Never I say never! He will pass for 529 yards and five touchdowns at age 87 and be wheeled directly from the field to his nursing home!
Never!
Um, he's showing solid improvement as a backup. I think the very conditions of this year are bringing out the best in some guys... I like the young guys at LB and I like Cassel's improvement. I like what I've seen of Ben Laden Green Levis. I could see them just missing the playoffs, and I could see them catching fire as well... it would be dumb to predict a super bowl, but the "giants" (no pun intended) of 2008 don't exactly strike fear in my heart (Tennessee, Pittsburgh, the Gintz.) It's wide open - Why not us?
All that said Cassel is showing a lot of capability out there, and if we see the same trendline through the end of the season, he is a starting QB in the NFL as soon as he is free to be (i.e., depends on franchising.)
I'll have a new "second favorite" team at that point, assuming no competition w/the Pats.
