Jerry Jones: You won’t see a more gifted passer than Brandon Weeden

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones thinks Cowboys General Manager Jerry Jones made a brilliant move when he signed Brandon Weeden as the backup quarterback.

Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that Weeden has all the tools to fill in capably for the injured Tony Romo.

“This quarterback Weeden can drive the ball down field,” Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “He’s a thing of beauty on throwing a football. His passing motion and his arm, frankly, you won’t see a more gifted passer, power, accuracy, the entire aspect of it. If he can basically prepare, be the starting quarterback, come in and execute and keep his head right, then I feel good about Weeden.”

Unless Jerry Jones is talking about a different Brandon Weeden than the one who washed out after two seasons and a 71.8 passer rating in Cleveland, those comments are just a wee bit ridiculous. But Jones insists that Weeden will prove he is a different quarterback than he was then.

Someone has been hitting the Johnny Walker a little early.

every espn show, radio show, they'll all have fun with this quote.

 

[CATCH17]

Please don't be the guy that misinterprets Jerrys quote when you know exactly what he means.

Weeden the Wonderful. Weeden the Wizard or if he prefers Wiz. Don't mess with the Weed

 

[Jammer]

Being a good passer doesn't necessarily equate to being a good QB.

file this under tickets still need to be sold.

Being a good passer doesn't necessarily equate to being a good QB.

And this is exactly right.

It's like when Romo said he can't judge a qb until he sees how quickly he thinks and processes information. Weeden struggles in this regard but he does have a pretty arm.

More like 'Don't worry it's just a small atomic weapon. Duck and tuck'.

Struggles is a kind assessment. Maybe the lights have come on.

Someone has been hitting the Johnny Walker a little early.

So he basically said he has a strong arm and nice delivery. What's the big deal about that?

Jerry Jones always has been and always will be the ultimate salesman. For the sake of the team. I hope he's right. But it is very understandable to be dubious of his claims.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

I hate the way PFT writes. He is the running Exec of the year and he's surrounded himself by top end talent evaluators, yet they write about him like it's still 2007. Cheap laughs type of deal

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Struggles is a kind assessment. Maybe the lights have come on.

He does have a pretty arm. And yes struggles is being kind. But it's time to support him until he can be supported no longer.

Jerry is right
Weeden is a very gifted passer
He can make every throw
And Jammer is right
There is much more to being a QB than just being a good passer
I think if we can get the penalties under control and the oline playing good football we can manage to stay in the race till tony returns
But Weeden is gonna need help, mostly from the oline but the defense is also going to have to keep playing great ball and getting turnovers

 

[Direwolf63]

And this is exactly right.

It's like when Romo said he can't judge a qb until he sees how quickly he thinks and processes information. Weeden struggles in this regard but he does have a pretty arm.

No doubt the offense will be simplified. You won't see Weeden killing plays at the LOS the way Romo does. Romo has a lot of freedom to change things around before the snap. Weedens leash will be much shorter. He's a backup for a reason.

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

Jerry's bad at words, but all he's trying to say is that Weeden is a physically gifted passer, which he is.
