I looked back at the Pittsburgh Steelers championship year in 2005/2006 and looked at Ben Roethlisberger's stats for the regular season and its like this...
2,385 yards and 268 attempts on the regular season for him as starting QB in 12 games
With those sort of stats it proves that if you have a strong running game and a defense that can play aggessively game after game you can still go far in this league
Ben only played 12 games that year but if NE lets Cassel be limited to those type of stats such as 160 yards passing and only 17 attempts or so he can just be able to manage things enough to get the team to the playoffs.
HOWEVER what most people are not thinking about now and they should be is that Maroney,Morris and Jordan have to step it up BIGTIME as well as the defense which has several rookies in it and the team will be fine
You don't have to have your QB throw for 3,500 or more yards to win the Super Bowl and Pittsburgh's stats in 2005 proves it - Cassel just needs to manage the game with short passes,screens and no wild throws and leave it to the running game to carry the team from now and thoughout the season.
