True but they did have a few weapons in Gordon and Cameron. They guy has no spark to him. Offense looks lifeless. Throws too many check downs, is inaccurate and has poor pocket presence. I dont know how he was considered a first rounder.

The. Scheme. Is. Outdated.

I agree that Weeden is not that athletic which is entirely necessary for QBs to be in order to buy enough time for WRs to get open. And Weeden certainly does not have that perfect touch that you need to time the ball into the place in the field where the WR (assuming he has made all of the same decisions as the QB and ran unhindered through his route) is going to be in the first 3 seconds.

At the very least, when your QB has weaknesses or the offense is not particularly strong somewhere, good coaches solve that by reducing, altering, and creating success with what minor advantages they do have...unless you are running this Norv Turner Coryell scheme which does not change. Unless there are intentional running plays called that do not have the pass variable, the QB is hung out to dry on every play. Romo just makes it work, but when was the last time anyone truly running this scheme won the Super Bowl?(Jim Caldwell took over Cam Cameron's playbook but stopped using the scheme as a theory and started calling the running plays that Cam Cameron would not).

I think Dick Vermeil Rams were the last team to win anything using this scheme. And an average talent QB like Weeden is not going to revive a play that is dead before he even leaves the huddle.
