Unless he shows something in the next three preseason games, it is time to cut the ties. This guy has seemed to have regressed since last year.

On a side note, Chris Simms may be getting cut by the Bucs. I would love to see the Pats go after him for the #2 QB although he will probably want to go somewhere he can compete for the starting job.

I still think we need to get a veteran back up in here if Cassel can't turn it around. If we do, Belichick is going to have to make a tough decision about Gutieriez. Either he will have to keep for QBs or risk passing him through waivers and get him on the practice squad.

I still think as of right now we do not have a QB on our roster good enough or experienced enough to be a #2 QB.

It's too early to do anything, but I have a feeling what will happen is that he'll compete through pre-season and get released. He wouldn't bring anything in a trade.

What is the state of Simms' health? Wasn't he on IR last year?

Exactly...

I have no idea why people keep talking about trading Cassell. He was a 7th rd pick who never started a college game who has gotten worse in each of the last 3 years...who would ever given anything up for him? It doesn't make sense. He will be released along with Guiterez and a veteran will be brought in for the #2 qb spot. It's not like these guys are going to be hard to cut...they have never done anything!

our current backup QBs need to go because they are not dependable. We only need to keep our rookies QB to see if he's productive or not. I believe that our rookie will play a lot this year.

It would be nice to get a veteran QB to back up Brady, but there's not much out there. I think the jury's still out on Cassell. He's barely had a chance to play a down in the NFL. Maybe he's just plain awful, but maybe BB has seen something different. Otherwise he probably would have brought in a another backup with more experience prior to this year.

Or maybe, as you say, he's regressed and been so bad in TC that alarm bells are going off in the FO. I think he stays as the primary backup for now.

what did he last year other than scramble and run for first downs?

he had a meltdown in his prime opportunity in the miami game and miami ended up being the worst team.
