B+. Solid throwing the ball except for a few ducks, still slow on his reads in general, but he picked up on guys coming wide open much better than in previous weeks. Still took too many sacks, half the sacks in the game were on him, the rest were poor blocking or formation issues. Didn't make any egregiously stupid throws except for the one near-interception at the goal line. Not A material, but close. The Patriots can win 11 games this year if Cassel plays like this the rest of the season.

The guy put up a quarterback rating over 130, had 3 touchdowns and no picks, ran hard to pick up up a big first down, and wasn't the 'problem' with most of the sacks. How the hell does someone give that a "C" rating?

I gave him an A-. His throwing was really, really good. But he still suffers in the intangibles area in that he holds the ball too long and eats too many sacks. If he improves the speed of his reads, moves in the pocket better, and gets rid of the ball faster, he could become an A QB. But he's not quite there yet. Still, a very impressive game for Cassel. Something he can definitely build on.
I think he holds the ball longer than he should at times because he doesn't yet have the confidence to or he is being coached not to attempt those throws that have smaller windows. He is doing a tremendous job with not making any mistakes. As he continues to improve I expect he will become more and more decisive and take less sacks.
Anyhow I give him a solid A for his performance tonight. Sure he was helped out with good field position and a great running game most of the night, but 3 TDs and 0 INTs is a good night for the young kid with the impossible task.
Much better tonight. I think as far as my expectations, he gets an A-. It'd be closer to a B- for Brady, but it's a whole different scale. Most of the sacks were the protection's fault, just to clear that up.

Basically. But hey...We all have opinions and this is the point of a Message Board.

184 yards against a pathetic defense missing basically all of it's secondary, a lot of which were exaggerated by YAC. His reads were just ok and he still holds the ball too long. Check out the Passer ratings of QBs against Denver this year, all of which are above 100 except 1. I think he's improved, and I hope he can continue to, but I'm not going to get carried away a B- grade is completely fair. Giving him an A for this game is just as knee jerk as giving him an F for the Miami and SD games.
I haven't seen the game yet but from what i heard (second half) plus his stats i gave him an A
