Maybe not, but I just can't see them putting O'Connell as the backup to Cassel this year. Maybe I'm wrong and he's ready for backup duty.
He's more ready than Gutz. BB said that the reason they waived gutz was becuase Cassel and O'Connell were farther along than him so he was the odd man out...so if they bring him back it will be to play 3rd string!
I'm guessing he thought he'd come in and have a few years to learn the NFL game under the best QB ever. Looks like that process may have to speed up a bit - Brady's out, so he's only one Matt Cassel bump or bruise away from being out there in the spotlight.
I hope he's ready for it!
Well if you go back and read the threads prior to the roster cuts you'll see that the consensus here is that there is NO WAY O'Connell can be the backup QB. He just doesn't know enough of the plays.
But of course we'll wait and see what moves the team makes. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gutz come back. All of them know more of the offense than any veteran.
