I believed it too. Makes Brady seem even more the unlikely hero. But apparently not.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

Completely different analysis. For two years he's felt that Cassel is the best option for the 2d quarterback. That's another whole calculation that takes a lot more into account.

I'm not debating that BB thinks Cassel this week is the best option to win. I'm just debating whether that means as much as people seem to think.

I was reading about Cassell today in some of the local (NYC) news rags. Actually he is an interesting guy.. He to me at least gave the aura of nerd - ala the Mannings. But he is more a true jock type - he was thought of as a Lynch type in HS and played some safety. His brothers are pro baseball players..

He is an all-around athlete much like Connell. So all hope is not lost with Cassell. He does bring an athletic dimension that Tom does not - plus he is smart and has a big arm. You can see why he was drafted..

Smart, Big Arm, good athlete.. He just didn't get to play much. I think he is closer to Ray Lucas then people realize. We could win some games with his all-around play.

I think it's because of the ludicrous promises college coaches make to players before they step foot on campus.

The whole situation was unfair, and this was the bone idiot Lloyd threw to Henson.

Matt Gutierrez suffered similarly when Lloyd promised the world to Chad Henne.

College coaches sometimes make bad decisions when it comes to the QB situation.

Don't feel dumb that people highlight the ridiculous of Carr's decision rather than the actuality of it.

He started 3 games in the pre-season. After a breif appearance by Brady in the Miami game he played 3+ Qtrs. The only thing he hasn't done since HS is start and complete a game.

He also played tight end at USC...he is athletic.,,and he can run when needed.

Has anyone braught up the fact that, thus far (and I'm looking at the '05 Miami game and last Sunday) Cassell has had more success at the NFL level than the guy that kept him on the bench at USC, Hollywood Matt Leinart?
