Matt Cassel passed his first test against an improved Jets team on the road.
As the little green jewel says about our avatars :"Matt Cassel is on a distinguished path."

Agree 100%, A couple times he tried to squirm his way out but there was no where to go so he protected the ball. I think as he gains experience he starts making more plays, like the potential Td pass to Thomas, Brady throws that ball before Thomas is even open, Cassel will learn to in the future.
Also, great read on Moss improvising and going downfield, he just didnt get enough on the ball and Randy still makes that catch 98 out of 100 times, All in all good first game starting. In encouraged.

Cassel don't need no stinking movement. Seriously! First pro/college start, No interceptions/No Turnovers, and he was able to move the chains relatively consistently. Give the guy a mountain of credit! He had to fill Tom Brady's shoes (which nobody can), had enormous media attention, yet he played just as we needed him to: No dumb throws, move the chains, keep cool. The Patriots won't win every game with Cassel's play today. Brady could take the offense on his shoulders and outscore the opponent when needed. But if Cassel can give consistent performances equal to today, the Patriots will be in a position to have a real shot at winning most every game. And that is what I am realistically hoping for.....
