He graduated from Santa Fe in A pitcher, Weeden was drafted in the second round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the New York Yankees as their first selection in the draft. Injuries and a high ERA led to Weeden quitting baseball. Weeden enrolled at Oklahoma State in and redshirted his first year. The following year, in he appeared in only one game against Missouri State.
In Weeden played in three games, including one in the absence of injured Zac Robinson on Nov. Alex Cate started the game, but Weeden replaced him at halftime and led the Cowboys to an point comeback victory, over Colorado in the nationally-televised Thursday night game.
In Weeden was named the starter for the Cowboys. In week two Weeden suffered a severe injury to his thumb, which led to two interceptions and two fumbles in a win over Troy.
Weeden said, "Hurt thumb, no thumb, whatever, it doesn't matter. I don't care if I don't have a thumb. You've got to take the snaps. The win helped move Oklahoma State into the Coaches' Poll top 25 for the first time in Coach Gundy reflected on the win: "Sometimes, you have games like that. We were rolling on all cylinders. It was a whole lot of fun tonight. It's often said the most popular guy on the team is the backup quarterback: 21 of the 22 football positions regularly cycle in backups.
Backup linemen provide rest opportunities. Backup running backs come in on third down. Backup corners are nickelbacks. Backup quarterbacks sit on the sideline while the starter goes out and makes mistakes, leaving fans wondering whether they could do better. But on NFL teams with legit star quarterbacks like Romo, the backup is not the most popular guy on the team.
Yes, Romo makes mistakes. He has his flaws. But more importantly, Romo is an incredibly talented quarterback. He leads the NFL in game-winning drives since Whatever downs he brings, the Cowboys have realized that his talents and positives are more than worth putting up with his flaws. Romo will always be the most popular guy on the team, and in an ideal world, the backup quarterback sits on the sideline. After Weeden's strange career, backup was a pretty sweet gig. Once upon a time, he took hour bus rides in the minors, and failed there.
He was put in a weird situation with the Browns, and failed there. But after starting his career too late to be a star, Weeden found a team willing to pay him to not be a star. They just needed him to be there, just in case. That's why his worst-case scenario was actually having to play. If Weeden performs well, it probably will not be enough to become an NFL starter somewhere: other teams have stars or players to develop. If he performs badly, the Cowboys and other teams in the future might realize it's not worth letting Weeden hang around.
