One thing's for sure: if they are gonna go for a different QB, we'll know it in two weeks. This is the perfect time to do it. I think the jury should still be out on Cassel: he was thrown to the wolves by his OLine tonight. Last year Brady had all the time in the world to throw, and when he didn't (near the end of the season, and against Baltimore) his numbers were not great. Yes, Brady can pull wins out of his butt (again, like the Baltimore game), but I think we should give Cassel time to grow.
If Brady comes back 100 percent next year, and we have a good draft, we will kick some butt. After today I am just not sure if we can make the playoffs. Hopefully we will, but it all depends on the OLine (well, and the DLine )
