Cut Weeden and Vaughn and go with Showers ....... and keep looking for another QB. Weeden and Vaughn aren't going to help us this year, nor will they likely develop into anything. I realize this is a move that is easily criticized if it doesn't work out, but this is a move that Jerry the owner/GM should make and move on.

As much as I don't think Weeden is a good QB, it would not be fair to the other guys on the team to do that. Like him or Hate him, out of the 3, Weeden gives us the best chance to win a game if Romo is out. Even if that % is 1% that is better than 0%. I just don't think you can do that to the other 50 guys that are playing their heart out there. I am all for keeping Showers on the 53, as I have liked what I have seen. However, not as the #2. I am all for upgrading the #2 though and we should be looking for that upgrade, even if it means trading for it.

Why would we go with Showers? He looks bad.

Showers is NOTHING MORE than practice squad material at this point...and I think Dallas is only going with two quarterbacks on the 53 man roster..

These debates always puzzle me.

Yes, Weeden stinks. But we need a backup QB and unless the Cowboys find one somewhere else, Weeden is a better option than Vaughn or Showers.

Showers projects as a practice squad candidate. Vaughn should be cut as that experiment has ran its coarse. Weeden is the backup like it or not.

It really is just that simple.

Might as well just go without a backup QB. They are unlikely to win a game with Showers playing QB anyway.

Weeden isn't good by NFL starting standards, but he is head and shoulders better than Vaughn and Showers.

I would love a guy like TJ Yates or even RGIII

Weeden does a lot more for us than Showers, for a game or two. If Romo goes down much longer than that, we're pretty much screwed anyways.
