Here's the difference between 2001/02 and 2008/09 ....

February 2002 - Brady as SB winning quarterback hoisting SB trophy
February 2009 - Cassel at work hoisting large box out of back of UPS truck

Wow, it must be cool being psychic and stuff. Let me ask, did you also predict that Brady would out play Drew and then beat the Rams in the SB?

By the way do you think Big Ben will be driving that truck in February of 2009? Just asking...

We know what happened in Feb 2002. We don't know what will happen this year. Of course you know right? IIRC you said the Giants would be one and done in the playoffs last year, right?

How can a prediction be "so true". WTF is this Miss Cleo and her assistant?

And let me ask you two something, what is the point of being a fan if you cannot have "hope"? You must be assured of it otherwise you look to next year, how is that fun for you, what is the damn point?

I have hope. I have hope that the Pats squeak into the playoffs and catch some magic in a bottle. If they win the SB, which as a fan I obviously hope for, it will be despite Cassel not because of him.

I have been a fan for almost 15 years, so you don't have to question my loyalty. But I reserve the right to see things with a critical eye and not blindly say that everything about this team is ok. The SD game was awful. The Miami game was awful. Does the team look like a SB contender right now? No. Hopefully things turn around, but I'm tempering my enthusiasm.

I'm not questioning loyalty, It's fine to temper enthusiasm, be critical, point out things you don't like etc...

There's no way to know how Cassel will grow, and it's ignorant to think you know exactly how good/bad Cassel can become or even trully is now for that matter.

To write off a season after 5 weeks makes no sense as a FAN to me. What happens when Brady retires, just write off every season until another HOF QB comes along?

Definitely not writing off the year and I wont until its obvious they wont make the playoffs. But after so many years in the system, dont you think that Cassel should be performing better than he is now? I have been posting in another thread on his stats. He is around 22 to 23 in the league based on a number of categories. With the weapons at his disposal (Moss and Welker in particular) are you not the least bit disapointed with his performance so far?

Hilarious thread reactions!

Here's some help for those bereft of reading comprehension skills...
