Young and Jaws analyses...

[AzPatsFan]

Steve Young has always been very tough on the Patriots and Bill Belichick. Yesterday, it was as if he had had a Revelation, on the way to Tarsus.

His diagnosis of Belichick's reasons for cancelling the visits of Rattay and Simms, was a thoughtful opinion, that would have undermined Cassel's confidence, to no good purpose. Bill had decided that Cassel was good enough to win with, even before he had any experience to verify it. Plus I liked the opinions that Belichick had not stripped down the Offense and was using the entire Offense, forcing Cassel to grow in all aspects of the QB role, no matter how tough.

His (their) opinion that Belichick was building for the end of the season with Cassel; even it it hurt in the meantime. Jaws concurred, with that analysis, too. Belichick was treating the early regular season as nothing but an advanced Training Camp!

There has been little as encouraging as these analyses by two very good football leaders and QBs. It seems to them that Belichick expects that he will have a winning season with MC; and is prepping him for playoff competition. Meanwhile the early regular season record is .667 ball at 4-2.

That has to be very encouraging for a Patriot fan, in this Winter of our Discontent.

It almost sounded as if Young was screaming at the top of his lungs in joy after the game. How can someone who has bashed the Pats so much be so straight forward about them?

There were alot of us here that felt the same way about the reasoning behind them telling Rattay and Simms to go home.

What doesn't kill ya can only make you stronger... This is why I can't believe so many people were jumping off the bridge after last week. This team is going to have games like that, we're playing with a guy who never started since high school! But the important thing is that he is experiencing every test and situation. That's all you can ask for. Until this team is eliminated, they are going to get better, you can bet on that.
