That thought did cross my mind, but we don't need O'Connell to start. Cassel would have to be injured or be completely ineffective for that to happen. Even then, I'm not sure that BB would start a rooky QB.

He could, but Cassel gives the Pats the best chance to win. Once you accept that, everything will be clear. As long as you persist in thinking BB and SP are bad judges of personnel, you will never understand. Give in to the Force, Luke.

Do you actually even watch games or just spew incessant crap?

Ryan is the 25th ranked QB in the league, Flacco the 31st. Cassel even after Miami ranks 15th.

Did you not hear the broadcast crew talking about how you don't ever really want to start a rookie let alone one drawn from a less competitive college division. Atlanta and Baltimore had no choice.
