I do know that a many of these guys have asked me many times since Cassel was traded for and I posted my observations and thoughts from watching '08 Patriot replays on NFL Network over the summer if I thought he was a guy that could lead this team to wins in the playoffs? Until the last month, my answer was no. I do believe otherwise now. |
There's a lot of gray area, even for those like myself who admitted to hating the acquisition and his play for the majority of his time in KC. I'm sorry, when you post a QB rating of 14.6, and then claim you graded out "perfectly," I won't say positive things.
But even during this period, if he performed well, made a good throw, etc., I said so (usually in game threads). So, back to the initial question. Again, this is too simplistic. Did I react rashly to the initial acquisition? Perhaps. Did I react rashly to his on-field play? I think a strong argument can be made for "no." What might be my biggest mistake is that I claimed that "presence" and "football instincts" cannot be learned at the highest level. If Cassel continues his current trajectory, he will definitely prove me wrong. |

It just doesn't register as critical by my definition. |

Wanting better from our QB is NOT wanting the best. Makes sense. Sent from my Teddy Ruxpin using Tapatalk |

Enlighten me. How does a team with nothing more than draft position to play for find itself in a critical situation? |

I'm a Patriots fan, and I still want better from Brady. I'd expect that about 99.99999999% of Colts fans feel that way about Manning. That doesn't translate to bashing the QB over every incompletion. You're trying to make them the same thing. |

If that's the right thread, many bashers put forth the things they would need to see from Cassel to accept him as the answer. All this talk of "moving goalposts," you'd think it'd be easy to pull up that thread and use specifics. You see... This has become every bit as idiotic as a political argument. Why? Because it has turned into people constantly saying, "You believe _____," rather than listening to people say what they believe. It's much easier to build statement than to actually deal with the real-life facts. Sent from my Teddy Ruxpin using Tapatalk |

Can you tell me where to look specifically? I'm confident of mine, but I'm sure you have some specifics in mind to turn me around on this "they root for a flat tire!" theory. Sent from my Teddy Ruxpin using Tapatalk |
