Exactly. How many wasted opportunities were there before and after the pass Bowe dropped?

What's the worst that could happen? He gets hurt and we end up where we are now

Give it a try

Works for me I guess.:rockon:

If you agree with myth #3 aren't you saying it's NOT a myth? :hmmm

It is because not playing him for that reason is bunk. Cassel isn't the long term answer either. We don't have a long term answer.

Admit it pete. I am right. As I'm always right when I debate you in that other forum. ;)

We don't need Brokie to be Tom Brady out there. We just want a REALISTIC chance that he will make a semi-accurate throw downfield to a receiver who is being covered in man coverage. We need just enough throws to prevent 8 men in the box because the defense knows our only viable threat is to run the ball.

The defense is willing to take the chance and load the box knowing that the perfect storm has to occur for Cassell to hurt them. Will he be able to locate the open receiver? Will this receiver be the best option or will it be the checkdown 95% of the time? Will he make an accurate throw covering more than 10 yards in the air? Will our #1 receiver catch that throw? Will the O-Line be able to protect Cassell long enough for his brain to process all this data? Will the ball slip from his hands for no apparent reason while he's concentrating on all of the above?

Croyle wouldve made that throw to bowe in the endzone on the first drive.

I'm willing to bet Croyle would have realized Bowe had 3 defenders around him and checked off to Copper or Castille or just ran it.

Thats the thing with Cassel he is NEVER EVER in a groove. OTher qb's while they may not set the world on fire, they have a streak where they are on it. Cassel? never. He's all over the place all the time. Great throw here, next play beyond terrible throw. He will have a few more bad throws before he has a good throw.

He has no consistency at all when throwing a football. I sat here wqatching the game today and Cassel will throw a good pass and i am like ya, ok, now we got something going. Maybe Cassel will be in a little zone. Next pass not even close.

IT FRUSTRATES ME!!!!!!!!

i agree with a few posts that could swing either way. I have hated croyle for being a little b#$ch but he does have a nice spiral and he always looks at more than one receiver. Cassel on the other hand will hike the ball and then look and stare at the spot he is throwing the ball....worthless... dead give away everytime...thats why the only long plays we have had have been from trick plays or JC

I think it comes from lack of recognition. Or perhaps he is thinking too much? Most QB's got a pretty good idea of what the defense is going to do before the ball is snapped. It's like Cassel gets the ball then waits to see if he is right?

You do it to try to get a spark, and If he gets hurt, then you're back to Cassel. What have you got to lose? Nothing. Cassel should be yanked. It's Croyle's turn to get a shot. I don't give a shit what his record is under Herman Fn Edwards.

But, but, but.....that could bruise the psyche of Cassel

I don't think you can say he's not accurate. Football is a little like poker, you don't always have to complete a pass over 20 yards, but if the other team thinks you might you've accomplished something. I think that alone would help the run game continue to be successful.
