Aaron Rodgers was a first round pick. Matt Cassel wasn't. There are reasons for that. Every single day that both QBs were in the league, Aaron Rodgers was a better prospect than Matt Cassel. That's not hindsight that's just reality.

There's a reason that the media went gaga of Tony Romo in 2007. There is a reason people had doubts about how Cassel would perform once he left the Patriots cocoon.

Does anyone really think Cassel has the potential to be a gunslinger like Romo or Rogers? His top end is game manager.

"Is Matt Cassel the next Tony Romo"?
No, but at least the flunkies are raising the "comparison bar" past Trent Green now.

Baby Steps!

I mean, if he did, and he continues to play out of his mind we'd be getting a deal and Pioli would look like a genius.

But in the NFL, guys are always getting new contracts before their old ones expire. Cassel's agent would be pushing for a new deal, and unless Pioli really takes a stand and makes him play it out, there's not a single year we get Cassel at a halfway reasonable price. Based on his performance of this year, we didn't get our money's worth.
"Our money"???
Are you Clark Hunt?

Whats more important than Clark's wasted money is the Chiefs wasting time on a QB that doesn't pan out.
Yup.

This is just more worthless rationalizing.

The problem isn't that he's getting an average contract in relation to his 'peers' (though calling Romo or Rodgers a 'peer' is laughable; Jamarcus Russell qualifies though).

The problem is that he's locked in as the starting quarterback for my hometown franchise despite sucking royally at actually playing quarterback.

I guess that Maple Syrup comes from trees. This, of course, means that at some time in deep, dark antiquity, some crazy bastard licked a tree for no reason.

Why are we comparing salary and contracts at all?

All it means is that Cassel has a very good agent, and Pioli may or may not have jumped the gun. It has NOTHING to do with Matt Cassel.

Congrats.

Matt Cassel compares favorably to the absolute worst contract in the league.

This is really what you're hanging your hat on?

Yeah, and I have an agenda.

Because it shows Pioli is willing to throw big money at scrubs. There WILL be a time when Salary Cap is an issue. How are we supposed to field a good team with a backup QB making 15MM. Not to mention what we are paying a 5 tech. Whats next? A punter making 20MM/year. Before we know it, we are at the salary cap ceiling and the players making the most don't deserve the contracts.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Its WAY to call Cassel a scrub, and the rest of your post is garbage.

So you not understanding economics, or the salary cap (or English from your post) makes my post garbage. Interesting. You go ahead and buy a franchise and spend 120MM on a career back up and a 5 tech and see how quickly you would be ran out of town. You would be calling Matt Millen asking him for a job and he would just laugh at you.
