The reason Cassel didn't start at USC is because he lost the coin flip. Pete Carroll said as much.
I beg to differ that it's based upon one play. Far from it. I'm amazed that he's lasted this long. He's atrocious. He has no intangibles.
The other thing I'd pile on here is that the coach didn't yank him because he thought it was a forgivable mistake. He yanked him because Gutierrez is probably a much better player at this level.
If Gutierrez was better, then he would be Brady's backup. The coaches base their decision on watching these guys in practice. If the coaches think Cassel is the more competent backup, then he is.
Belichick did not put Cassel back in because he was furious at him. Cassel really did make an atrocious mistake. But if Cassel really is terrible and Gutierrez is that much better, than I expect the depth chart to reflect that accordingly. It doesn't.
Anyway, I can't get too worked up about the backup QB situation because if Brady is out for any significant length of time, we're f'd.

Hey, look, everyone - SANITY! Good post.
By that logic Damon Huard and Michael Bishop (not to mention Drew Bledsoe) are all better than Tom Brady.If Gutierrez was better, then he would be Brady's backup.

When has Cassel ever shown anything in any game? In 3 years you'd think he'd have something. This guy is a stiff. He sucks. Anyone who doesn't see it that way is a homer of homers.
Take it easy. No one's saying the guy's awesome. I just don't think we should cut him because of one bad play. We're probably going to let him go after his contract runs out. For now, I'm willing to see what BB thinks and go with that, okay?
There's a reason why Cassell didn't start at USC.

If you are confident with cassels coming in off the bench in relief of Brady....good for you....
Personally, I'd rather see a journeyman backup with some starting experience (Batch, Collins, Warner) than a raw backup. We would need someone to manage a game - just keep the ship afloat. Plus its not like this is a position where the Pats are trying to develop players.
Good.....at least we think alike.....I think the same of you Mo....first class loser.......I have never seen you make an intelligent post....congrats on that!
