Cassel hype on this board reaches epidemic proportions

Gaffney's a lot more proven than the hall of famer. Are you saying Cassel hasn't missed a wide open Moss more than once?

I give up you guys are right, Cassel is better than Moss and Gaffney. They're just holding him back.

Ray me boy, you're puting up a straw person arguement. The posters are simply saying that quality play by the WRs would make Matt's performance and possibly our W/L record better. Realisticly, both Moss and The Hut aren't playing their best football. That is not saying that they're bad, either, just not hiting their expected level.

Well Moss and Gaffney are unproven commodities. I'm sure once they change their games to accommodate the greatness that is Matt Cassel, they could be adequate receivers in this league.

It's obvious Matt knows exactly what he's doing, so it has to be his receivers making mistakes.

Nice of you to say Randy isn't bad, despite his holding MC back. I know he tends to lack confidence at times.

So he is only better than 1/2 to 2/3 of the currect STARTING QBs in the NFL?

And you find that to be a negative somehow?

What's wrong with 4-5 million a year? Sounds like a good deal, but in fact it will likely be double that amount.

If Cassel were great, we would not have 6-4 record. I'm not impressed with up and down Cassel.

If Morris gets a better block, we're not 6-4.
If Gaff catches a perfect ball, we're not 6-4.
If Watson doesn't fumble, we're not 6-4.
If the defense can stop the wildcat, we're not 6-4.

If you could see past years of experience and pay-scales... we're still 6-4.



Cassel showed he can put the game on his back, just like Tom. He showed poise under pressure. In numerous games he showed the ability to keep going back to the guys with the slippery hands and they have put up points. If anyone is "up and down" it the New England Patriots football team. Like it or hate, Cassel represents more consistency than most of the other players.


If "ifs and buts" were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas.

Like what you and marcus have ever thought matters a hill of beans in the whole scheme of the NFL...
