I think weeden thought he was back at okie state. You know where all he had to throw to was dez. Geez Beasley was wide open most of the game running right in the middle of the field

Weeden never threw a pass to Dez Bryant in college.

What bothers me is that there have been many instances this year already where backup QB's and backup to backup QB's have played well and helped their teams. No so much here.
The Rams third string qb comes to mind. I was all for putting in Dustin Vaughn in today. I couldn't see how he could have stunk up the place any more than what Weeden had already done. Weeden appeared to be hesitant and thinking too much that along with his accuracy skills being way off made it tough to watch.

He was bad.

Normally, I'm not one to throw a guy overboard for a bad game, but, depending what you see in Vaughan on the side, I'd consider it here. Your backup QB should be able to step in and help you be competitive for a week or two if you need him. Let's not forget that Weeden did a nice job of that last week. This week, he was awful. But if you can't count on him to play with less volatility than that, he's not really a whole lot of help to you. I'd rather have the developmental guy get the reps in a loss than watch a veteran who's too old to develop into a starter for you helplessly put on an ineffectiveness clinic for me when all you need him to do is to hand the ball off and throw the ball deep downfield every 5-10 offensive snaps.

I thought that the long Dunbar gain (40yds) would result in a 14-0 lead...the fact they could not get any further was rather foreboding.

Josh Freeman anyone?

No, thank you. There isn't anyone out there Dallas can get to come in and do a good job as a backup at this point. It is hard enough to find and prepare a backup QB in the off season. It is much more difficult to do it mid-season. Dallas has to make do with what they have at this point.

Seems Weeden can't play baseball OR football. He's still young enough to figure out what to do with the rest of his life, though.

He better have figured it out by now or saved up a lot of money because I'm not so sure any team will want him after this season. You can bet the Cowboys will be done with him after this season.

I was there so didn't see many replays but it seemed like he locked on to his primary read. I never really saw him go through his progression of receivers and very rarely threw to his blind side/ left side of the field.

Yeah, I thought Matt Moore was bad about staring down receivers...wow.

check out phillip rivers stat line today, people were talking MVP about him just two weeks ago
sure everybody manages to have a bad day. Rivers has been near perfect all year and last year for that matter.
no comparison.

Whatever. We can say the defense wasn't great. Well actually the defense scored 7 and held a good Cardinals offense to 21 additional points. Dallas' defense was suppose to be horrible and they are not. They aren't elite either, but they gave us a chance to win.

Special teams wasn't great, but that only cost us 3 points. Our punting was pretty good and returns not bad either.

So why was this game not competitive? WEEDEN.

He sucked big time. The first interception was inexcusable and the 2nd one was predictable - stare down your receiver type of bad. Meanwhile his throws to wideouts were horrid all day. Miscommunications, misreads, etc. etc. It was like the bad news bears out there.

Weeden is a smart guy and has an arm. There is no excuse to be that bad. Weeden wasn't a leader out there and he costs us a chance to win. 75% of the quarterbacks in this league could have made this game competitive and at least given the team an opportunity. Weeden failed on all accounts.

He failed because he is not an NFL caliber QB. I've maintained that since he was signed.

People got so caught up what he did in limited action last week. His appearances was so short no one ever got the chance to see how BAD Weeden can be at times. Instead, he faced a Deadskins team that REFUSED to blitz him and left his receivers open. Night and day between what Romo faced that game.

I had to follow the game on my phone, I swear it seemed like every time I looked I saw 'Weeden pass incomplete, intd for D. Bryant'
