    Right now Jerry's asking himself....can Weeden carry us to the playoffs?

    I think Weeden is asking the same thing.

    I can honestly see him doing real well, in short spurts, for a series or 2, on a good team like the Cowboys. Like he did last night.

    But if Romo goes down for the season and they are like 8-2 and staring the playoffs in the face, I can see Weeden taking a big gulp, his eyes getting HUGE, and the bad decisions and throws starting.

    He's actually the PERFECT replacement for Romo. Will look GREAT until it really counts. Then it's pick city!

    And he'll look like a Down syndrome John Gruden all the while

    Strange one - I thought they were high on him. first round pick a couple of years ago - not sure what he's gone for now?

  • JFF isn't going anywhere. He will be our starting QB by the end of the year, or starting next year.

  • Deadline has passed, right? We'd have heard something by now, no doubt!

  • C Clevfan4life

    God are we all gonna be hyping up a JFF trade to Dallas? They're not parting ways with Murray or Bryant which are probably the only players we would even think about parting ways with JFF for. Is a low first round pick from them worth it? It's gonna be somewhere near the very bottom of the 1st round so I dunno. I still don't want to see JFF go.

    Alabama DB's have severely underperformed (Kareem Jackson, Barron, Kirkpatrick, and Milliner)

  • You know it was a slow deadline when SI posts an article about "If these trades would have happened it would have been exciting"

  • Really... couple duds in a row...

    LOL @ the wikipedia update "On October 28, 2014, the Buccaneers traded Mark Barron to the St. Louis Rams for a fourth and sixth-round draft selection, Because like most who played for Nick Saban, he flopped"

    I definitely like the bama big boys, their secondary and skill positions haven't found a whole lot of NFL success. Although you still can't too fairly evaluate the last few draft classes, but Barron was expected to be a perennial pro-bowler.

    Clinton-dix could turn into a good-great safety but he wasn't drafted #7 overall like Barron.

    Ingram is just starting to turn decent.

  • And Eddie Lacy looks pretty decent.

    @gftchris said:

    And Eddie Lacy looks pretty decent.

    Every year for three or four years in Alabama it was, "Yeah, this runningback is good but wait until you see his backup."

    Glen Coffee was a decent runningback for the Tide, but at least once per game the announcers would claim "Wait until the next few years when Ingram takes over, that guy is just on a different level."

    Then Ingram goes and wins a Heisman, proves to be a solid Alabama runningback with NFL potential, and still at least once per game the announcers would state, " Wait until the next few years when Richardson takes over, that guy is just on a different level."

    Then Richardson takes over for Ingram, proves to be a great Alabama runningback with NFL potential, and still at least once per game the announcers would state, "Richardson is fantastic, but this Eddie Lacy character is poised to be just as great."

    Then Lacy gets his shot and the announcers are all over Yeldon's dick.

    The point is, they're all decent. None of them are these transcendent talents that took the NFL by storm. But, just as Trent Richardson wasn't the second coming of AP, he's not the other Adrian Peterson, either. Same goes for Ingram and Lacy.

    They are solid runningbacks with great physical tools who benefitted from playing behind an amazing offensive line.

    And so it goes with all Alabama skill players. They are all solid physical specimens with athletic talent, but the core of that team is the offensive and defensive lines.

    or how about Dez Bryant?

    After that TD catch last night, his value went up another round. Outstanding grab and effort.

    @gftchris said:

    Another round? He's top 5 talent wise. You would have to trade manziel and a starter to get Bryant.

    Edit: and Vincent Jackson has a 40% catch rate, good for worst in the league.

    As in from a 1st to a 1st and another pick.

  • Axe,

    What did you think of that Barron Trade?

    I don't know much about Barron, but seems like a short amount of time to give up on a 1st rounder and not get much back in return.

    Maybe they feel about him like we felt like Weeden?

  • I don't know if that is possible... I'm still trying to erase any memory of that guy in a Browns uniform.

    How many slow pitch softball INT's did Barron throw? Haha.

    The word on him is that he cant cover. So, in addition to not being able to throw a slow pitch softball, he cant catch or prevent one either.
