Now we HAVE to franchise him.

Although some of them still can't believe it's not the system.

he's a product of the system that they run up in NWE....he's nothing special.

There's no doubt that MC has played great for NE, in a very difficult spot. However, I fear that his success is a function of playing for the Belichick-Pats system, and that his performance outside of this system will decline.

Ehh I dont know if I really want Matt Cassel. I dont know if its just New Englands system or not. IDK if it gets Favre out of here then I guess i'm game for it lol.

If that were true, couldn't the Mangina just copy this lauded "system" ???

Man there a bunch of sad people.

I love it...

They aren't signing him - they can trade for him if they like though. No way he won't be Franchised at this point. I'd take a #2 pick - but from the Jets it's this year's and next year's #1.

If they actually want him and they don't get him I'm sure they'll file tampering charges.

yeah sure. joe montana , steve young etc played in one of the most famous systems.
Cassel has really earned what he got. Forget about the pats chances, his whole future as a football player after the preseason hung in balance once he stepped in to replace brady.If he had stunk , no one wouldve signed him.He has been playing with house money since game 2.That itsself shows how he can handle pressure.May not be the same player without moss and welker but no one is.

But, but they have the great Brett Favre, the king.........of INT's

im waiting for the "Lets sign Favre to be a veteran backup for O'Connell" threads

dtbrks · 12-21-2008, 08:17 PM

They can want, but can't have (or I hope)

I would hate to see him go to the Jets.

Some of the thread titles alone on that forum are just hilarious, I can only imagine reading through them.

When you hear people say that a guy who is very successful is just a product of a system, ask yourself why don't just copy the system.

It is fair to point out that Cassel has some great talent at skill positions. Some compare to 2001, but if we consider Welker and Troy to be a wash, we are left with Moss, Watson, Morris/Jordan vs. Patten, Wiggins, and A Smith. Not exactly an even trade.

Cassel should do fine -- question is whether he goes to a team like the Bears with some talent but need a QB, or a probably hopeless project like the Lions. (Maybe the Lions could qualify for some kind of bailout.)
