We only got 6 points against the Pats. How do you keep the QB who was part of that?

He'll be benched.

When Romo gets back, I would outright release him....unless we are out of the playoff picture, then i'd start Weeden for the rest of the season and play for a top 5 pick.

I could not understand why Phil Simms kept saying that they would not change QB's during the buy week.. I almost felt like people want Dallas to fail sometimes and are trying to convince them to keep Weeden as the starter. The guy is out of excuses when you can't throw to an open guy and you can't even sidestep in the pocket to buy a second to make a throw and just choose to check down outside of the normal read progression. Then you blame it on not having Dez on the field and other new players playing... the excuses just make it look that much worse. He's a fraud and he knows it.

There were open guys more 3 yards beyond the LOS. He is what he is. Do i think Cassell is better, probably, and the bye is the perfect time, Matt has had 3 weeks to digest the playbook and he has 2 weeks until the next game.

See...nobody is "really" leaking out any info....Yet.

Right now it is all pure speculation by various media members who are just trying read the tea leaves as they see them right now.

And until Jerry, Stephen or Jason say Cassel is the starter...I won't believe it.

Good thing is we have a full bye week to work on things and get people healthy.

Bad thing is we have a full bye week where this front office will probably refuse to name the starter even if they already have decided and we have
to wallow in our self loathing and crappy record with the idea that Weeden may well indeed be the starter.

We had closed practices all week and didn't change a thing on offense. We are playing checkers in the dark.

It better be a smokescreen.

I'm going to get killed for this and I don't agree, but I think their is a good chance Weeden is still the QB after the bye.

Pat isn't down there at Valley Ranch day in and day out. It's really no different than any poster making a thread here and giving their opinion on what they think will happen.

I think those closed practices were just for the defense lol

That was Garrett playing reverse psychology. Let Bellicheat think they are changing things up but will come out and surprise them with the same gameplan. That sneaky Jason.............................about as creative as he gets :(

He'll get it done, alright...the question is, what will he get done?

Right now, I just need Garrett to get it done. We can't let the Giants get out of reach. Stop trotting out Weeden when we all know he can't get it done. Get Cassell ready during the bye. Play CMike and stop this RBBC crap. If Dez won't be ready after the bye, see if there is a reasonable trade out there for. WR. If Leary is hurt, put in Collins.

If we get more of the same, that is the definition of insanity. So sick of watching this episode of the Twilight Zone or, better yet, Ground Hog Day.

good way of putting it.

to be more specific we are likely using checkers strategies with rooks and pawns from our chess set on a chess board in the dark.
