Cowboys trade for Matt Cassell

[ThoughtExperiment]

How bad must Christian Ponder have looked for them to give up on that idea and actually trade a draft pick?

I remember when ponder was declared the savior in Minny. That notion lasted all of 2 games. He did use whatever bullshit props he acquired in order to bag a hot wife though. Points for that. Terrible QB. The situation there was not too bad either. He had a silver platter compared to other QB failures.

Yeah, he had Adrian Peterson to hand off to and still couldn't do anything.

It's really shocking that he was a #12 overall pick. He and Jake Locker that year just show how QB poor the game is right now.

Blaine Grabbert was in that draft.

You don't give up draft picks to acquire a vet like Cassell without the intention of him starting over Weeden, despite Jerry's proclamations of faith in Weeden --- we all know Jerry says one ting and does entirely another.

Hopefully Cassell can and will get up to speed quickly. An added bonus would to be to activate Michael.

Cassel knows "the system". Trained by Norv. That's why. Same with Weeden. Similar to Jason Garrett, Weeden is not a winner by any stretch, but appears to be trained well.

Sorry Dooms.

The Buffalo Bills have signed former Dallas Cowboys QB Dustin Vaughan to their practice squad today.

Well shit.....

Too bad we couldn't just trade the two bastards and call it even instead of giving up a 5th rounder and getting nothing in return for Vaughan

There's really nothing you can get for a UDFA you already cut loose. He had no trade value anyway and even less after Romo goes down.

But your point is taken, I am not sure we come out ahead in this exchange. I still believe my fellow alumnus Vaughan winds up successful in the NFL, somewhere.

Do I feel safer with Cassel backing up Weeded over Vaughan? Yes

So I feel safe? Not in the least!

I think Ponder's shoulder is shot. Most likely he is done as a NFL player IMO

Cassell hopefully will overtake Vaughn. Not sure what you expect but Cassell is not a bad option.

Vaughan is already gone to the Bills. They signed him already
