We now have the 32nd ranked QB Starter

Deep_South · Sep 25, 2015

Brees should take at least two weeks off to make sure his shoulder is OK.

27. Tyrod Taylor (1-1)
28. Derek Carr (1-1)
29. Jameis Winston (1-1)
30. Johnny Manziel/Josh McCown (1-1)
31. Ryan Mallett (0-1)
32. Brandon Weeden

You need a great quarterback to win a Super Bowl and I'm not looking forward to playing the Pats and Seahawks without Tony and Dez but at the same time I'm also not giving up hope of us being 5-4 or even 6-3 when Tony is back.

He's not ranked there because no one has seen him start since Arizona. He's there because people have seen him start NFL games in the past.

Make no mistake, Weeden was a terrible QB when he started in 2012-13. Football Outsiders has him 36th in the league in '12 and 42nd (dead last) in '13. Yes, it was Cleveland, but there's no reason (other than hope) to expect him to be anything but one of the worst QBs in the NFL. Doesn't mean we can't win with him, but I sure don't expect it to be easy.

Agreed he has not played well in this league.

I must admit I an torn about what we will see on Sunday and my high(ceiling) bar is to play well enough not to lose the games (turnovers) and to make a few plays to help us win.

On hopeful side - He played in Cleveland with a awful team around him, different O every year he has been in the league until this year, he now knows the O (2 years in it) and will not be asked to do too much by Linehan and has been educated not to force balls (check down).

On Negative side - Makes bad decisions under pressure, does not read the whole field well, has tenancy to throw a lot of bad balls (int's) poor pocket presence.

Should be interesting to watch, just hope it is not my heart on the positive side and my head on the negative side.

I want to be wrong about this one.

yeah, I am very interested to see how he plays.....

I want him to be comfotable enough to sort of .."let go:" If he plays scared , we will most likely lose. Its a QB league. The QB has to make plays. Go make them Brandon. I think he might feel that way too, this being his last shot....

I would imagine Cassel carries more league-wide and media respect. I'd guess he would have come in around 25-27. Weeden is probably better than most of the guys at the bottom though. I'd personally rank him at 28 as of now.

I agree, Cassel has a better body of work .

Rosenthal is a supposed fantasy guru. Take that for what it is worth.

utrunner07 · Sep 25, 2015

Shocking, the only backup QB in the league starting this week is ranked 32nd out of 32...who would have thought...

JDSmith · Sep 25, 2015

Rosenthal knows less about football than I do, and that's not saying much.

A guru who lives in his own fantasy.

Weeden has the highest QB Passer Rating in the NFL at 149.7. We can't lose!

[/sarc]

I've heard that Jerry had a device implanted in Weeden's brain to allow him to be controlled with a video game controller.

Romo will get operate the controller.

The same Gregg Rosenthal who predicted the Cowboys would miss the playoffs last year after a 6–2 start?

Seldom am I critical of the sports media. I am not one to throw around words like mediot. In the vast majority of cases, they are just doing their job. However, in the case of Rosenthal, he is a total hater

He picked the Eagles last year due to continuity. He picked the Eagles this year because they lack continuity. Plus he can't even spell his own name.

Backs against the wall Weeden. Time to rise or die son...

Aven8 · Sep 25, 2015

I was surprised that Mallet wasn't 32nd. He is awful compared to Weeds which isnt saying much!

Great quarterback? Seattle won a Super Bowl with Russell Wilson. He isn't a great quarterback. He's good, but if you think he's great I have to wonder what you're definition of great is. Trent Dilfer was probably the worst starting QB of all time that played on a Super Bowl team and they won without him. Eli Manning won two Super Bowls and he's been inconsistent his entire career.

I want a Terminator QB:

Kyle Reese: The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but this Weeden model is new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero him.

I suppose I mean great QB play as opposed to great overall QBs. Those 4 playoff runs you named saw the QB's go for 21 TDs to just 3 total turnovers

THEHEREAFTER · Sep 25, 2015

Anyone see Kirk Cousins play last night?

plasticman · Sep 25, 2015

If you took out all the starters then I wonder where he would rank.

punchnjudy · Sep 25, 2015

It's all academic right now. We can safely assume he's not near the top of the list but it's too early to say he's at the bottom. The best backup QB I can remember from last season was also a flop in Cleveland--Derek Anderson. In his two starts in place of Cam, he was efficient and didn't throw any picks. Also played well in limited duty in other games. I'm not expecting a lot from Weeden, just hoping the game might start to slow down enough for him that he won't be a turnover machine and that his ypa will be decent.

Fritsch_the_cat · Sep 25, 2015

Not saying Weeden isn't a lower tier QB, but he's only played half a game, those stats are severely skewed.

We now have the 32nd ranked QB Starter
