I just brought this up in another thread, but I thought Cassel's performance yesterday, while good enough for the win and highlighted by a few great plays, was not his best. I attribute some of it to the OL, but he left some plays out there, and I thought he lacked the pocket presence & accuracy of week's prior.
Going into the Steelers game, his stock would've been at "tag and trade for a first rounder" level. Where is it at now? I'd say we could either get a 2nd, or swap firsts with someone in the middle round (I'm still assuming we're picking late in the first round at this point) [in addition to some other 3rd-5th round picks].
The next 3 games will be huge in terms of whether a) Cassel can continue to play at a level that earns us a playoff berth b) Cassel continues to play at a level that is worthy of us tagging him and grabbing some draft picks from a QB-hungry team.
