Hey Remember When Jerry Jones Said Brandon Weeden Throwing The Football Is A Thing Of Beauty, Won’t See A More Gifted Passer? Yeah, Well, The Great QB Has Been Cut
Blog after Week 2:
PFT – Cowboys owner Jerry Jones thinks Cowboys General Manager Jerry Jones made a brilliant move when he signed Brandon Weeden as the backup quarterback. “This quarterback Weeden can drive the ball down field,” Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “He’s a thing of beauty on throwing a football. His passing motion and his arm, frankly, you won’t see a more gifted passer, power, accuracy, the entire aspect of it. If he can basically prepare, be the starting quarterback, come in and execute and keep his head right, then I feel good about Weeden.”
OK. Time to put gramps in a home. I know I probably shouldn’t throw shade on a man who just went 7-7 in relief and clinched the game for the Cowboys vs. the Eagles, but come on Jer. Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball is a thing of beauty. You can borderline make love to Tom Brady chucking his sauce. Hell, even Sam Bradford once in a blue moon throws a ball that can be described as gorgeous. I’m all for giving your boy confidence, but pumping Brandon Weeden’s tires this much, Jerry? This guy ain’t gonna get you some Glory Hole unless he’s on the receiving end. Just ask Cleveland.
Annnndddd here’s the blog now:
PFT – The Cowboys have waived quarterback Brandon Weeden, the team announced Tuesday. The move clears a roster spot for Tony Romo to be activated and is obviously tied to Romo’s health. The Cowboys have lost seven straight and haven’t won since Week 2, when Romo was injured. They were 0-3 with Weeden starting. Matt Cassel replaced Weeden last month, and Romo is expected to start Sunday when the Cowboys play the Dolphins. Weeden has lost his 11 starts, dating back to his rookie season of 2012 with the Browns. The Cowboys signed Weeden prior to the 2014 season.
Shocker. Who would’ve thought a MLB dropout who entered his rookie year at the age of 45 and dropped 8 straight starts wasn’t the next coming of Christ on the gridiron? Apparently Weeden doesn’t possess enough leadership skills to be held in high regard in Dallas. If only he’d start beating the piss out of women, shoving coaches on the sidelines, and skipping multiple practices and team meetings his job would’ve been secure. Shit, he’d probably would’ve gotten an extension already. Tis a damn shame. Till the next team who hopefully is on the Eagles schedule twice a year, Brandon. Goodnight, sweet prince.
