The legend of Brandon Weeden

[Bay10]

I'm not trying to be mean but he has no place in this league.

The draft is looming...

Hell yeah it is......

This. Brandon belongs near an NFL sideline... Just a few feet away in the stands watching...

One other thing that they did with Cassel that they barely attempted with Weeden... Play action. I think that was a decision based on how slow Weeden reads things. So to dumb it down for Weeden then just put him in shotgun for passes to help him with his reads.

This idea of getting aged re-treads as backup QB's has to stop. Sure, a rookie, high draft pick might throw 3 picks and lose a game like yesterday, but at least he would have potential upside. He may get better. At least there would still be some hope for the future.

Gray beard Matt Hasselback seem to do pretty good in Andrew Luck's absence. Just saying.

Since when has Weeden put up 4 TDs with us? Please this guy can't read a defense he rifles a 5 yard pass he completed 80% of his passes to RB. You sir are delusional if you think an 0-12 Weeden wins that game yesterday. That would've staked the box 8-9 because they know Weeden is worthless

Weeden worthless? The 91-yard drive against New Orleans was a thing of beauty. His 98-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon in Cleveland was phenomenal. The Cowboys have no speed at the receiver position. Weeden can easily hit a receiver 60 yards downfield in stride, but the Cowboys have no one who can outrun a defensive back. The Giants should've intercepted Cassel 5 times, but dropped two of them.

No disrespect toward Tony Romo, but no way he would've beat the Patriots either.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm just tired of lumps. 3 turnover games win less often than games where you can't convert. If we don't take the ball away and play better football around these backups, it just doesn't matter. Pick 6's get you beat more often than not in the NFL. Same with ST scores. We shouldn't be giving either of these backup QBs a pass, but at the same time, good teams play better around their liabilities than we're playing right now. If Tony gets the same level of support when he's back, we'll be back to .500 football, no better.

Whos that lay with?

i find that hard to believe. Byron held one of their best. Do tell how you come to that conclusion?

 

[Jarv]

TWill was most definitely standing still...which was the problem lol.

But still, the most devastating INT was a intermediate route, so I dont think limiting to that is the ultimate key to success.

They had a segment on 5he pass on nfl live. The comentators blamed Twill...didn't finish the route.

 

[Doomsay]

Weeden is lifetime garbage. If you are going into an era where you have gambled everything on winning now with a vulnerable franchise QB, you have to have someone that can survive and win a few games with the rest of that win-now team when that franchise QB is knocked out. Huge FO failure.

Really you're bringing up stuff from 3 years ago? 1 drive? Yes that's great if you're accurate and step up in the pocket. But here this is all I need to know 0-12 the most important stat

Really? You have a crystal ball? Down what 3 at the half with a guy who couldn't buy a 3rd down conversion. Sorry This team would've been in the game in the 2nd half if they were able to convert 3rds and Romo has been great career wise at that. But I can't believe you're trashing Romo for to support your love fest for Weeden.. Now I think you're trolling

He's a troll and a Weeden apologist

I'm going to say Romo would have beat Tom & the Pats. Romo is at that dialed in stage of his career. He doesn't get rattled.

There is another legend of Weeden, a black legend, that he alone is responsible for the team's woeful performance.

 

[Jenky]

He unfortunately did more to set us back in 3 games than Cassel did yesterday. We should have shoved Cassel in sooner and just taken our lumps. He would have had an earlier start on self critique of game film and been better prepared yesterday. Oh well... Rue rue rue.

Cassel will give us an even better chance this weekend after having a full game of film to study and understand the nuances of where his plays could have been more successful. I think people sometimes underestimate the value of being able to sit down with a coach and go over game film of yourself. Not some other QB... You!

& the legend will live on in relative obscurity...

I said that Cassel should have played in the NE game anyways. Let's be honest here, that game was going to be a loss. Why not let Cassel get some playing time?

No doubt. We left the legend out there for waay too long. 1 game tops.

Ol' Bleu Cheese Star embarrassed himself as Cassel's hype man posting highlight videos trying to talk himself into how awesome Cassel was. All he has left to do now is kick Weeden's corpse to make himself feel better. At least he won't be posting Stone Age videos of Cassel throwing to Moss this week. Even he's not that foolish.
