Weeden has million dollar arm and a two dollar brain. Outside the pocket, slides for a loss rather than ruin his stats with a throw away.

The DL is looking crappy when Nick Hayden is the only one of them making plays.

That is the thing I find Ironic about Weeden...His strength IMO is his arm strength but he struggles with accuracy and no longer trusts it so now he is a strong armed old man Brad Johnson Captain Checkdown.

Oh, and one more thing: Is Witten contractually obligated to commit at least one false start per game?

I honestly believe anxiety takes him over. He washed out of Major League Baseball despite all of his in physical tools and high 90's fastball. I think the moments are just too big for him. He gets anxious and folds. He needs a sports psychologist but the Cowboys don't have time for that. Cassell has to be starting as soon as possible.

Oh the old flashback to Brad Johnson weak quickly failing arm...
The difference is Weeds can actually sling it still. So he takes his aggression out on body catching WR's by throwing high speed lasers from close range.

Ouch....I just cant cosign any Witten criticism considering we was almost our entire offense at times. I though the Weeds got Wittens ribs broken on that one high pass.

They take Crawford and D Law out the game Hayden with one on one

Because the Falcons played heavy coverage on obvious passing downs.

Our predictability offensively put him in a situation where all he could really do was check it down or heave it into heavy coverage.

That slide should be the last play he executes in the NFL. That's just absolutely inexcusable. The whole "going to war" and "warrior" euphemism is over-used in sports, but you want a guy who you know is going to leave it on the field for the win. That was all about self-preservation when there was still a shot to get that game (albeit a long shot). If I am on that offense, or the team as a whole, I absolutely do not trust Weeden.

Church is out there without half his lip. Lee is out there looking like he took an uppercut from Tyson. Witten might as well have no ankles. They're all out there battling and this tool slides in the open field with a 1st down there for the taking. Seriously, his performance is one thing, that play though... Get him out of here.

I am officially on the Cassell bandwagon.

Matt Cassell aside, I will say one thing about Kellen Moore, that guy will absolutely leave everything on the field. LT could have been coming at him on that outside the pocket play and Moore isn't sliding unless its across the first down line. That guy is old school, tough.

He's also a master of the dump off game. That was a huge part of that Boise offense.

Whats funny is I remember watching him play the Gents and throwing bombs to Josh Gordan the whole game and they beat them and it was a huge surprise! I was stoked because I wanted gents to lose. But unfortunately we don't have a Josh Gordan either!

Romo was check down charlie before Weeden:https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/09/14/cowboys-giants-grades-no-answers-at-rb-for-dallas/

–The Giants may look back on last night’s game and wonder why they never forced Tony Romo (+0.8) to beat them with throws down the field last night. Of his 45 targeted passes last night, Romo aimed the ball more than 10 yards down the field only five times. The game-winning touchdown was symptomatic of that with the Giants unfathomably allowing Romo to hook up with his favorite target, TE Jason Witten, at the front of the endzone rather than forcing a throw into the endzone with the game on the line.

Maybe this is on Scott and not the QB.

Witten now 98% of the offense. Makes the Cowboys difficult to game plan for.
