Around the NFL- Week 11
@JayGlazer
Scoopage: #Browns are making the switch to Johnny Manziel as starting QB for rest of the season @NFLonFOX This is why the Browns will continue to suck ass. McCown was playing exceptionally well, yet they decided to go with Johnny "flash in the pan" Manziel. This screams a move by the GM/Owner. I bet Kyle is so thankful he got out of that place.

Re: Around the NFL- Week 11
Cowboys waived QB Brandon Weeden.
With Matt Cassel proving himself a "better" backup option and Tony Romo set to return from injured reserve-designated to return, there was little reason for the Cowboys to keep Weeden around. A first-round pick of the Browns in 2012, Weeden has started just 24 games in four seasons and has a 28-to-30 career touchdown-to-interception ratio. Already 32 years old, Weeden does not have any development upside, but he could land another backup gig. If there was any doubt before, this move almost guarantees Tony Romo will play this week |

Re: Around the NFL- Week 11
Jerry on Weeden in September:
"This quarterback Weeden can drive the ball down field, 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." Cowboys QB Brandon Weeden Is A Great Passer, According To Jerry Jones | UPROXX Jerry on Weeden in November: "GTFOH!!" It's a fun time to be a Cowboy hater.

Re: Around the NFL- Week 11
He is not a brilliant football mind. It burns me to say it but with all the talent and flash Dallas had had walk through their doors, they probably should have added a couple more lombardi trophies to their case by now, but the GM who keeps on giving keeps preventing it.

Re: Around the NFL- Week 11
Can someone smart tell me why Jerry Jones is essentially like Dan Snyder when it comes to over-paying, meddling, signing big-name free agents, etc, and is able to at least consistently build a winning team and go to the playoffs, but yet Snyder does the exact same thing, but cannot seem to consistently win? It seems like we get a playoff team every four or five years, and yet Jerry almost does it every year with basically the same formula...what gives?

Re: Around the NFL- Week 11
How much success has Jones really had since Jimmy Johnson left (not counting Switzer as that was JJ's team)?
Not much. I see a .500 type team that once in a while has a good season, but gets bounced early in the playoffs. Dallas Cowboys Team Encyclopedia | Pro-Football-Reference.com |

To answer SS84, I say often that Snyder has been going through a slow bake maturation, trying to find the right answer to win, and slowly removing himself from the equation. For us fans, it's been a nightmare, but he finally seems to be in the right place (at least for 52 of the 53 players), but JJ has never changed or even acknowledged a need to change, and his fan base is just as disgusted as we have been in the past. I wish DS could have evolved quicker, but at least he appears to be making solid moves in the right direction. |

Re: Around the NFL- Week 11
Per an ESPN Insider's article in regards to Manning. Manning pulling a RG3 on the team.

Re: Around the NFL- Week 11
Yeah I agree. I could see if they were still in the playoff hunt. There is no point for Clev to play McCown at this point. They have to find out if Manziel can play or not.
