Can't believe they kept Guttierez over a lot of promising guys.

I hope they can put Rodgers and Oldenburg and Ingram or whatever his name is on the PS.

Guttierez is kind of a waste though. So is Cassel. He's pretty much useless. If Brady goes down they'll lose the game...it's kind of a given. Why have two guys who are useless on the roster, although I guess they can do second team stuff. Have Testaverde on standby, no roster spot.

Why are they useless? Because you say so? Who are you? You sure as hell aren't Belichick? Heck, did you even watch a single snap in pre-season to see how Cassel improved and to see how Gutierrez really showed a LOT of promise.

This BS of yours claiming they are useless shows a lack of understand of the game and of developing talent.

So, did you think it was a waste keeping Brady as the 4th QB?

they'll keep a lot of those promising guys. Low round draft picks like the ones you ran off make it through waivers pretty easily. That's why they're low-rounders.

OK, If I'm reading this right you feel that Gutierrez and Cassel are both useless to keep on the roster, and that Testaverde should be on standby with no roster spot. So you figure they should only carry Brady, and if he gets hurt during a game just forfeit?

A lot of teams have backups that aren't that good. For that matter, some teams starters aren't that good - I don't think Jim Sorgi of the Colts is going to do that well either if Manning went down.

Cassel just sucks. Gutierrez has some promise, probalby won't amount to much but would have made it through waivers anyway.

Are you the guy who thought we could get a 1st round pick for Cassel?

Homer much?

For a guy who hasn't started a game since high school, I really don't expect him to be some sort of great backup. I don't think he sucks though.

I happen to like Cassel and I think he'd surprise us all if he got a couple of consecutive games under his belt. As for Guiterrez, I think he's too promising to give away. I suspect he would have been cut and put on the practice squad, but BB and SP determined that he would have been grabbed by someone.
