I suggest Religion and Lighthearted discussion.
I fail to see why there is even a question about all three. Seymour and maybe Wilfork's contracts are not up until 2010. So that they have zero effect for next season. They are both here.
And the Pats are $20 million under the CAP and not $20 million over the CAP. So they can afford it, obviously to keep Both Cassel and Brady. My prediction is that they will defer any decision until 2010, when the situation is much clearer.
The last thing they would do is trade Cassel and then have the other go down, and then be in the position of the NY JESTs; with only an unready QB like Kevin O'Connell to play QB, or some retread pickup.
40 year old Garcia hasn't completed a season in half a decade. Don't make me laugh.
Nothing annoys me more than outright muddled thinking, like arbitrary statements "...we can't afford it...",when simple arithmetic says otherwise.
If you look at the Clots, they were paying Pay-me-a-ton over $20 million per year in the mid-decade. Proportionately, with the smaller CAP at that time, I think they actually were in the 30+% range for their QBs. Yet they did it, and continued to win.
I see this as a one year activity. KO'C with two years of training, ought to be a backup QB in Year Three, if he can play at all. As a sophomore from a smaller program, no way in hell is he ready in his second year. It was obvious last spring that he has size, he knows how to run around, and has an arm, and that is about it. He displayed no great knowledge of the NFL QB job. That is played 90% between the ears, and not with arm or leg.
system qb like brady, no more no less
NE already knows with belichik they can plug anyone in at qb and win 11 games or more.....so they'll ditch him, draft another backup and brady will be back good as new

ditching him = trading him.....Typical Chargers fan who doesn't understand that ALL successful QBs are "SYSTEM" QBs..
The Patriots aren't "DITCHING" Cassel. They would be trading him to allow him to pursue a career as a starter. And, on a team like the Chiefs, Vikings, or Bears, he could, very well, succeed if they play to Cassel's strengths.
He may "suck" outside New England, but I'd say that's more a function, or dysfunction, of the organization who trades for him. Minnesota has an idiot for a Head Coach and their owner doesn't come across as very stable. Detroit has a dysfunctional organization that needs a Front Office enema. And so on...ditching him = trading him.....
they're going to get rid of cassell somehow, and find a sucker who doesn't realize he's going to suck outside of NE
book it, this is right out of the NE playbook, their stars leave, and suck elsewhere

If we trade Cassel it would be for....Draft Picks
Can I make a wild prediction against odds?
Hopefully Brady's ready, I doubt we pay Cassel enough to stay as insurance and O'Connell only has one year in the system...
If Brady needs a little time I predict the opening game QB will be....
Matt Gutierrez.
So you think the Patriots will start off next season at 0-1?
Matt Cassel played poorly for the third straight game and his status as No. 2 quarterback could be in jeopardy. Second-year pro Matt Gutierrez did much better when he came in early in the second half, completing 14 of 20 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns.
The Patriots clearly miss Brady.

If that were the case, why was Gutierrez the emergency QB all of last season?
