Re: Lets face Reality
Can we stop with the QB thing? Really?
The Ravens won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer and they had weeks stretches without an offensive TD. The Redskins won with Doug Williams. Jeff Hostetler got the Giants to a Super Bowl.
The Ravens went 12-4 a few years back with shell of his former self Steve McNair who threw for 16 TDs and 12 INTs. That same year the Bucs won their division with the combination of Chris Simms and Brian Griese and 17 TDs between them. I
n 2004, Roethlisberger only threw for 17 TDs.
In 2005, the Broncos went 13-3 with Jake Plummer only throwing 18 TDs. the Jags went 12-4 with Leftwich throwing for 15 TDs and 6 more from the back ups (Gray and Garrard), the Bears went 11-5 with Kyle Orton getting 9 TDs and 13 INTs with his back ups getting 2 TDs and 2 INTs.
There are plenty examples of teams winning their division or going to the playoffs with some pretty average to bad QB play. I am tired of this constant Cassel bashing. If Cassel can manage the game like he did in the first two games, history has shown the Pats can still win games.
