This.

That makes a little more sense, I was interpreting the original comment more from a faith in Croyle angle than a lack of faith in Cassel angle.

They've got to be frustrated in general with their lack of production, even more than we are, and they can see what the weak link is just as clearly.

Exactly. I just don't understand how the F/O does not see this. I think reading the conference from Haley, he sees and knows it.

Noticed a couple times Bowe was thrown behind and over or under and looked pissed. I think it is wearing on them all.

Like I said, I interpreted it more you saying they believed Croyle is the guy, which wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, instead of believing that Cassel is not, which clearly makes every bit of sense. My mistake.

It's a drastically different situation than Jones and Charles, which is a proven veteran and a (in my mind) somewhat less proven, but still proven, younger vet. Jones would make sense as a starter on his own merits, without Charles in the equation. Whereas with Cassel and Croyle, you have an unproven veteran backed up by an unproven injury-prone veteran. Not exactly the embarrassment of riches that the Jones and Charles situation is.

Eric Berry would throw for more yards than Cassel and make the pro bowl

No I probably didn't say that right. I think the team probably just sees it for what it is...and Cassel represents upper management to them. (And lack of production)

so after making it 30 or so posts in and with no real info, can anyone summarize WTF is going on please.

Haley will hunt the rat down.

I think the local media should be talking about McCluster on offense.

I think that, so far, McCluster has about 2 rushes for about 2 total yards. And 2 receptions for a total of probably 20 yards.

I'm not seeing the explosive, game-changing, impact of this guy on offense ... or am I missing something? Is he a decoy, maybe?

No he def. needs more touches too. get him on some crossing routes and get him the ball early and let him run.

Well ... there's only one ball ...

Just ask the Browns' center.

The thing that I've found strange is that he's spending more time in the backfield than he is split out, and I was under the impression they were planning to take more advantage of his receiver skills.

But maybe I'm just being impatient and that's something that will take a while to develop. Receiver is a position that takes some time to transition from college to pro, and he hasn't focused on it for a couple of years.

Well, you can receive out of the backfield too, I guess. It is strange that McCluster is getting a pass (due, perhaps, to his big return?) while Berry is declared a bust by Petro and Wright is blathering about Charles not getting more of Jones' carries.
