So, let's see what we think so far. Seems like the villagers are ready to storm the village and burn down the "Cassel".

Line 'em up. This is a poll.

I went with vet signee, though besides someone like Vinny, it's basically a blind guess. That said, I could see the vet only being around for a month or so, until BB is comfortable that O'Connell can handle a pressure situation better than said veteran.

I wonder if something like 5th QB (vet) could happen in the Pollard void and that gets sorted by week #1? Odds are that empty place goes to Pat's vet (Seau or Law) or a rookie, so maybe NOW is the time to hunt that vet down?

I went with Tom, Cassell, and O'connell

Despite Cassell sucking it up my reason was one guy has the most knowledge(other than Brady) the other has the most talent (other than Brady). Tough to let Guit go but more important things to the team than developing him.

Unless Gutierrez turns in the performance of a lifetime against the Eagles first stringers on Friday evening, my guess is he's headed to the PS since he's eligible. I sense he's pressing because he knows that. He's been unable to pass Cassel on the depth chart after a full off season and training camp, and that is what he would have had to do to get a foothold on the #2 slot. And while the PS would potentially mean he's here again next season, it would likely mean he's back as the #3 to O'Connell unless he fails to develop at all.

Well, there are worse fates for a journeyman QB than the Pats' practice squad . . . like the active roster for the JEST.

4 QBs. Cassel replaced by a vet.

We also need a back up drop kicker, bring back Flutie.....

I chose #4 and I don't think it should even be close to the other options

I'd like to see us drop Cassel and get a vet signee and maybe keep one of O-Con or Gut by some other means like PUP or the practice squad or other tricks that NFL coaches use to keep players for the future I don't understand, but I think it'll be Brady, Gut and O-Con
