Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco are already starting, why not Kevin O'Connell? Neither of these guys have NFL experience, but that's what this game is about is getting opportunities and learning.

Matt Cassell is what he is, we know what we'll more than likely get out of him now that he's in his 4th year. I mean he comes in to the Miami game last year and throws one into Jason Taylor's numbers for a pick-6. Yesterday, he should have had atleast one of not two picked off against a really weak defense. Matt Cassell is what he is, let's face it.

Personally, I would rather see Kevin O'Connell, it would be great to watch Kevin grow and learn and yes make mistakes, but really speed up his development, I think he showed alot of promise in the preseason. He's big and mobile and has a big arm, I would love to see him get his chance instead of Cassell.

Cassell on the road is a scary thought. I think things might get ugly for him this Sunday.

are you and Briz the same person?

this isn't a witty response, it's a serious question.

Sorry! This nutty idea has already been discussed:

If Brady is out O'Connell should start

Patriot_in_NY

In BB I trust. When the kid is ready, BB will trot him out there. When he does, I'll know it's right call.

wiggins!

if i wanted excitement i'd spend my sunday's at the track or at foxwoods. I want wins. don't care how they happen! Just get em! O'Connell doesn't do that. Cassell gives you a better chance.

Brady on the road in 2001 was scary also.

Since you clearly are an O'Connell fan and think that he's the next big thing and you seem to imply that Cassel was the reason the Patriots almost lost yesterday please answer the following:

1) Was Matt Cassel on the field when either of Randy Moss, Wes Welker or Matt Slater committed their fumbles yesterday?

2) Was Matt Cassel on the field at the end of the game when the secondary broke down and allowed the long completion to Devard Darling?

3) Was Matt Cassel the one responsible for the 2 conscutive 3 and outs in the 4th quarter? You know where the 1st series ended when Morris missed a blitz pick-up on a stunt and the 2nd series where they tried to run the ball 3 straight times only to get stuffed on the 3rd one.

4) Was Matt Cassel the one responsible for the Patriots offense only getting the ball ONCE in the 3rd quarter and allowing the Chiefs to have the ball for roughly 8 minutes and 35 seconds.

I'd love to hear your answers and your explanations.

I want O'Connell too

if he thinks he's ready, send him out


Cassell is a waste of everyone's time

DaBruinz, this was the Kansas City Chiefs, arguably the worst football team to take the field this season. Look, Matt had a decent game yesterday, but let's keep it all in perspective, we still only scored 17 points against a horrible defense.

Did he play decently yesterday, sure he did. Let's keep it in perspective though, he was on his home field against a bad defense and still almost threw two picks. BB brings him into the Miami game last year and on his first freakin play he drops back and throws a frozen rope into Jason Taylor's numbers for 6 points. You can't do those things in year 3.

Was I happy with the conservative 3 and out (3 runs) at mid field, no ! Like I said, Josh McDaniels has to lose that stupid Heath Evans full back dive, it's the worst play in football and NEVER, EVER gains anything and it was a horrible call.

I think you are going to be singing a different tune on Matt Cassell after he plays the Jets in the Meadowlands, we'll talk next Monday, how does that sound?

I would rather see O'Connell at this point DaBruinz, that's my opinion.

If BB thinks Cassel is the Pats best chance to win, then I think Cassel is the Pats best chance to win.

This coming from the self- proclaimed Madden champ who thinks that, because he is so good at Madden, he knows how to build a true NFL football franchise?

Here are a few facts that you seem to over-look about the Madden football game.

1) All the numbers they use for players are arbitrary.
2) Madden, in no way, accounts for player's attitudes or intelligence.
3) Madden, in no way, accounts for the coaches abilities to diagnose a game and make changes to the game plan on the fly.

What is a waste of everyone's time is trolls who come in here pretending to be Pats fans.
