To a large extent, I agree with the OP- you can't blame everything on Weeden. However that overthow to Obi was sickening & inexcusable without a defender in the same area code- it was an easy touchdown, and Brandon has GOT to make that throw in a close game- it literally would have been a game changer.
I don't know if Little's hands of stone can ever be fixed- and Weeden did zip some bullets into tight coverage to Greg that were imminently catchable.
Agreed the right side of the OL needs fixing fast. Cousins has stunk up the joint two weeks running, and Schwartz blew a blocking assignment that got Weeden killed.
I said it in another thread- Brandon has improved, but compared to the best in the biz, he's still a 1\2 beat slow in reading a defense, and he needs to improve on his pocket awareness- some of those sacks could have been avoided if he had sensed the rush and tossed the ball away. .
I agree with the OP's points completely. The overall sentiment that "he was great at Okie State means nothing because the NFL is a whole new level but beyond that the actual points made are on the money. I think the throw to Obi was leading him and Obi slacked off on the route early. He still could have made the catch. As far as the passes being "to hard" bullshit , these guys are professionals and they need to catch them period.
