BB/Pioli must not place a great deal of value on this spot.
Matt Cassell, even before injury....lacks mobility, has happy feet and little experience.
Matt Guttierez- a long term project at best.
Now with Cassell injured they bring in 43 yo Testaverde.

If Brady gets hurt, it seems they could do better with a more experienced but not completely past his prime backup. Kelly Holcomb for example.

Look at some of the better backups in the NFL:
Brad Smith, Marques Tsuiasospo, Patric Ramsay, Damon Huard, Charlie Batch, Kerry Collins, Tim Rattay, David Garrard, David Carr, Brian Griese, Seneca Wallace

It seems that this is a real weak area for the Patriots and in this era, the likelihood of needing a strong backup quarterback at some point during teh season is high.

F-ing relax. Good God. People $uck.

I expected the hostile response.

Can't f..ing discuss anything on this board except how BB/Pioli and TB are the best thing since sliced bread

Deus Irae

Well, given that you're making an unprovable claim, do you really expect flowers and chocolates?

PATSNUTme

Sliced bread is over rated.

That has NOTHING to do with it. It has everything to do with the fact that you're seeing a pre-season game, in which the QBs (Cassel especially) are playing with a patchwork group of CRAP that are going to be cut any day.

Add to that the fact that they were playing with an OL who is learning a new blocking scheme.

Add to that the fact that NO TEAM has a great situation if their F-ing startting QB is out for the year.

Add to that the fact that newbie chicken littles like you always to manage to pollute this board with simpleton, clueless, breathless shrieks like this - AFTER WEEK TWO OF PRE-SEASON - and it's worthy of derision.

Now, with your response, heaps MORE of derision are duly headed your way. NO ONE here who is any kind of veteran of the board is beyond holding Belichick/Pioli responsible for gaffes they've made - Hell, I just started a thread TODAY about the misfire on Garrett Mills. Then there's Marquise Hill. Monty Beisel. Donald Hayes. Steve Martin. You want me to GO ON?

Why don't you go on? And stop cluttering the board with useless crap like this and then flinging around disingenuous B.S. about us being homers just because we disagree with you. Bring something to the table, newbie, or don't start threads.

WOW. Talk about not knowing whats going on.

1) Cassel doesn't lack mobility.
2) We don't know (and may never know) the extent of Cassel's injury.
3) Of the guys you mentioned, Huard is a starter. Brad Smith is a WR. Tuiasisopo is so good that the Raiders let him go and decided that Andrew Walter was better. Tim Rattay is a 3rd QB for the Titans. Batch isn't great at all.

Back-up QB has never been a weak area for the Pats except when they had Davey there.

(A) If he were injured, why would they have him playing?
(B) Cassel lacks mobility?
