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. Whatever downs he brings, the Cowboys have realized that his talents and positives are more than worth putting up with his flaws. Weeden wanted to make it clear that he doesn't want that to happen, because it's rude to wish injury on somebody.At every NFL training camp, a reporter asks a backup quarterback about their role on the team, and they give the same answers: "I'm trying my best to compete," "I know I'm not the starter, but I'm doing my best to make sure I'm prepared to be the next man up," "I'm trying to show and prove I'm worth a shot in the NFL.

His second year, he got injured in Week 2, and was outperformed by backups Brian Hoyer -- two years younger than Weeden -- and Jason Campbell, an NFL has-been, but only two years older than Weeden. But he wasn't afraid. To learn more or opt-out, read our After a super-weird career, Brandon Weeden had found Backup QB heaven.

And even if he didn’t come, it’s still a win win, as Oakland will be able to get their pick back soon.Kyler is an exceptional athlete and is doing something that very rarely is done in Sports in it’s entire history of existence in the MLB and NFL. The Cowboys' starting quarterback was sidelined with an injury from a previous game, and the backup was ineffective the first half.Taking over after halftime, Weeden, the third-stringer, threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns, engineering a second-half comeback victory from 11 points down.
