Jeez, it's only four letters.
OK everyone - sit down. I've got a related stat that's REALLY going to blow your mind.
Matt Cassel also has played in more GAMES this season than all the other former Trojan QBs -- combined.
I've got to say, do fans here really think its remarkable that Cassel, with 14 starts has more TDs than than ANY number of QBs who have combined for 6 starts among them?
I appreciate the irony that Cassel, after sitting on the bench for so long at USC now has more starts than injured or demoted former Trojan QBs - but I don't find it anymore remarkable that he has more TDs than guys sitting on the bench than I do that he has more TDs than players who have retired.
That's basically the whole point. The star USC QBs Palmer, Leinart, and Booty aren't even playing while Matt Cassel, who barely saw the field in college, is starting, winning, and playing extremely well.
Actually I'll give it to Matt for scoring so many TDs in this one game (I thought the reporter was talking about the whole season - not just one game)
That is pretty remarkable - and even though it was the Raiders, scoring more than 4 TDs in a game is still pretty remarkable. I'm just not overwhelmed by the inclusion of a QB who hasn't played in any games, less so with Leniart's 2 games or Palmer's 4.
I just think that says more about how bad all those guys have been than about a very good QB like Cassel scoring 4 TDs against the Raiders.
Didn't he hold a clip board for two of those guys?
Yea but Palmer is injured and Leinart got beat out by an MVP winner and Cassel is only playing because Brady is injured.
Great picture.
On a related note, I also love this series of pictures:
People always rip Belichick, like he's not human, like he's a mad genius, or a robot, but obviously, he is very human, has a heart, and is a caring individual. I'm sure he was reliving the loss of HIS father this week, and cares very deeply for all of his players. Those pics are great ! And makes me proud I'm a fan of this team !
Love it, both the stat and the photo. Does Matt qualify for comeback player of the year?

Darnell Bing (LB, Detroit) was promoted to the active roster for the Lions. In case you forgot, he has bounced between safety and linebacker in the NLF.
I think that was part of the point.Not to throw water on this but Cassel has also played far more games than all those other USC QBs combined.
Me too. Me too. The sad part is people will still see Belichick as a mad genious who has no heart.
Thankfully, we as fans know the real person that he is.
GO PATS!!
