As has been said many times before, Matt Cassel didn't allow Brown to score four rushing TDs, etc., etc.
But let's face facts: when Brady went down, your first thought was probably "there goes the #%@@ing season."
So far, Cassel's led us to two more wins than a lot of people here would have figured. And, last I checked, he didn't blow the whistle on the "in the grasp" call, and he sure as heck didn't let Ronnie Brown score four TDs, or let Pennington get 100+ yards on his first eight pass attempts.
Yeah, sometimes he tries too hard, and sometimes he misses potentially great plays. But he's playing about as well as any of us could expect, if not better, given how he played this preseason.
In other words: he's still our quarterback this season, and I'd still rather have Cassel than anyone else.
