Never, I want the results posted on his locker for motivation.

Then I'm guessing you don't want him to know about these stats:

Matt Cassel 65.3 4-1 108.9
Trent Edwards 68.1 0-0 91.2
Chad Pennington 51.0 3-3 59.3
Brett Favre 67.6 1-6 57.7

NFL Quarterbacks on Third Down:

Matt Cassel 65.3 4-1 108.9

Favre,Edwards and Pennington are better than Cassel at this point so he is where he should be at this time

Cassel is a game manager as a starting QB sub, not a guy who must carry the team on his shoulders like Favre and Pennington have to do

I thought he had a much higher passer rating, but I think most are correct that on paper he is the worst in the AFCE

Re: Cassel getting hammered in NFL poll.

Whats the issue? Cassel is not as good as any of the guys listed on that poll at this point.

I'd rather have Cassel than Pennington, wouldn't want Favre at all, not now, not ever. Edwards may be another story. Give him a year in the Pats system and he'd be good to go.

Give me a game manager over a guy like Favre who keeps even crappy teams like the Chiefs, Raiders, and Bengals in games because of costly turnovers. brady was a game manager in 2001 and he won a Super Bowl. I know Cassel isn't Brady, but a game manager isn't neccessarily a bad thing.

NFL.com is running a poll.

Who is the best QB in the AFC East?

Cassel is getting creamed.

Vote and change that.

6% Matt Cassel, Patriots

42% Brett Favre, Jets

13% Chad Pennington, Dolphins

39% Trent Edwards, Bills

Although this poll is not as important as voting in the AFC defensive player of the week for Richard Seymour

Vote for Matt.

What is hilarious about this poll is that Chad Pennington is actually having a better year than Favre and I think Edwards is too. It just goes to show you how much of an effect popular public opinion has.

He had a stronger game this past Sunday than the week before but his passer rating showed just the opposite. It's a pointless stat.

Pennington's been one of the best QB's in the league this year, let alone the AFC East.

I always thought that Pennington's major problems was the team and coach he played for. If he continues to play to the same level all year, this could be proven correct.

When will we find the results?

I agree. I always thought Pennington was a scary QB to play against. His accuracy is second to none, and he makes up for lack of arm strength with good decision making.

Let's put it this way, if this team had Pennington at QB rather than Cassel after the Brady injury, I'd have felt much more confident about a possible Super Bowl run.

Cassel will turn out to be better than Penny and with a crazy deep-ball to boot. I think they both are suffering from underratitis. In Chad's case it's a long-term condition a stint in Miami may cure.

Re: Cassel getting hammered in NFL poll.

You would rather have Edwards and Penni leading your team in the fourth Q of a playoff game than a HOF QB?

You are far to biased to form a fair opinion on this.

I like Pennington a lot. I think I'd rather have the predictable Pennington than the loose cannon Favre. I also think that Pennington would have been a great fit for the Patriots offense.

I haven't seen enough of Edwards to have a real good opinion of him. I've seen way too much of Favre.
