Re: Cassel vs the Vaunted Vet Backup
Yes, the Patriots have talent. But so do the Cowboys. Brad Johnson couldn't win with a wr like TO.
What can Cassel do that say Sage Rosethal can't do? Protect the f'en ball.
Just out of curiosity who should the Patriots not signed to pay this Vet. The guys you listed cost at least $1 million more than Cassel. So do we not sign Welker or not sign Moss last year to pay for this back up QB?
Lets be realistic. What has Cassel done that ANY other crap QB can't do? The throws he makes are essentially the "easy stuff": Screens, slants, dump offs. The knock on him is that he is incapable of (or just sucks at) doing the stuff that guys get paid money to do, like create time in the pocket, make down field reads, deliver the ball in traffic, interprete coverages QUICKLY and make good on field decisions.
By the way, I judge the Pats on the upper 25% of what the other teams are doing, not the bottom 75%. So lets compare him to the top backups: Garcia, Ferrotte, Carr, Collins, etc. I would take ANY ONE OF THEM over him. The ONLY THING he has going right now is knowledge of the system. PERIOD. And this is BB's fault. We should have been carrying a veteran the last 4 years.
PS He also is at the helm of a group of guys that were one of the most prolific offenses in history. Keep that in mind when comparing him to Brady of 2001. Welker/Moss vs. Troy Brown/Patten, Watson vs. Wiggins...
