Let's face it. We are being way to optimistic about Cassell. This team has a superior supporting cast and that is what must do it. The defense has to step up big time, as do the running backs. Remember the Miami interception, the lousy preseason.

Low scorring football here we come.

agreed for the most part. we need our D to step up. But, you have to think our offense is still capable of putting up 20-25 points per game. we have moss, welker, maroney, and an above average O-Line. if we can run the ball well, spread the D with long passes to Moss, we will score some points

No way BB keeps Cassel for 4 years unless he thinks he can be a very good NFL qb

Isn't it funny how many of us all of a sudden feel that Cassell, the guy we all wanted out of here two weeks ago, is our new hero. Seriously, if he can give us 200 yards a game, I'd be impressed. He reminds me of Drew Bledsoe with a weaker and less accurate arm.

Try learning to spell our starting QB's name...

Remember how Brady struggled against Miami in the regular season during much of his career... Remember his 4 pick performance against Miami in his second start in 2001...

Then give it a rest.

I am still weary of Cassel, but if he can play like he did against the Chiefs I will be happy. At this point, I don't know if there is a better option out there. I was hoping Huard would get cut. The fact that Chris Simms can't find a job discourages me about his chances too.

If Cassel can limit the mistakes, I think the running game and the defense can still carry this team to the playoffs.

We didn't all want him out of here...genius. He's nothing like the statue.
he has a well developed brain and manageable ego. And he's mobile.

I'm hoping for the best. If we can be a successful team with a back-up QB, it would be the ultimate FU to the rest of the league.

Stop kidding yourself. No one wanted him here. We wanted Gutierrez and O'Connell.

I know he's nothing like the statue, he doesn't have the arm.

All of are hopes are relying on a guy that hasn’t started a game since high school though he did prove himself in the KC game
