Re: One football experts analysis of Matt Cassel
I am not one to overract to a players. I don't trash Chad Jackson or Josh McDaniels or any other Pats fan whipping boys. I just don't think Cassel is an NFL QB. He has a lot of the tools, but the fact that he hasn't played any serious football since high school has hinder him in bad habits like making poor decisions and staring down WRs. It is no coincidence since preseason 2006, Cassel has 5 INTs and zero TDs other than the one he threw to Jason Taylor.
Seriously. Does anyone feel comfortable if say Brady goes out in a game and the Pats are down by 2 points with three minutes left that Cassel could come in and mount a game winning drive? Anyone feel comfortable in a game where it is close enough that one screw up could be the difference for him to come in and do anything than hand off the ball even if the opposing team had a great rushing defense?
The mob needs someone to beat with their sticks.
