I'll give him a C. He was really average. He didn't do anything bad or great.

he did make a couple of nice throws to Moss and a couple of td passes.

i would say a solid B.

Cassel still holds onto the ball way to long and has not made much improvement in seeing the field. he's got to learn to hit those receivers a lot quicker.

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.

Statistically, a good game. Next step for him is to learn to get rid of the ball instead of taking the neg. yards. On a couple of the sacks he had no chance, but a couple of times he turned around a couple of times looking for a place to run, just through the ball. And that almost interception at the goal line, just a terrible throw. Nice to see the Pats came right back with the same pattern for him.

He did make one big mistake in the rollout to Faulk that was almost a pick.
Funny how they basicly ran the same play again right after the review overturned the call!

The Screen Touchdown wasn't really Cassel. Players played hard today. Yes he had 3TD but Welker was wide open. The TD he threw to Moss when Bly covered Moss was nice. I am not hating but I just don't think he deserves a B. He didn't change the game. Denver was poor and the good running helped him a lot.

I gave him a B-. That Broncos defense is hilariously bad and he still holds the ball a little too long and doesn't go deep. I think tonight definitely helps him rythm/chemistry wise though. The OL continues to be the Pats biggest issue IMO.

B.

Same issues that will get better with more playing time. The OL blew it sometimes. Cassel held on too long sometimes. Can't argue with with 3 TDs and the 130+ rating. He did what he had to do.

A-? That's like a 94/100 in my school. But I wish him the best. Hopefully, this game boosts his confidence and he starts playing better. He needs to read defense and find his 2nd and 3rd options. He is not deceptive either.
