OVERVIEW
Weeden joined the Cowboys after a stint playing minor league baseball. Weeden has been the signal-caller for one of the country's most efficient and explosive offenses. He is a poised, effective thrower who has great pocket presence and makes quick decisions with the ball to keep the chains moving. He rarely throws interceptions despite the high number of attempts in his scheme. He could be picked as high as the second round.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Weeden has an NFL-quality frame that allows him to look over the offensive line and deliver his throws without a hitch. His quick release is his strongest asset, as he consistently fires the ball with a compact throwing motion and strong delivery. The ball zips off his arm, and he has the ability to fit it in any tight space. He is "all of the above" in terms of being a mature, poised leader. He is an accurate passer on throws short and long, and he has that gunslinger mentality to go for the deep ball when it's an option. He understands route progressions and throwing the ball to allow his receiver to make a play.
WEAKNESSES Despite his baseball background, Weeden is only an average athlete and is very limited when scrambling. He has a tough time getting outside the pocket, and his accuracy and touch decrease immensely when he scrambles. He seems to grasp route concepts and looks for his second option, but he will hold the ball for extended periods of times and could be a product of his quick-read offensive scheme.I can't run no more with that lawless crowd

Could be. But still too many other holes on O.Originally posted by Brando19 View PostI think it's a great pick...just because he's older doesn't mean he's not better than McCoy. He'll be their starter.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I'd love Upshaw or Merciles
ok with Perry
I'd puke with an OL
What if TT took the 2nd best RB ??TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER
