Yeah, that's fair.
Actually, most of it is inaccurate.
Weeden and Romo have almost exactly the same yardage per attempt this season, 7.0 yards and 7.2 yards respectively. The league average is 6.7 yards. Cassel has 4.0 yards.
When it comes to yards per catch Weeden has 10.4 yards, Romo 10.2 and Cassel 10.8. Glaring difference, right? All that "throwing down the field"?
Weeden was the starter for the Cleveland Browns Day #1 his rookie year in 2012. He was 5-15 as a starter. .The Browns were 4-8 the rest of the games those two seasons.
This is why stats tell you almost nothing. The stats say Weedman is the same as Romo.
Even the most uninitiated of this cadre of posters knows that is laughable. Something that might come from a fan of Extremeskins.
The answer is this. Jerry doesn't get that Romo is aging, like so many people here who continue with this folly of Romo has four or five good years left. Ignoring his body just cannot take the pounding like it could once.
Newsflash - break Romo, break the Cowboys.
That last year he had a perfect combination of running attack versus pass, which protected a suspect defense.
This year he was bitten by the injury bug with both Dez and Romo. This is a major deal.
Right after the completely foolish and astoundingly stupid idea of allowing a playmaker that balanced the offense walk away for a meathead, a guy who is susceptible to injury, and a host of other guys that should grace the practice squad.
This is Jones & Jones showing they are playing Madden on a grand scale and not making smart choices to ensure the team is what they stumbled on in 2014. Not offering a safety net for the best player on your team in case something happens. What they missed is.....
Balance.
All the other grousing is just that. THis is not stats. It is not who is better. It is an imbecile running this organization, along with his son, who doesn't seem to have fallen far from the oak tree. Making decisions, and still suggesting they were correct - see Stephen Jones comment yesterday he'd do the Murray thing all over again.
This is why this team STILL needs a football man at GM. Because all the clever decisions in the war room this year don't offset the people who write the checks deciding they understand the nuances of this game enough to run off a playmaker and think the team will be fine.
Now take your best shot, boys.
