    "For the preseason, Tanney completed 40-of-73 passes for 423 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions"

    Well. Meh.

      Does the guy in the beginning of this video look like his face is getting sucked into the middle of his head by some type of vacuum?

          Weeden wasn't famous for anything.

          Gipper is referencing the the Sports Science episode of Weeden prior to the draft. A lot of people made a lot of buzz about him hitting a clay pidgeon from 10 yards away traveling 45 mph, apparently meaning he has a "super accurate, cannon for an arm".

          I think Weeden thinks he has to hit his receivers like he hit those clay pidgeons. Nothing less than 100 mph from 10 yards away will suffice.

          I know what he was referring to. I was being facetious.

          If I'm not mistaken, the Sports Science episode featuring him debuted after we drafted him, however.

                  Interesting. And odd. So many veterans out there and some interesting practice squad guys. Never would've guessed we'd go with this kid in a million years.

                    This may be one of those Mike Lombardi specials where he tries to show how much smarter he is than anyone by picking up people that no one ever heard of and hoping that he finds a diamond in the rough.

                    More often though, Lombardi just shows how much dumber he is than everyone else because all we get is the rough and none of the diamond.

                      I'm not sold on having a tranny in the locker room -

                      Tranny with a trick shot - even worse

                        Look at it this way...Caleb had already PROVEN he was Weeden Version 2 with 3 TDs & 10 interceptions. At least this kid is an unknown & at this point, THAT'S somewhat of a positive. LOL

                          His father was a coach, he's been in the spread offense since his sophomore year in high school, he has a loose arm with great mid range accuracy and had a 5-1 TD/INT ratio in college. Played at a smaller school and had great production all 4 years as a starter.

                          I can see the appeal. At the very least, he's careful with the football. That's all we need.

                          Runs a 4.96, however. And I thought Weeden was slow...

                            I wonder if maybe they'd like to find next year's #3 behind Hoyer and Carr.

                              Hey, Foles ran a 5.14 and I honestly think he qualifies as mobile. He can scoot... just not 40 yards.

                                Not comparing the arm ability to Brady (because obviously they are in two totally different universes), but Tommy Boy ran a 5.0+ coming out of college. I'm not too concerned with his 40 time if he can actually throw the ball accurately and hit open receivers.

                                    I thought the same thing but who else is left? You can't deny that the video is impressive. But what other options beside bottom of the barrel washed up old timers or Tebow?

                                    of course anyone can deny that video is impressive. I'm ONLY impressed if it's verified that was done with next no mulligans. And even then....why should I give a fuck? Seriously why should I give two flying fucks that this dude can do things with a football that will never translate onto an actual football game on Sunday? He was on the cowboys practice squad...know why? Cause he doesn't yet get the NFL game. He can throw a football with his dick I don't care...if he can't shift the coverage to pick up a blitzing Will or Sam, or he just can't seem to see those safeties creeping up underneath his routes....than I really really really don't give a fuck if he can bullseye my spread cheeks at 80 yds right dead square in my hole.
