DBs or Lg or RT, but the focus was on improving the D line. They saw that as the element that they needed to get to the big game.

There is no blame if this team doesn't make the playoffs. If Romo had not been hurt, Garrett and Jerry would have been the best combo since Tex and Tom. Stuff happens. We were not going to get to the big game without an elite QB and those are not laying around as back ups. There is still time, but it depend on Tony and Dez.
