Matt Cassel was as advertised

[DallasCowboys2080]

LOL at least we have some sort of deep threat with Cassel even he turns the ball over. with Weeden we don't and clogs up our entire offense. It sucks that we have to choose between these two but it is what it is. Weeden does nothing for us. He is way more limited than Cassel. Weeden is too safe (because of his lack of talent) and we don't have any midrange or deep game at all with him. While Cassel is more risky and dangerous at least he does show some bits of magic every now and than. Some pulse. This offense moves better with him rather than Weeden. Not great or maybe not good but its better. I know thats not saying much but for gawd sakes Weeden is not any better at all.

The team ran for 200+ yards because the QB wasn't WeDone. Two of those interceptions were on Cassel, but one effectively served like a punt and our defense let them go all the way down the field and score three points. The Williams one for a pick six was throwing to a spot where Williams should have been. The other was a great read by the DB. Any team that runs for over 230 yards should win the game. The season has been a bunch of bad luck that seems to pile it on.

That's because Weeden checked down 90% of the time

As effective as the Cowboys were running the ball a more conservative QBing approach today might have gotten them a win.

lol, please. Cassel had zero to do with the running game, it was all on the OL. You were another one of the happy fans hyping up Cassel as an improvement over Weeden, and Cassel just turned in the worst Cowboy QB performance of the year with both the lowest rating and Total QBR. Time for you to go sit down some where. Cassel is worse than Weeden, until proven otherwise.

They were effective because Cassel was throwing down field, regardless of the mixed results.

It isn't the same thing as a punt. It was 2nd and 7 from the 40. 5-6 yards gets you a FG.

3 picks, including a pick 6 is mixed results?

You're dumb. That's about as much of a response you deserve after responding with this to what I wrote.

So you would have been happy with Weeden chucking down the field for a another couple of interceptions per game?

 

[Oh_Canada]

He was rusty, but made some terrific throws mixed in with the garbage.

Weeden was too scared to chuck it down field.

Weeden is no longer the QB for that reason.

When the mixed results are three INT's and only one TD you're not going to win many games with that. We can't be turning the ball over having a defense that can't force any. Nothing will cost you games like turnovers.

How many games did you win with check down charlie?

Turnovers and not scoring points.

There were times when Cassel should've checked down instead of making a bad decision down the field. The Cowboys aren't going to win by checking down all day or making poor decisions down the field that lead to turnovers.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Knock off the name-calling or you'll be shut down. Got that? There were times when Cassel should've checked down instead of making a bad decision down the field. The Cowboys aren't going to win by checking down all day or making poor decisions down the field.

What are you talking about? Weeden is check down charlie, got that?

I agree so move along with that nonsense, the either or will not get it done but they were running better because the passing down filed opened up the running game.

No, it didn't. But that's what you see when you "watch" the games on the radio.

[lostar2009]

Bill Belichick went 11-5 with that guy quarterbacking our team, if that doesn't say he's an all time great coach nothing does.

Our system must be fool proof because Cassel is really a terrible player.

I wish everyone would get off that. That happen almost 6 years ago and with one of the best coaching staffs in the league.

I edited my post I'm posting using my phone and misread your response. I contribute the running game today more on the way McFadden ran the ball and the blocking upfront not the downfield throwing. Simply can't win with a QB who's turning the ball over and a defense that's not forcing any.

 

[Kaiser]

You wouldn't believe how many people were telling me that the INT to Williams (picked off at the 1-yard line) was Williams' fault.

Did Williams miss with his shotgun when he shot at that duck?

Overall, I'm OK with Cassel considering he is new to the scheme and hasn't played all year. He will be better next week now that he has some reps under his belt - but he is never going to be starting material. Unfortunately, that is the state of QB talent in the NFL right now.

 

[Zman5]

Why are you here, again?

He wants to know how we are doing so he's informed when we see his team again in Febuary.
