Not sure Fiedler fits that profile. Maybe someone that's closer to the end of their career, like a Testeverde -type (NOT him, but someone like him).

As for free agents, I can think of:
Jeff Blake/Bears--Still hangs around each season.
Shaun Hill/Vikings--No experience.
Ty Detmer/Falcons--Absolutely finished.
Craig Krenzel/Bengals--Very little experience.
Shane Matthews/Bills--Hasn't taken a regular season snap in a few years.
Tommy Maddox-Maybe best left. That isn't saying much. Stunk last year.
Tony Banks-Has been no. 2 for Houston. Hasn't played in a while.
The arguement would be that Brady had a world more experience as a starter in college. That said, I want Cassel as the #2 this year.Ochmed Jones said:If you count playoff games, isn't Cassell at the same point and time as Brady was when Drew got hurt, on day 1 of this season??????
Can't judge a player very well by selecting the stats for his worse game. If you consider Tom Brady's first game against Denver, you'd have to say that Doophins and Dolts fans are right.groundgame said:I'd give nod to Fieldler too. Below are Kerry Collins SB XXXV stats:
N.Y. Giants
Collins: Attempts: 39; Completions: 15; Yards: 112; Touchdowns: 0; Interceptions: 4

I'm not saying Cassell is another Brady.
Ah, yes, the old "dink-and-dunk" "system."patpatriot said:He's a tough smaht experienced QB who can be successful in the Patriots "small ball system".
I like this scenario as well...although I wonder about Fiedler learning the play book and then being released....do the Pats really wish to do that???dryheat44 said:The ideal thing to do, IMO (and Fiedler will have to go for it), is to sign Fiedler and then put him on the PUP list. That would give us some time to see if Cassell can be #2 (I think he's ligit). If not, when the decision has to be made, we can activate Jay. If Cassell looks to be OK in practices or mop-up duty, then we'll release Fiedler, when he'd be free to sign with some other team with QB injury issues.
