Rodgers was very productive in college for several years in a major conference. Cassell was a backup QB and TE in college. Colleges have limited practice time as it is, I'm sure getting the backup QB reps is not a priority. So, that's a pretty big difference in my opinion, in that Rodgers has shown he can get it done in game situations against quality opposition. Cassell has received a lot of training over the last three years, but he's never been the guy in the huddle leading the offense in a game situation. I think Rodgers has a significant edge in that respect.
I agree with you entirely and I've been pretty hard on Cassell for his preseason perfomance.
However, BB kept him as the #2 QB and he played ok last week. I am definitely worried about how he will perform over the course of the season, but as a fan, he has my support.
