I hope The complete bust known as Matt Cassel leads this team to a play-off game or two or three or four in a few months.

its not fair to bring this thread back up, afterall, if you cant succeed with the offensive talent that he has to work with, then your more then a complete bust.

Cassel didnt complete a throw longer then 5 yards last week, unless you want to count the YAC on the screens.

anyone doing that, wont go far. obviously i realize it was only his first game with a full week of real prep with the first team, but by game 6 and were still seeing that from him, then Ill be concerned.

as of right now, the Pats dont trust him to throw the ball.

Or the Jets did a good job of taking away the deep stuff (pressure affecting the throw to an open Moss deep, that he still should have caught). Do you think the patriots call plays that demand Cassel NOT throw past 5 yards? You are crazy if you think this. Same playbook, same plays, if it's not open deep... you don't force it.

Hmmn... On this thread there were only three people willing to give Matt Cassel the time of day. Sixpack, Mo , and me.

How come there are 35 "charter members" of the Matt Cassel fan club??

I'll bet guys like stcjones or Pats Va, now consider themselves Matt Cassel fan club charter members.

If I recall, I was the most vociferous, if you can call tepid support vociferous, proponent for Cassel and all I said was that he was doing EXACTLY what BB assigned him to do.

1)Test the O-line candidates,

2)Find out whether CJax and CJ are worth a bucket of warm spit, and

3) Take the lumps for Brady while doing so.

Later I decided BB gave him the Tar baby, to see how he had matured; and test his reactions to purposely planned adversity.

And some of us just shook our heads at the preseason ignorance and saved our passion for fighting lesser demons.
